This is my submission into the three hundred-and-sixty-second Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Sports, Sporting Events and Fun Games“.

I took this photo specifically for the challenge. I wanted to get back on the bike during the week and planned to take a photo of it somewhere. That didn’t eventuate for many reasons – it has been a pretty full-on week – so I instead took a photo of part of the bike when I got home from work one day.

I feel this photo counts. It’s perhaps a little sad in the way the what is visible feels untouched for a while, but it’s still of something used for sport.

The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:

Tina

Patti

Ann-Christine aka Leya

John Steiner

Sofia Alves

Anne Sandler

Egídio

Ritva

Beth

This one is curated by Beth. The next one is curated by Anne.

I recommend joining the community and participating in the challenges. They’re pretty straightforward, allow room for interpretation, and provide a good way to think about photography in general. If not, however, then at the very least you should check out what others submit to the challenges.

I hope you enjoy.
