This week we're going to keep it simple and do just one thing: take a picture outside.

Leave the sweaty confines of your basement and embrace the glory of the elements.

Show us the sun illuminating that Solaro suit. Reveal how that double-breasted, 30oz tweed overcoat shields you from the blizzard. You get the idea

Please wear a suit or tailored jacket, the rest is up to you.

Entries will close midnight Sat 24 September.

Well I've been visiting an industrial textile company in the south of France yesterday, 2h30 driving in the mounts of Ardeche. The road was pretty hard, and I was alone, so difficult to take some good pictures, but I attempted...

By chance, my husband and I had an al fresco dinner this evening, downtown, at a restaurant in Battery Park City, and he was kind enough to do a few pix, so, unexpectedly, I have an entry for this week's challenge.

Hmmm....only a handful of entries so far, only 6 hours until the deadline, and I'm travelling.

So I will submit a photo from a month or two ago.

I quite like that second picture, Señor Crust


Thank you, Shugs. It was tricky to get the shots, as my husband's timing was in sync with the waiter bringing us our food :).
