Last month's theme was Shapes. There were many shapes posted. Good work, everyone!



I saw a building with shapes on it and I'm extremely literal-minded so I took a picture of that building. It won, and now you're stuck with me during the festive season.

This month's theme is Gravity. Get your entries in by December 31. Or maybe a little later, there's lots of vacations happening. Plus there's a ball dropping sometime around then, and that's gravity right?

RULES:
This thread is for posting pics & voting.
1. One submission/poster. Note that you can change your submission as many times as you want, so long as you only have one entry when the voting begins! Edit your post to do this, please.
2. Single photos only - no video, triptychs, or multi-photo entries. Blending exposures into a single image (such as focus stacking, or HDR), is ok though.
3. Photos must be taken during the period of the contest. No pulling out old favorites!
4. Contest will be open until the last day of the month at 11:59 p.m. EST after which voting will begin.
5. Voting will continue until some time after that, probably around midnight the evening of the 2nd or 3rd.
6. Use your best judgement/good taste when venturing into territory.
7. When voting, please deploy the spoiler tag.

I or SoundMonkey reserve the right to change the rules in case I missed something really oblivious that probably won't affect everyone.

Winner picks the next theme, and makes the new thread!

You had to fight a lot of gravity to go up there. I’ll be damned if I was gonna do that.

Don’t get how a selfie fits this month’s theme, but whatever!

My vote goes to TK because the photo is a good one and it fits the theme and I want to use up some space in this voting spoiler so that it's not obvious that it'a a vote for TK because the username is only two characters long. Anyway, that's my story, thanks for reading.

Qirex. Nailed the theme and the composition is very cool—dig those bold vertical lines.

25th floor of an office building, the crop did most of the work.
