I would have liked to participate, but couldn't do for lack of time. Yet, if you do not know this splendid group, take a look at its galleries. You will not waste your time!

Winners of the Brothers Grimm contestYou know, I was surprised at the previous contest, where we had double first place and double second place, so nothing else could surprise me again, but it's quite funny that now we have double second place and double third place. Which means that about 290 lazy people here could spent this one minute and vote - it's a shame that for over 320 members we got only 30 votes. Really, shame on the lazy ones :invisible:
Congratulations to all the 6 winners - don't forget about the distinction, of course. Many thanks for those who kindly donated the prizes and/or voted, and for all those who entered! +1 in being active (:

believing themselves strong, as they stretch toward the sun -
before the wind breaks their stalks, and they fall
defeated, drained, limp upon the ground;
crushed and forgotten as tears.
But no, I was summer -
when I looked into your eyes for the first time
and forgot to curse the sun.

I should have done this kind of thing before, and surely will do so again...
To accompany the pictures, here is just the kind of music to go with it:
