It's something new we have been trying out. We are wanting to create community engagement, and recognize our community members for their awesome talents and places they visit.

Fantastic idea to generate original content.

Thank you for your feedback, we are hoping that it really takes off.

+1 for the importance of community engagement. This is how you build a community anywhere, especially on Lemmy. And when you build an awesome community, our feeds fill with good content that helps us keep people interested in the Lemmy federation.

Loved this one! Very awesome even though I can’t stand the aesthetics of his movies

I am a big fan of this shot, as well. Really makes me want to visit and fly into that airport.

By posting your OC photo it is automatically in the running. The photo that has the highest up votes for the week is selected each week on Friday.

That is a great pic!

Thanks, I'm really honored!

I unfortunately had to create a new account, as lemmy.one seems to have gone down for the count. :(

[–] Alchemy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is a great shot! I updated the post and title to reflect your new account on Lemmy.world.

[–] numlok@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Much appreciated!

Heh. I live in Bishop, and never really thought of the baggage claim at the airport as particularly Wes Anderson-esque, but I suppose it is, if you frame the photo in this way…. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
