Your pictures on the theme of 'in a rush'

We asked our readers to send in their best pictures on the theme of "in a rush". Here is a selection of the photographs we received from around the world.

John Barnes: "A skateboarder in the park on London's South Bank, near to the Tate Modern."

Harald Loeffler: "Manhattan, New York, is the poster child for being in a rush, and there are plenty of signs to remind you not to stand still."

Mike Robinson: "Complete And Utter Chaos Girls' School F24 Greenpower electric car racing team in action at the International Final at Goodwood."

Louise Moon: "While in Antarctica, we were really lucky to see these emperor penguins, which are superfast in the water, but pretty ungainly on land. When in a hurry, the fastest way to travel is by belly sliding."

Sarah Kundla: "Photo taken in Scotland, in the north-western island of the Isle of Skye. On this overcast and misty morning, this flock of sheep ran on to the road directly in front of our car and then proceeded to sprint down the rest of the hill."

Kim Osborn: "I can chase you even though I only have three legs, says the chap in pink."

Alexandra Tandy: "A woman sits tentatively in the back of a rickshaw, with a giant toy cat on her lap, as it races through the streets of London."

Mark Hazelwood: "Busy Regent Street, stop-motion photography capturing the constant buzz."

Tom Reynolds: "Taken from a gantry as traffic exited Blackwall Tunnel south side, London. A slow shutter speed allowed the light trails of the vehicles rushing home from work."

Ian Mason: "A red squirrel running across a snowfield on one of the coldest days of the Perthshire winter."

Krzysztof Suchnicki: "This park in Wroclaw, Poland is always full of rooks during winter."

The next theme is "bright lights" and the deadline for entries is 13 December 2022.

The pictures will be published later that week and you will be able to find them, along with other galleries, on the In Pictures section of the BBC News website.

You can upload your entries on this page or email them to [e-mail].
