So, last minute work, my entry's in. The Funnel.

In Frankfurt's City Centre is a new shopping centre called "My Zeil", Zeil being the name of the main pedestrian shopping area in the centre of Frankfurt. A lot of people were annoyed at the name - why it should have been in english, but also at the futuristic architecture which of course cost a fortune.

Please - no worries. You could've left it for another day  ;D

I was looking good for a win until Friday - now look at the competition.

Getting all bitchy with these great images - and we've still not seen 'Oldboys' submission...

Just posted it. Had a bit of trouble selecting one, as I've posted quite a few before and didn't want to repeat the same shots. Also, had to delete some shots as I've reached the limit and it wouldn't let me post.  :'(

I've posted the poll early and locked it till I get back tonight. Additional entries will be added later.

I see it expires at 6:52 on Friday  >:( I was hoping it would count from when the poll gets unlocked. If it doesn't reset them I'm sure someone in the know will put it right. :tup:

A few more entries this week which is always nice to see  ;D
