I thought we would have some fun here in the Flash forum with our own photo assignments. The Strobist site frequently has challenges, and this one can be found here.

As this is a Strobist-themed contest, and posted in the Flash forum, you must use flash for your submissions! The purpose here is to learn and experiment with your speedlights. No studio lighting, please.For this assignment, you will be required to photograph a local object -- something of significance to your community. As with the first, the most difficult part of the job will be deciding exactly what to shoot -- and why.
Is your region famous for manufacturing something? Do the farmers there grow something that is enjoyed by people far and wide? Is there a physical touchstone or totem that symbolizes your community? A craft? A type of art? An item of historical significance?
Although, please keep the scale manageable. We are talking about an object here.
