* H.P. Lovecraft - The Call of Cthulhu, Necronomicon, cosmic horror and weird fiction.

* Hack Springwatch - TV show Springwatch is asking for photos of birds nesting in unusual places. Provide them.

* Iconic photos - what happened next? As demonstrated here.

# one of the problems with this cthulhu type thing
is that often those type of compos require actual drawing skills. I can't draw for shit but i'm OK at photoshop, so I'll probably just end up photoshopping crap like freebase all week.
Maybe it's the reason why images challenges like the past week's one work well.

or maybe it's just me...
