own on their luck, @mr-bike, a once dapper young gentleman, decided to head into town to make a stop at @amariespeaks’ Studio Drac Torät. Studio Drac Torät is well known for creating realities for your manifestations.

Mr-bike entered the room, he was immediately encased by an aurora field as amariespeaks appeared from the shadows.

We are all energy, friend. For I see the truth. I see the flow all around. I see many things, but with you my friend, it is success! The destination is there, it is for you to follow the path. For you to show the people! What you believe determines what you make true.

Exiting the studio just as baffled as he entered. Mr-Bike walked down the street when all of sudden an IFO (Identified Flying Object) whizzed past stirring a tornado of dust and debris. Emerging from the cloud coughing dust out of the ears, he slowly gazed up as the cloud dispersed and a long forgotten store front, like an illusion, appeared before his eyes.

Hearing the voice of amariespeaks in his head “the destination is there.” Mr-Bike started to develop the vision of the path he needed to follow. Entering the abandoned store, to his shock everything inside was in mint condition from classic sculptures, to art framed in Earth Gold hanging along the entrance.

To his left, a beautiful gallery of framed photography of Cryptopia. Approaching a framed picture of a man, his vision started to blur. He blinked…Then blink again. No change. The framed picture had a caption on the bottom which started to disappear. Mr-Bike looked around the room and everything started to blur and vanish to the point of an empty abandoned place…

NO! NO! What’s happening!?

Mr-Bike collapses to the hard cold dirt floor as everything has left. Again hearing the voice of amariespeaks “What you believe determines what you make true.”

This is the vision! This is my path to success!

For his grand opening, the gallery showcase will be Photography of Cryptopia For the Community, By the Community

Catch Up Round!

Catch up rounds are designed to help new players or those who haven't won a round yet. So, you are not eligible to win this round if you have won a round already, but feel free to join in the fun!

This is a photography Quest!

To get ready for opening night at the Gallery Mr-Bike needs the help of the people of Cryptopia. You need to go out in the real world and capture your best picture(s)! Have fun and get creative! Please add a story/caption with the photography so we can add it to the opening night at THE GALLERY.

Original Photography Only! If you want, please include a handwritten tag with @ifc.

For this challenge.. If there's a tie.. We will do another round to see who wins.
The winner will be decided by whoever gets the most votes.
The only people who can vote in a qualifying sense are @apolymask and the judges selected and they will vote by leaving a comment on the submission that they like the most and say something like.. "I vote for this one" and a reason why they voted would be good too, but is not mandatory.

You have until this challenge post payout ends to submit your post. Though we do accept late entries if you get it in before all the judges vote.

The challenge will finish after 7 days when the post ends and provides its payout cycle and unless there is a tie, the winner will gain the steem, the XP and have a point to go towards their long term win. (minus the 25% for curation)

Next is @timcliff who has similarly helped out the contest significantly and who is also a witness who does a lot for the community, so likewise if you appreciate the efforts you may want to vote for him as witness also!

I'd also like to thank @theguruasia who has pledged at least 20 steem to the second and third place prizes and he said he may even donate more.

And @nxtblg who has been regularly resteeming and upvoting our challenges which has been a big help!

Plus one other person who has been helping a lot who deserves some credit is @soundlegion who has also been upvoting the contests regularly.

And while not technically sponsors, we are working with @davemccoy and those at #newbiegames and #newbieresteemday and they do a great service to the community so definitely check them out if you appreciate that, or if you're new.
