Your pictures of 2009
Regular readers will know that each week, we ask you to send us your pictures on a set theme.
As the year draws to a close, I thought it would be a good idea to make a selection of those sent in during 2009 - and this would also give me an excuse to browse through many of the wonderful pictures you have submitted.
.
I'd also like to wish everyone a Happy New Year.
If you'd like to submit your photographs in 2010, you can find out how to do so .
The new theme is "Celebration". Interpret this in any way you see fit and send your pictures to us at yourpics@bbc.co.uk or .
Please include the word "Celebration" in the subject line of your message.
The deadline is midnight GMT Tuesday 5 January 2010, and remember to add your name and a caption: who, what, where and when should be enough, though the more details you give, the better your chance of being selected.
We will publish a selection of your photos this time next week.
.
Files should be sent as JPEGs. They shouldn't be larger than 10Mb and ideally much smaller: around 1Mb is fine, or you can re-size your pictures to 1,000 pixels across.
Please see our terms and conditions, but remember that the copyright remains with you. The pictures will only be used by the ´óÏó´«Ã½ for the purposes of this project. Finally, when taking photos, please do not endanger yourself or others, take unnecessary risks or infringe any laws.
