Entry is open for September on the theme of "Smooth"; shoehorns and crowbars permitted of course.
Remember, in case any of the recent new participants haven't studied the rules: entries must have been taken since the 1st December last year (2024), anything shot before that is not valid. Entries can be posted up to 23:59 on 30th September 2025, after which I will put up a poll for voting.

This thread is just for entries; any discussion is to be done in the Chat thread.

Smoooooth..

Smooooooth! by Donnie Canning, on Flickr

On an overnighter to Aldeburgh, Suffolk, trying out my new Boardy Kickscooter I came across this wall where the bricks been weathered over the years and people have been painting and decorating beach pebbles and putting them in the gaps. So for me, smooth pertains not only to the smooth pebbles but also to the smooth ride of my new scooter.
