Am I the only one who doesn't understand the theme for Match 03?

The Skybox in this case just refers to the sky - photo must feature an expanse of sky (and a car).
A skybox I believe is a term for the sky in a 3D video game where the sky is literally made up of a box.
You can also made a skybox by printing out a set of sky images like so...

...and then folding them into a box.

Happy to see that one of my themes made it in

Looking forward to seeing the entries soon- especially the skybox one. That looks intriguing.

And here I was taking some images of what I thought was a sky-box "a luxurious suite high up in the stand of a sports stadium,which is rented out to groups of spectators, corporations, etc"
Guess I will post them elsewhere anyway as they don't look too bad.

So I do not have to 3-D box it - lots of Sky and a car right!?

Thanks for that question @GT_Racer22 , saving me some time and my dignity - phew!
and thanks for clearing it up Nato

 

[Nato_777]

@Stopforpetrol I can certainly see the confusion.

A definition of skybox is; An elevated, usually enclosed private compartment for viewing events at a sports stadium.

Another is; A skybox is a method of creating backgrounds to make a computer and video games level look bigger than it really is. The sky, distant mountains, distant buildings, and other unreachable objects are projected onto the cube's faces (using a technique called cube mapping), thus creating the illusion of distant three-dimensional surroundings.

The theme was submitted by gtuned whose use of "sky(box)" and the title Java Clouds leads me to believe it is the latter.
