SEPTEMBER GALLERY -
People Watching

The theme for September was chosen by a vote among those CDP bloggers willing to participate in the Face Book group page. The choices were:
People Watching
Road Works, or
Window Boxes.
People Watching was the run-a-way favourite.

Interpret this however you choose. There is no right or wrong response. However, I do encourage you to visit other contributors, let's say 10 others. One way of doing this is to visit each other contributor with the same digit as your contribution, eg if you are contributor 43 then visit every other contributor with a three in the final column. Alternatively, visit the other contributors in your set of 10, eg if you are contributor 43, then visit those from 40 to 49.

The City Daily Photo Blog (CDPB) portal is no longer available to us. Keep in touch via Eric Tenin's Facebook CDPB page, and if you wish, link your Theme Day post here for ease of tracking what others are posting. Gerald England also has a very comprehesive listing of active CDP blogs. Contact Gerald if you wish to have your City Daily Blog listed.

When this Linky List asks you for the 'name or label' of your entry, please enter your name and your location, eg Julie, Sydney Au.

To enable you to visit as many CDPB bloggers as possible, these entries will retain their order for the duration of the Theme. This facility opens at 9:30pm on Friday 31st August, and closes at 9:30PM on Thursday 6th September. Enjoy!

This is another beautiful image. Both sad and uplifting.

Re. the portal, I do understand that it's probably very hard work but it was such a fabulous way of seeing thumbnails one liked and discovering new blogs...

Thanks again, Julie, for keeping it together for this community!

An hour to go folks and then this linky closes. The very pleasing thing is that there are quite a few who contributed here who are NOT part of the FB group. So ... well done you for susing us out.

I will sort all the contributors out and ensure I have a list for the October Theme Day.
