u3a Eye runs a rolling photography project to encourage members to take and submit pictures of their surroundings. They post a different theme bi-monthly and invite members to submit their photo on that topic. 

"This is not a competition and it is not only about your photographic skill â€“ they are looking for any interesting photos and interpretations of the theme.  Anything which has captured your imagination or caught your eye. 

At the end of every deadline, the u3Eye team choose and publish up to 15 photos in the online gallery"

The photos below have been submitted by group members to u3aEye, and selected for publication online
