 Macros of a reddish grave stone with 300 years of lichen and weathering. I liked that it looked like an alien planet, thus my attempt at some humor on this one. 210 zoom

Humor is always a bit of a risk at DPC and thinking outside the box can be a punishable offense. The Yellow Shoehorn makes it all worth it.

A creative approach. I like it.

Added: This gets my yellow shoehorn, for injecting a little humor into a non-humorous challenge.
