*December's theme is "Inside out"

That means, any photo taken from inside looking out. You could be in a house, tunnel, car, or anything that fits your fancy. One rule: you have to show that you are inside looking out by having the window frame, the hallway leading to an open door or window.

Submissions start Dec 8
