This week's theme is prompted by StrollerEd's final comment on my image from last week's contest. He wrote, "That top spot awarded for an image that stands to remind us of momentous events we surely all hope will be resolved peaceably." I firmly believe that when we are facing troubled times we have to look forward to the real possibility that things can be better. If not, we are inevitably faced with despair. I looked at the master list and, to my surprise, saw that "Peace" has never been the theme.
As always, you are free to interpret the theme as you choose. I don't want any vision I might have to hamper your artistic process.
Standard rules apply.

Standard rules apply.
- Follow all relevant local laws regarding stay-at-home orders. If you can't go outside, try and take a photo at home or grab one from the archives.
- Do not comment, vote, react or click “like” on images prior to the winners being announced.
- The photographs must be your own work.
- You may only submit one photo per contest.
- This contest runs for one week. If in doubt, check the dates in the title.
- At the end of the week, The Judge will choose a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place photo, providing as much feedback as possible.
- If the Judge is unable to complete the selection within 48 hours of the deadline, then last week's 2nd place has to step in. 3rd place takes over should 2nd place be similarly unable to officiate.
- The 1st place Winner will start a new thread with the topic/theme of their choice, and act as the Judge for that contest. (Winner has 48 hours to create a new theme, after that it defers to 2nd place).
- Be sure to update the Contest Master List as soon as you post a new theme.
- Contest ends at the end of the day on Feb 2. Since that is Groundhog Day, I will reckon the end of the day according to the time in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.
