 Yeah, I know. I'm lucky. You probably live in a paper bag in a septic tank. :-)

This picture is homage to the classic Monty Python sketch "Four Yorkshiremen" :-)

I will probably get a brown ribbon for this one. People informing me that my picture does not fit the challenge. Does not show my village, town or city, from a new perspective. Is not Putting the guide books to shame... etc

Well my picture is taken on the road outside my house and is taking a humourous aproach to the challenge "Where you live" and the "be creative!" bit. I had fun making this picture and thats what it's all about for me. Hopefully someone will like it.

Peace love and home for the less fortunate homeless people.

Can't believe I didn't lock on to the MP link. I REALLY AM SO FUCKING SORRY.

You were lucky, our dad would thrash us to sleep wi't belt, then we had to get up 5 hours before we went to bed and lick road clean wi't tongue...

I was away and didn't enter or vote this challenge. This would very likely have been in my top 5 favorites. I like everything about it.

That's a bad bit of home building! As I always say - location, location, location!

You are obviously quite deranged! :)

Hope you didn't leave the girl and dog in the road for very long. An interesting idea but kind of dangerous.

Perhaps if the car wasn't in the background and the picture was cropped on the left hand side???

Title a little complicated, and the picture could use a little more DOF, but a very good idea.

Monty Python fan huh? Cool.
I don't think the picture is visually outstanding at all.
But I do like the idea, being a MP fan myself

this shot freaks me out... you've done a good job in creating an emotional reaction on my part. (I hope you got them out of the road right after taking the shot!)

The passing vehicle adds impact as does the splashing water. You models should have been well paid for this shoot!
