Only a few days left...

The meeting point is at Coffee Company (Noordeinde 54, 2514 GK Den Haag) at 10am.

@ Anthony, Frank, John: are you still joining the race next Saturday?
Anyone else interested to join? it's still possible. 

@ Bent: great to do the race in Copenhagen too.
Will you post the themes here, so it is possible to "participate", I remember that the pictures shall uploades in a new section, pls make a new post with all the rules  :)
I have not made any arrangements for meetings as nobody has responded, but I could just make my own contribution  ;)

The first photo race is getting closer and closer.
We have also thought about those of you who couldn't attend but would like to participate in your surroundings.
Hence, we will be opening threads with the themes as we draw them.
The first two themes will be drawn and published in the morning, while the other two around lunch on Saturday 12 August.
You are encouraged to post up to 3 images per theme. The deadline for posting will be noon the following day. Then we will open up the polls for voting.

All comments and suggestions are welcome.

Jan Anne, do join us for dinner, there will be fireworks on display in Scheveningen.
Apart from the fireworks, I heard that the Biggest and Brightest Meteor Shower in History is About to Take Place on that day:

Now all we need are cloudless skies :)

Today the four musketeers roamed through The Hague.
I will post all images here that don't belong in the challenges as will the rest I hope :)

The Hague is celebrating 100 years of the Mondriaan abstract and non-figurative art.
