Welcome to the last round of the #POBPhotocontest for this year. I'm going for a short holiday break between christmas and new year.
Coincidentally this is the 100th round of the #POBPhotocontest!
Because this is an anniversary edition there is no theme. You can decide what you want to photograph.
There is only one additional rule; it has to be a recent photo, so nothing from your archive.
I would like you to go out and take photographs!
Tell us about your photo and especially why you like it.
So grab your camera and have some fun!
Ecency Christmas Challenge
Apart from the weekly #POBPhotocontest I would like to share another challenge that 
When you join the #POBphotocontest or one of the other contests (Shadow Hunters, Three Tune Tuesday, Feathered Friends and Liotes Mission) you can win a nice extra prize (Hive & Ecency points)!

About the POBPhotocontest
The #POBphotocontest is a weekly photography contest with a different subject every week. It runs from Sunday until next Sunday (8:00 PM CEST).
My intension is to make this contest accessible for everyone; from experienced photographers with professional cameras to beginners shooting with their phone camera. Everyone can join!
Every week you can create a blog post for this contest with at least one photo that that meets the subject of that week. That photo needs to be the first photo in the post.
Although it is allowed to use a photo from your archive it is more fun to go out and shoot new photographs.
Your photo should tell a story by itself, but also write something about your photo or photo's in your post. Share some background information about the subject, location or techniques you used and why you submitted this photo for the contest.
Don't forget to set #pobphotocontest as one of the tags] of your posts since that is the way I can find all the submitted photos.
You can also put your photo with a link to your post in the comments of this post.
The contest ends next Sunday 8:00 PM CEST.
I will personally judge the photos and select 3 winners based on both the quality and originality of the photo and the additional information in the blog post itself.
The winners will receive POB tokens and Ecency points.
