From the most sophisticated suitcase to the bundle on your shoulder, from gear strapped to a motorcycle to bags on top of buses, what matters is capturing travel with luggage. Whether it's a stroll, an expedition, a simple outing, or a tour—anything goes, as long as the luggage is highlighted, of course 🙂
...........
Here’s my copy-paste:
Every VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Tuesday, March 25 at 11:59 PM Paris time.
Each photo should be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3).
Don’t forget to add a little explanation (commentary, location, etc.).
Voting:
Every VF member can vote for the 3 photos they think are the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Wednesday, March 26 to Sunday, March 30 at 11:59 PM Paris time.
Photos will be ranked in order of preference:
- 1st photo: 3 points
- 2nd: 2 points
- 3rd: 1 point
The winner is the person whose photo receives the most points.
I’ll be away during the last days of March and won’t be very available, so the results will be announced on April 1st (no, it’s not a joke). And please, while I’m gone, be as well-behaved and disciplined as you always are 🙂
In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide.
The winner will have the honor of organizing April’s contest.
Attila, could you please put together the slideshow? You know how to do it, and I don’t!!

On the way to the Fortress of Louisbourg (Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia).
In the 18th century, people headed to work with bundles under their arms or over their shoulders.

Oh dear! I put 2 L's in the ladies' backpacks!
Maybe so they'd seem lighter ?
..........
I just checked: both spellings are accepted, except I think the word looks ugly with 2 L's and of course I can't edit it anymore.

We’re heading off for 4 months by motorcycle—all our gear has found its place, from the tent to the band-aids!

Washington State. Colville. Is there still a little space in all this mess for a few groceries?
