Seems everybody is pretty busy these days, so lets cut to the chase! This month's photo challenge lets see your photos of things that you might chase or that might chase you!
At the end of the month, we'll attach a one-week poll to this thread. The photographer that gets the most votes in the poll will be awarded with a free SitePoint eBook of his or her choice. In case of a tie, the winner will be decided by the content team.

I don't know about "chase" but you'd certainly run to catch it:

A perfect example! Other examples of something you chase ... a rainbow, a bus, something the wind catches, a ball you have missed catching. Things that might chase you... a dog, a car (if you are a car racer), a bicycler. Just remember, if you post a picture of a person, you must have their permission or that person must be not identifiable.

One of the definitions of chase, according to Webster's, is "to pursue eagerly", so I think these qualify.
Rupert is a wild seal living in the bay, which has successfully trained humans to catch fish for it.When a boat arrives in the harbour, Rupert "pursues eagerly", to see what today's catch might bring. (Rupert is the name the local fishermen gave the seal, before they realised it's a female.)
Anyway, here's Rupert coming to see what we caught:

gratefully accepting Gerry's fish:

and "eagerly pursuing" the part of the catch the humans were intending to hang on to.

If you're a bear made of mohair, ponder on the nature of a mo.
Absolutely stunning and charming. What a privilege it would be to live so near to such an engaging creature![FONT=Verdana]One of the definitions of chase, according to Webster's, is "to pursue eagerly", so I think these qualify.

Thank you.
Nah - she seems to be the one who's taught the humans to do tricks. She swims alongside and they all start throwing her fish.Did you teach her to do some tricks?Smart seal - why bother fishing when you can send the humans to do it for you?

I think I have both sides covered here - most people chase and most people are chased by!
Had to do a bit of "money laundering" on the coins as they were very tarnished.

The tide - depending on circumstances, you may chase it, or it may chase you.

Good one.The tide - depending on circumstances, you may chase it, or it may chase you.
By the way, in the Meditteranean there is (almost) no tide, so no chasing here

That's interesting - I didn't know that. We definitely get tides here, and when they're wind-driven like today, they can move faster than you expect. The chase is on.By the way, in the Meditteranean there is (almost) no tide, so no chasing here

No road rage and I am not keen on green - only struggling to find a suitable entry for this month's competition@John_Betong ; was this a case of road range or did you just admire the green coat?
I took the photos while riding pillion on a motorcycle taxi.
Quite hair-raising and definitely not to be recommended
Actually, sounds like fun to me!No road rage and I am not keen on green - only struggling to find a suitable entry for this month's competition

I don't know about anyone else here but I can say that I've chased sunsets far too often (with an SLR) and had only mediocre results. Weather is unpredictable like that. On the odd occasion there's a fantastic display and you find yourself with just your phone. C'est la vie

p.s this was captured with instagram.

The problem was having to use two hands to switch on the camera and meanwhile loose concentration on the moving traffic. Fingers crossed and hoping no sudden movements would occur which would have had me thrown onto the road, again. ..I already have the Tshirts complete with holes worn by tarmac abrasion.Actually, sounds like fun to me!

I did not know about Motorbike taxis.
Yes here is an abundance of small average 125cc licenced motorcyles, on all the streets, outside shopping malls, stations, large public places, etc. They are easily recognised with the orange vests, all ready to take you and maybe one or two passengers, shopping, luggage, etc to wherever you wish to go.

Fares are very cheap at about one USD dollar for a couple of kilometres. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_taxi
The Northern lights... this time of year its been chased by people from all over the world.
