I didn't vote for myself either. I liked Tim's photo of the CP extra. Great "timing" on that shot! Great photos everyone!
Colonel, Look it's monday and there have been 48 votes. We have all day monday for members to vote. I belive we will make the 50-vote count goal for the first time!:thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:
Isn't orange supposed to be DARKER than yellow? OK, well now that the poll is closed it's TIME for me to post my entry. I was unable to get the file transferred in time for the challenge...that's why it's called a challenge! hehe This one's titled something like... "Time hasn't been kind to this one".
Ya Congrats to Keith for winning and making another challenge a success. This was the first challenge with 50 members casting votes. I believe it may be catching on. Doug, Looks like they left her out in the sun again.
Congratulations Keith, Tim, and Steamdonkey 74, great job! Looking forward to the next challenge, I'll make more time for it this time.
Definately a very interesting challenger this time!! My hats off to Tim though, for providing a very good run for the money!! And congrats to everyone who entered. What makes mine interesting is I shot it in the middle of a currentky unused street intersection. Another 6-12 months maybe, and there's gonna be condos, townhomes and other outrageously priced homes in the area!
Way to go Keith. I have a similar shot, although not as good, taken a few years ago when I was visiting my brother in Highland Ranch. One evening we caught the light rail in from Littleton to eat down town and went by the depot to watch Amtrak go through.
Way to go Keith! This was fun! We were heading out of town the day I took my shot - I just barely got the camera out of the bag and turned on - let alone have time to set up a shot. My original plan was just to get a picture of the clock with the Holland depot in the background - thanks to CP running that extra, it added a little action!
Nicely Done Everyone! I enjoyed all of the photos. I voted for: "Times Up". It conveyed so much to me with the title. Maybe the next contest should be to list suggestions for what the next contest should be. Needless to say folks will suggest what they have a good chance of doing. That's ok since this is a friendly thing. If there was something at stake that would be different. So here's my idea: Everyone list what there ideas for a contest. After 72 hours Paul compiles a Pole based on them and then we all vote for our preferance. Bonus: Paul is not compelled to take the "winning" option.
Thanks for the vote Grey One, glad you enjoyed the picture. These challenges are a great idea. I really appreciate the spirit that everyone participates with. It's all fun and a "legitimate" reason to chase train related stuff is a plus too. It reminds me of something I once heard about fishing.... If you sit by the river drinking beer, you're a bum.. but if you have a fishing pole, you're a sportsman. If you're chasing trains for a contest... well, you get the idea. Great pictures everyone.
