Weekly Photo Contest: 20-27 November, 2017 - "Well Worn"

[AZhappyjack]

This week's theme is "Well Worn".

I have always appreciated "old things" - those items that we have owned, used or seen that have served us well over the years, but are now past their prime period of usefulness ... a worn out tool, an old shoe, your favorite easy chair, or something similar. The objective is not just to photograph old things, but to capture the vintage quality in photographic context.

• The photographs must be your own work.
• Be creative and have fun.
• You may only submit one photo per contest.
• Please do not comment on photos until after the judging has taken place.
• The contest runs for one week, starting NOW! (see time/date stamp at the start of this thread.)
• At the end of the week, The Judge (last week's Winner) will choose a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place photo, providing as much feedback as possible.
• The 1st place Winner will start a new thread with the topic/theme of their choice, and act as the Judge for that contest. (Winner has 48 hours to create new theme, after that it defers to 2nd place).

Upgraded the 27" in our kitchen to the same 21.5" 4K and yes Bubble Guppies looks awesome of netflix...

Sad thing is I can remember using shillings as 10p and 5p coins! Also when we used ha'pennys (although the much smaller one).
£1 notes to!
I think physical cash will all be gone in a generation.

I remember the old currency - the good thing about it was that thinking in twelves helped the mental arithmetic quite a lot. Same as using imperial instead of metric measurements.

I do plan to be physically around next generation myself, just to be able to give you lot more grief

Cheers

I wouldn't have it any other way!

But I recall the coinage but not predecimisation. That's a bit before my time!

More like, 'Why are you still using that old Nikon?'
