Challenge #9 Is Characters

[Kan Win]

Now I'm in the hot seat.

I'm going to go with 'Character'....as in a personality or building etc. I hope the challenge to bring an image alive and express what you can see satisfies the masses as a challenge.

Good luck all.

They certainly fit the criteria of "1. distinctive qualities: the set of qualities that make somebody or something distinctive"
