11. Mechanical Things

This category isn't really hard to fill really, it is just hard to find pictures of mechanical things when you are trying to espace from it all. So here are my two pictures for this category, both a little forced in my opinion.

The fan is mechanical - it has gears and runs on electricity.

10. Time Passing

A tricky category to say the least. I could of course play the "see number 8." card as technically that is two pictures of the same sand castles (the second just had some additions put onto the property), but let's see what else I have shall we.

5. Drift Wood

There is definitely no limit to the drift wood along the beaches of Lake Erie. I have more than one shot to fill this category for sure, but I will keep it short - promise.

The traditional drift wood covered in algae and other great lake 'stuff'.
