Gates, doors, windows, alleyways, deep holes, little sneaky openings into horrible nothingness, you get the idea? Entrances. Not descriptions, not statuary, trees, not wine glasses, fences, not signs, not celery.
Entrances.
To.
Hell.
Inspired by one gorgeously particular Entrance in Newcastle-upon-Tyne UK. Examples and ideas in abundance on this external website.
Post these pictures. We all have them in our photostreams, but make more.
Make them scary, make them horrible. Make them so very aweful and nasty you can hardly take their photograph without a stiff one. And when all the hairs stand up on the back of your neck, and you are shivvering and it isn't even cold, and then you stifle that ssssscream...
SHOOT!
Then breathe gently out and post that picture here.
Oh and Another Thing.
NO SQUARED CIRCLES.
These have been variously described as delicious, gorgeous, heavenly, scrumptious and, most heinous of all - buttons! As such they immediately and intrinsically disqualify themselves. Even a deep dark horrible hole, if it is perfectly round and cropped to a square, will be removed. No messing, no appeals.
No mercy.
