Enjoy the great variety of the photos. Choose your three favourites, and let's aim for a record number of voters for this month's competition. Thanks to all who have entered photos, and thanks in advance for voting and supporting the competition.

Great thanks to June, who prepared this wonderful poll!

Enjoy the many and various pictures, and let us have your votes please :) .

They are a good way of making the photographers smile, after having looked for and entered suitable photos, enriching our Gallery as they do so. Enjoy the pictures and the memories!

Difficult choice to choose just three favourites.  Who would have thought that there would be so many photos of QE2 animals !

Apologies for not voting as soon as I usually do; I have been unavailable since Monday until just now.

Surprisingly, I found it easier than I expected to choose three pictures this month...

We are half-way through the month now (already!), and so far, 6 people have voted.

Hoping for many more votes as the time draws near when the 2025 calendar is compiled :) .

Hello all, actually voted before the last day of the month,  my last vote was a bit selfish insofar as Devo the assistance dog reminds me so much of Jess, my constant companion this last12 months, not a replacement for dear Jim, but a compliment. (took a shot like this of Jim).
  Enough of me , I never saw an assistance dog or otherwise on QE2, I honestly didn't know Cunard obliged --good on em.....

It was an interesting collection of photos. When Katharina suggested the theme, she was hoping to see many pictures of animals in the QE2 kennels. I had never seen any animals on board, and was also looking forward to the relevant pictures. But in the end, none came forward.

I wonder whether any of us have ever seen animals in the QE2 kennels (whether or not we took photos of them)?
