There's been some recent discussion about "appropriate" topics for the next challenge.  I'm thinking "Go Wide" when I read Blizzard's suggestion of Nude Self-Portraits and I'm thinking. . ."could still work."  Then the whole art vs snapshot debate came up and I'm thinking "art" 'nude self-portraits" "wide angle. . ."  

Decided to stick with just the wide angle part.  We spend a lot of time zooming in to focus on details.  Now it's time to step back and give the big picture.  

Here are some samples, all taken with an infrared filter, in black and white, in the rain.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
