This month we are seeking photos featuring:
Dennis Darts. If you submit such a photo, you may still submit 2 other new photos (3 photos in total).
To ensure consistency, photos must be displayed with a width of 640 (or height if 640 if a "portrait" aspect) - photos wider than 640 are required to use the option width=640 or height=640 in the image tag. For example:
[img width=640] instead of
[img].
Submissions close midnight 28 April, Australian Eastern Standard Time.
Voting will commence on 29 April. Voting will close on 1 May.
Since I haven't taken many bus photos this year, I'll have to stick with some from last year.
