August Contest Thread: Those Meddling Kids!

Helen Highwater: Feb 19, 2014; And furthermore; Grimey Drawer

Hello everyone, I am noted forums poster Helen Highwater and I won the last contest thread with this image. I'd like to thank my friends for being good at tying people up and for being good at being tied up (which I learned is actually a skill that you need to develop if that's your thing).

August is the month of holidays and spending time away from the office while you top up your sunburn on some foreign beach. To that end, this month's theme is Getting Away. You can interpret that however you like.

RULES:
This thread is for posting pics & voting.
1. One submission/poster. 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 favourites!
4. Contest will be open until [at least] the last day of the month at 11:59 p.m. GMT 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 good judgment/good taste if venturing into NSFW or potentially offensive territory. PM me or a mod if you have questions.
7. When voting, please use the spoiler tag.

I or the mods reserve the right to amend the rules if needed.
