After 2 days of voting, a winner is declared: The voting will close on: Wed, Jan 13, 2021 11:00 PM.
The winner picks the theme for next week.
If the winner doesn’t supply a theme before Thursday 22:30 GMT, the organizer will select the theme. In this case, the winner’s theme will be used the next time we are lacking a theme on Thursday 22:30 GMT. 
Having selected the theme, the winner will not be eligible to enter that week. They may however still submit an image, but it won’t be included in the voting.

Non-competing Entries

• Helge: Morning Dew
(+0.32 %) (evocative), 2Rock’s AI Drone179-Terraform potential-1770/Z9 (lovely, the title gives it punch), Victor2’s Rocks with erosion and drying lake in the sunlight (the lighting’s messing with me on this, I can’t figure out why), Tohron’s Galaxy Rise (beautifully desolate), rigoletto’s Spark of hope (poignant), CharlieDoesBlender’s Watching the World End (appreciation of destruction’s beauty), and j_claytonhansen’s Aerial Recon in the Mudlands (like the simplicity of the style).
