    5. Only one image per participant so please choose the image carefully.

    Is that an illusion caused by the waves of intense heat in Iowa during the summer?

    I don't think so, especially if it was raining in 50 degree weather. :eek:

    How about that! Looks like they farm the land in the center of the wye, no? An orchard?

    Flash,

    I had not noticed how uniform the trees were planted. I do not have an answer for you so I guess that might warrant anther trip back to Paonia to get your answer.

    Great stuff so far! Still a few hours to get your entry in.

    There's still several places to find abandoned track in San Francisco, mostly what's left of an ancient rail line, now covered in pavement. But I felt too lazy to go in search, so instead I just climbed Knob Hill to find the Cable Car quad-crossing.

    Not the best quality, but we have streets, tracks, even bridges. Tall buildings, lush trees, blue skies. This was a fun outing. [​IMG]

    Not gonna make it.
    Weather was a bit too dark, cold and rainy all day!
    And now, starting to get to dark!
    Although, I still have an errand to run, so I might give things a quick look!
    Maybe, just maybe........

    Penny's Eye View

    Not sure if this will count but here is one from this past weekend. How about a penny's eye view of the Cumbres and Toltec 488?

    If by past weekend, you mean, photographed between 12:01AM Friday October 2nd and 11:59PM Monday October 5th, the yes it counts.

    Please let me know ASAP if this was photographed outside the date range so we can move it to the cutting room floor thread. If you're unable to reply soon enough, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and include it. [​IMG]
