I challenged everyone to make a collage July 2013 and it was so well received and many of you indicated that you missed this challenge and would to like to participate.
As indicated earlier last year, I am very proud of my country Canada, I live in the Province of Ontario and I know that you are proud of your country where you live as well.
Challenge:
Post your favourite photos of your country, province, state, city or territory which may include: your favourite landscape, people, place or thing from your country in a collage of 6 photos or similar display of 6 photos as seen below, of your country or your province or state or territory. TAG: mycountrycollage3 and post on this discussion as well.
You have until Sunday, February 2, 2014 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time, at which time 5 collages will be selected by Tuesday, February 4, 2014 and posted for you to vote on your 1st choice. Remember to TAG: mycountrycollage3 and post here.
Really enjoyed it last time Catherine I'm going to have a search through and see if I have some new shots to make up another one. Thanks for organising.
@justaspark It'll be a nice break from your studies. Clear you head so to speak. But don't forget to get back to the books. Looking forward to your collage.
@cathrinemitch Thank you For bringing this back,Catherine.My "The Real New Jersey" won last time so I will sit this one out....but maybe we can keep the challenge going with different themes for collages?For example the winner of this challenge could select the topic for the next challenge..my pets...my family..my favorite things....my job...whatever?
@mzzhope I like that Hope sounds like fun, I really felt drawn to your thought "My Favourite Things". Hope would you like to select the top "5" for this challenge. We can communicate through email. Let me know.
All these photos were taken within a two week period in my village, Westonzoyland on the Somerset levels. We're suffering with flooding atm and the rain keeps on coming and coming!!
Yes. Thanks Cathy. I was going through some photos trying to decide what I would use. I will try to get on to it later today. I have to pop out to get some things for Danbo....watch my album :)
@lizranger what a fabby sail thingy on that building! I want one now! However not sure it would look so cool on a red wooden house in the countryside of Sweden...LOL
@cathrinemitch What a great idea! I am currently living in Ontario too....have been on lots of trips over the past year, so will have to dig out good selection. Such a beautiful province....I'm sure I'm going to struggle to choose the best 6 photos and places!
@mlulu191 Megan you collage of your state and country is fabulous, I especially love the silhouette. Would you have time to make a collage of 6 as this is one of the criteria. Thank you.
@homeschoolmom Lisa, love West Virginia photos, I'm drawn to the waterfall magnificent. I am hoping you would have time to create on with 6 photos as this is a criteria. These shots are fabulous.
This what I posted on the 6 January 2014....I have been travelling the east coast of Australia since 2009. Now living in Cairns for over 2 years and about to head off again in March.
@zzzimmerman Lenny to display the collage on this page just copy the little window beside the (copy & paste) on the right side of your page. Hope this helps. Let me know.
@leestevo So beautiful love to travel there one day. Lee-Ann I noticed you posted 7 pics is it possible and do you have the time to post 6 as this is a challenge criteria. Thanks
@k1w1 Christine, love your pics, I especially love Prince Edward County as this is so close to my heart driving to see my Mother and Father on the weekends. Wonderful collage.
@vfox Bellville is down the road a little bit...about 2 1/2 hours maybe. I'm in Guelph but I do travel around a bit :) I love Prince Edward County, Kingston areas.
@k1w1 2.5hrs is pretty close by Canadian standards ;-) I haven't yet been to Guelph. I'm very lucky to have Prince Edward County practically on my doorstep, although slightly less accessible at this time of year. Must do my collage!
@vfox Victoria: Cathy @cathrinemitch is in between us. We get together as often as we can. Cathy is planning a trip to Guelph some time soon. Do you want us to keep you in the loop? There is also going to be a group trip to Niagara Falls area but that will not be until the Spring some time now.
@k1w1 Yes, that would be great if you can keep me in the loop! Transport is sometimes an issue for me (share a car with the BF so always juggling schedules!) but would love to meet up if I can.
Here's mine, followed your advice Cathrine and did it on Fotor, very easy and no downloading, wish I knew about it earlier.
Have really enjoyed looking at everyone else's too.
Here's my offering for 'England'. Really difficult to get it down to 6 shots, and I haven't got any gritty urban ones among them, but all are photos I've taken since joining 365, and I haven't posted any before.
@cooperperich@lindacarol If you go to the page the collage is on you will see a code on the right hand side under the share section. Just copy and paste it into here. The image itself won't appear until you press the Post Reply button.
@cathrinemitch Hi Cathrine...I fixed my collage and now its 6 pics. This is such a good idea especially for the beginner and/ or who started 365. Most of the competition are pretty advanced or daunting. Hopefully we can continue with these collages for different themes of your country/ city etc.
@leestevo Lee-Ann this is the third one. I posted 2 last year and yes everyone as ask too continue with different themes. All suggestions welcomed for the next one.
@cooperperich Well done Wendy but I noticed you forgot to tag the photo to:
mycountrycollage3 let me know if you need any help. Great shots and collage display.
Great entries!! Good luck on choosing, the hardest part. My entry is all about fun :-) I hope you read the captions on the photos for the full story!
Good luck to everyone, these are so much fun to look at, and I want to visit your countries!
These are all so gorgeous. Hope it's OK to tag one I did to round off 2013. All taken in my home city of Cambridge. The weather has been really un-photo-friendly since but I am challenging myself to get out in the city over the next three days.
Although I now live in Canada New Zealand will always be home :)
This is in the area where I lived until 12 years ago. I was home for a visit with family and friends in March/April 2013 and these images were all taken then.

I live in New Zealand, south island...am a newbie so seeing if I can upload this!
There are some beautiful collages here but please remember that it states in the challenge that it must contain 6 photos. I got burned last time when it was 9 photos and I had the wrong number cause it looked better with the number of photos that I had :) Off to create something now. I LOVE the ones posted so far. I'm glad it's not me selecting the finalists :)
ta dahhhh..a snapshot of where I live. You are all welcome to visit of course!
Valencia, Spain
Glad you like it, I love it.
Where we currently live, fabulous New England:
The fun sights of Indianapolis, IN, where we lived before we moved to New Hampshire:
And finally, the St. Louis Metro Area where we lived for 18 years (still feels like home):

Surprising lack of rain in these shots but rest assured it rains a lot here :)
I tried out Fotor Photo Collage's free online editor after learning about it in this thread. I heart it! ; P
