Please read the appropriate DISCUSSION THREAD to be up to date before posting. You may post as many photographs in the discussion thread but the actual contest thread is limited to one photo.
The theme of the photo you enter in the "Theme" contest is determined by the winner of the last contest.
To be able to stay on a monthly schedule, the last day for submitting entry photographs will be five days before the end of the month, ie, if the month ends on the 30th then photos must be submitted no later than the 25th. If the month ends on the 31st then photos must be submitted no later than the 26th. Etc...
There are 31 days in January 2014, so, entries will end on January 26th, 2014.
The poll will be opened the day after the last day for submitting entry photographs.
Only users who have been registered on City-Data over 30 days and who have at least one valid post may enter the contest or vote on the contest. (Rule added Feb 3, 2012)
One photograph per contest
You must have been the person who took the photograph which is entered. (Rule added Apr 1, 2012)
All photographs must have been taken within 30 days of the date you submitted them.
Please add the title of your photo, and any information that you want to share. We do enjoy knowing. The title is needed/placed in the Poll.
You have 90 minutes to alter/edit your post. If you need help with the title or information, just DM me Poncho_NM and I will fix it for you.
Do not use the entry thread for discussions, until after a winner has been announced. There is a separate thread to be used for discussions.
If you have an suggestions, you may DM me Poncho_NM .
Thanks and good luck!

So the theme for the January 2014 Theme Contest is Determination as described above.
St Augustine, FL. One of the oldest buildings built in the US - 1672. The British were determined to take the fort, but they found that their cannon balls just bounced off or stuck in the porous coquina rock that the fort is constructed of.

On the way to the metro/subway, I pass by a Bank of China branch. At the end of the workday, the women who are tellers, receptionists, etc come outside and scrub down the sidewalk. This happens just as rush hour is starting. The thing I find amazing is how seriously they all take it... they scrub that dingy, tiled sidewalk to oblivion, the older ones taking the matter very seriously, barking down admonishments of slowness and encouragement of spirit to the younger ones, who seem to take the whole affair in a lighthearted way... they laugh, encourage, or jokingly mock one another as indifferent commuters step through their work.
To this end, the woman who's near the middle, facing the camera, was eyeballing me with determination as I snapped the picture. The younger one, second to the right, was smirking at me. You can see if you zoom in.
It took a lot of work and determination to create this Hindu Mandir - it is a masterpiece of intricate design and workmanship, replete with its 5 towering white pinnacles, 12 smooth domes and glittering 136 marble pillars. Over 33,000 pieces of Italian marble and Turkish limestone were hand-carved by skilled craftsmen and assembled by volunteers in just 16 months.
The 25,620 sq ft (2,380 m2) mandir is constructed entirely of marble from Italy and limestone from Turkey. There is no iron or steel anywhere in the structure.
