The competition theme for September is Tourism

I recently watched a Martin Parr documentary a few days ago, and have always been a fan of his life's work in this area, so why not do something along these lines...

Good luck!

The photos taken must be your own work.

The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.

The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for following month and judges it at the end of the month
Entries and discussion on a single thread, please.
All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.

Winners should update the Competition Wiki (it's easy).

Photos entered can be as large as you like, although bear in mind if too large, it may not be possible to see the whole image on some screens. Links to larger versions are permissible.

If after 7 days of a competition ending, either a winner has not been declared, or the winner has not created a new thread, a new thread should be started, with the topic set as whatever the topic was 10 years ago, based on this wiki.

Not the most original of shots, but it does show a bunch of tourists in varying forms of water craft.....

Quiet competition this month... I'm not likely to be doing any touristing before the end of the month so will enter an old one that fits the theme:

Got roped into being a guide for some out-of-town friends, all keen walkers and photographers. We must've done 10 miles on foot that day, and this is the only shot I took biglaugh



Still.. tourism. Tenuously.

Apologies everyone, late to this one.

After a slow start I think we had some cracking entries this month, which is great but also makes it very hard to judge.

But,

3rd place is....

Great colours, really liked this and the shadows.

2nd place is....

Minimalism which works for me.

1st place is....

Istanbul

This stood out to me, again I liked the minimalist look but the one person/candid tourist taking an image also - it wouldn't look out of place as a Martin Parr shot too.

So Fullook over to you.

Thanks everyone, some great photography.
