		<title>Power to the People - Post One/Comment One - NO invite needed</title>
		<link>http://www.flickr.com/groups/pttp/</link>
 		<description>Energy and power are the buzz words of today. But power and energy - their production, conversion, transmission and use, provide endless opportunities for the photographer, from the microscopic to the mega. This group is intended to give the chance to display the results of some of those opportunities.

It is NOT about political power, or economic power, or even transport as such - if you put in a shot of your car it probably won't get in, but an engine/motor or a gasoline pump just might!

REMEMBER - POST ONE, COMMENT ON ONE

Many thanks to Wildcardoet for activating the group's codes - I'm too thick to do it.  JJ


This started with two photos from two friends, uploaded independently and both titled
&amp;quot;POWER TO THE PEOPLE&amp;quot;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurassic_john/3140774823/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3203/3140774823_23bdb34ae5_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;180&quot; alt=&quot;Power to the people&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hello, my name is Steve. I'm a 58 year old ex-pat from Manchester now living in San Antonio TX.  I work for an asset tracking company and my job has me travelling a lot. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was originally a Sparky on Super Tankers then worked for a company called Babcock Bristol down mines and in power stations.  I don't have any photos from that period but have never lost my interest in power generation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I just enjoyed looking through the photos posted here in this group, some amazing work.  I'm happy to have found y'all. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Steve&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Hi I'm Claire. Thanks for inviting me, had no idea there was a group like this so my pic was well named and it didnt really have a place to go on flickr until now. I'm new to photography and will look at powerlines in a new light instead of muttering about them getting in the way. A very interesting group&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;We're starting our first competition - subject:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DAMS AND HYDROELECTRIC POWER&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Entries will be limited to 25 posted in this thread because both Generators' eyes become detached from their brains if they are expected to look at more than 25 images in a row.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rules:&lt;br /&gt;
1) All entries must be in the group pool - DON'T POST HERE BEFORE BEING ACCEPTED IN THE GROUP POOL.&lt;br /&gt;
2) Poster's original work only&lt;br /&gt;
3) One entry per member - members only&lt;br /&gt;
4) Post in MEDIUM size - we want a good look.&lt;br /&gt;
5) Number each entry following the previous one - e.g. #1, #2 and so on&lt;br /&gt;
6) Entrants are committed to vote in the final judging or their entries will be invalid - all other members are permitted and encouraged to vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember - first 25 only! And in any case we will finish on 31 March (because I've got the glimmering of a dastardly idea!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happy posting!    JJ&lt;/p&gt;</description>
