Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2023 voting is open!

2022 Picture of the Year: Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) and Gadwall (Mareca strepera) in Nepal.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2023 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighteenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2023) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 14 October 2024, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Arganda del Rey

Hola Draceane. Vi que hace unos días nos cruzamos a cuenta de los silos de cemento en tu tierra natal ;)

Te escribo por un tema industrial. He visto que subiste fotos de Arganda del Rey y, como estoy reorganizando/impulsando la categoría industrial de la Comunidad de Madrid, quería saber si de aquella época tuvieses otras fotos de carácter económico/industrial de Arganda. Gracias de antemano. Saludos cordiales CFA1877 (talk) 19:22, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Hola @CFA1877: Gracias por escribir de nuevo. En el año 2016 solo estuve en Arganda dos veces: una vez en la planta asfáltica y la segunda en La Poveda, caminando junto al ferrocarril de Tajuña. He subido todas las fotos de estas ocasiones. Solo me falta subir (en la Comunidad de Madrid) una foto de la planta de cemento de Villaluenga de la Sagra. Por casualidad, viajaré a Madrid a principios de noviembre. Si tengo oportunidad, seguramente sacaré fotos de lugares industriales (mi carrera profesional se centra en el diseño y la construcción de puentes, que es un ámbito que me interesa tanto a nivel profesional como a nivel aficionado). Un saludo — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 20:26, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh, la histórica fábrica de Asland en Villaluenga de la Sagra, qué bien. Ya que lo mencionas, te comento que al lado pasa un ferrocarril industrial del cual apenas si hay fotos en Commons, como tampoco de la estación frente a la fábrica. Y ojo, que es un ferrocarril que tiene todavía en servicio auténticas piezas de arqueología industrial, como esta señal mecánico y el cableado de acero para accionarla. Debo decir que del pueblo de Villaluenga y de la estación de Villaluenga-Yuncler tampoco hay muchas fotos. En fin, lo pongo en tu conocimiento. Si te da margen para dejar algunas fotos, serán muy agradecer (con mucho gusto ayudaré en la categorización si necesitas ayuda). CFA1877 (talk) 02:06, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

P.D.: Ya que lo mencionas...por esa zona no hay muchos puentes, salvo uno de cierto tamaño que cruza el Tajo y que te traerá recuerdos respecto al puente de La Poveda. Pertenece a este ferrocarril industrial que te comentaba, en su prolongación hasta el sur (Algodor). Saludos. CFA1877 (talk) 02:12, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Wowǃ Das war ja ein gerader Durchmarsch. Nochmals Dankeǃ Gruß -- Bwag (talk) 18:12, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

PSː Welche Chance gibst du demː [1]? -- Bwag (talk) 18:16, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

@Bwag: Yes, I was also (positively) surprised, how unanimous the support was.

I really love the photo, go ahead with a nomination! (I was there five years ago and it's one of my favourite architectural monuments in Wien). — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 20:28, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Vor 5 Jahren? Da wird es eh Zeit, dass du dir Wien wieder einmal anschaust. ;-) Bezüglich Nomination. Normalerweise mache ich mich bei so etwas rar, aber ein zweites FP wäre nicht schlecht - vielleicht mach ich es doch morgen. ;-) Gruß -- Bwag (talk) 20:50, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
