***MAY Photo Contest--Preliminary Thread 1***
The THEME for the MAY PHOTO Contest is: Sacred/Inspirational Places/Spaces. It was chosen in honor and memory of those who have been victims of hate crimes in their houses of worship, or for the loss of those structures due to arson, bombing, accidental fire, or acts of nature. This is not about religion, but about the freedom to choose among the diverse ways we connect our souls to our families, our communities, our past and our yearning for meaning in life.Photographers were given freedom to submit photos of structures or open spaces that provide a sense of the sacred or serve as inspiration.
This is Thread 1 of 3 Preliminary threads.

(June will be devoted to our SPRING seasonal contest.)
