2014 - June - Ruins, cemeteries and ghostly places
[edit]The second new challenge of June incorporates related themes of ruins, cemeteries and ghostly places including ghost towns and reportedly haunted locations.
Ideally, each submission should contain a summary description of the subject in the file information, including the location of the subject, and relevant categories should be added to the files to enable other Commons users to find them and use them. Please avoid unnecessary safety risks, e.g. going to isolated places alone.
The challenge will remain open for submissions throughout June UTC.
Checklist for this theme:
- Photographs must be the work of the nominator.
- Photographs must be newly uploaded to Commons during the challenge submission period i.e. June 2014 (but may have been taken earlier).
- Submissions must be added to the bottom of the Entries section below.
- Category:Photo challenge/2014 - June - Ruins, cemeteries and ghostly places must be added to all submissions. -- HelenOnline 15:57, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
