Thank You and Last Call for Contest SubmissionOctober 13th, 2023

Hi Photo Walkers,

Sorry for not posting an update here earlier, partly because we had our discussions and photo posts in our WhatsApp group. Since I realise some of you may not be in that WhatsApp group, I’d just like to say thank you to all who participated in the photo walk last Saturday. Your participation is what makes these photo walks fun and exciting for everyone.

I’d just like to remind that the deadline for photo contest submission is at 11.59 am on Sunday, 15 October (US Eastern Time: 11.59 pm on Saturday, 14 October). You would have received a message from the organiser regarding the photo contest so please check.

Finally, see you all next year! Do keep a look out for it since it’s usually on the first Saturday of October.

Regards

Raja Indra Putra (Ripi)
