Here's how it works!
Post one photo taken from your phone, as an attachment, on this thread.
At the end of each month, a new thread will be made allowing you to vote for your winner!

Notes:
1) Your post and attached image will not show up straight away - we check each entry first.
2) You can only enter one picture each month.
3) All pictures must be taken with a 3G phone during the month of September 2006 - you can state which phone you used if you wish, but technical quality is unimportant. As such, reducing the size of your photo is fine provided no 'photoshopping' is performed. Infact, with mobile phone cameras generating increasingly large files you are encouraged to slightly reduce the dimensions of your snaps and Windows users can do this using Stretch/Skew in Microsoft Paint.
4) The winners poll will now be a public vote - you can't vote for yourself!

Good luck, enjoy it!

Well I might as well get us started! Taken on my 6680 on the highest resolution setting, I'm just above a town called Lendalfoot, (http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=215000.261121784&Y=590000.437819138&width=700&height=400&gride=213067.261121784&gridn=590034.437819138&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=freegaz&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=true&zm=0&out.x=5&out.y=10&scale=100000) which is on the west coast of Scotland looking out onto the Irish sea at Ailsa Craig, which is the lump of rock you can see on the horizon :)

Not to be outdone, this is Thrope Park's latest and greatest ride "Stealth", a 200ft loop, acceleration 0 to 80 in 2 seconds - breathtaking and exhilerrating. Paddi Pants available at the entrance :D

Well, if you two can do it, I can do it better!

Six silver cars in a row, snapped on my N80. It really was the most comical convoy. Sorry to all of you who insist on having silver cars :D (image cropped)

Thai school kids on an outing to the Grand Palace in Bangkok. Like everyone else in Thailand on a Monday they're all wearing yellow as a mark of respect for the King. Taken on my N73 . It's picked up the amazing colours of the place quite well.

Been there!
It's an amazing place.

Not entered for a while and my photo opportunities are very all or nothing... Mused partially over submitting a pic of the hilarity that was Sainsbury's seasonal aisle with Halloween and Christmas products side by side in mid September... *sighs*

Anyway, had to go with my birthday gettaway, N70 as usual (although starting to feel a bit behind the times now!). And no, it isn't blackpool :)

Taken on my recent travels. Mt Ruapehu (http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/338/317600038137521/1600/Mt%20Ruapehu.jpg) is on New Zealand's north island and I'm lead to believe that it's an active volcano.

Edit:
Couldn't figure out how to insert a photo! and it was too big to attach, hence the reason for the link. But is has been taken by my N80, can't remember the settings.

Give it another go, that picture you've linked to is well within size restrictions.

Giant Finger holding up the leaning tower of Pisa.
Snapped this while on my way to an Ultimate Frisbee beach tournament in Tuscany.
Taken on my N80 and shrunk (unsurprisingly) using the shrink function.

Hopefully not too late to post this as it was taken on the last day of september.

This is the old Ballantines distillery in dumbarton, taken 30 yards from last weeks submission ( different times ).

The large mound to the right of the building is a 40 odd foot high pile of crushed building.
