Monthly theme - "Summer Fun" - July 2006
As it's winter in the hemisphere where I live, I had to search my archives for an image for the monthly theme. This is a resubmit - boys competing in a surf carnival event in Sydney last January. Cropped, levels, buzzed.

  I'm glad you resubmitted this. It is fantastic. Love the way the frame is divided into sections.
Summer is but a distant memory here but this capture brings it back to life.
