SUBMISSION THREAD: Autumn Photo Contest: What is your muse?

Welcome to DU's Autumn Photo Contest Submission thread. The theme of this month's contest is "What is your muse?". In this contest, the entries are open. Please submit all entries as replies in this thread.

Autumn is about change. Change can inspire. What inspires you?

What is your muse?

Here's a definition to work with:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/muse

Muse noun
....
2: a source of inspiration; especially : a guiding genius



The thread will be locked at 9PM EST, 11/01/2012, or as soon as 30 entries have been received. Preliminary Threads will be posted in GD the following day after 30 entries are received or by November 2nd.
**edit: We're going to let this run all day 11/02, feel free to submit a photo!

Please post comments in COMMENT THREAD, after I post it.


BASIC CONTEST/CHALLENGE RULES:
Only one entry per person. Please be sure to include a "Title" for your photograph in the Subject line of your entry. Only the first thirty (30) valid submissions received will be accepted.

Please keep your photograph entry no larger than 800 pixels in its longest dimension and under 250K in file size, unless otherwise designated by contest host. If you need help posting a photograph or with image sizing just ask.

Please do not use frames, except for a 1 or 2 pixel black frame to define white backgrounds.

Post-processing is permitted in the same tradition as processing techniques of print photography.

The contest host may alter the written rules at the beginning of their contest, and is the final arbiter of the rules and any issues that may arise.

The contest host may not enter their own photo contest, but may choose the theme in any manner they decide.

For monthly contests, the winner agrees to host the next contest (or recruit someone else to host the contest).

Be sure to read the following before you enter a photograph:

Neither Demopedia and/or a linked Gallery may use any photograph submitted for any purpose other than to display the photograph being submitted by the entrant, and neither gains any real or implied ownership rights to the photograph.

An entrant can disclaim this Contest License and retain all rights to the photograph. If an entrant wishes to disclaim the Contest License they must include the following statement in the post containing their photograph; "I disclaim the Contest License, and reserve all rights to my photograph" Any photograph submitted by an entrant with this disclaimer statement will not be copied and displayed in Demopedia and/or any linked Gallery.
