Ready To Urk ...

Ready To Urk ...
This one is dedicated to all my friends in the Sunday Challenge group where the ability to urk, for some at least, has become an art form.

It's actually a macro shot of the street sign for Turker Lane in Northallerton just carefully framed, cropped and tweaked.

EDIT: I should have explained that it's a running joke amongst group members. For example, if you really don't fancy a particular challenge you might say urk, which is probably much better than some of the alternatives!

However, as Urk is actually a real place which can be found in the Flevoland province of the central Netherlands I should say no offence intended to the good people of Urk ... I'm sure it's a lovely town!

I just realized in Finnish language there are numerous words with urk within them =D

For example: turkki, purkki, kurkku, Turku, urku, kurkata, nurkka, purkka, purkaa...
