***Finals for Sept Contest***

Last edited Thu Sep 24, 2015, 07:20 PM - Edit history (3)

Theme is "Another Roadside Attraction."

I accidentally posted in the wrong forum, so it is reposted here will votes carried forward in poll title.

We had a lot of ties, so I combined the two threads and went with total votes. Two were vying for the 10th spot, so it was decided by a coin flip. If the stakes were high, I could have had a runoff, but I didn't. Enjoy these fine images, and thank you Solly Mack and Mira for their help and support when a family emergency happened.

Winners will be posted either Saturday night or Sunday.

Voting will close Saturday night.


1 - Hot Day at Herb’s Herbs … offers Telepathy and Clairvoyance


2 -High Altitude--14,222--Peruvian Handicrafts



3 - Wahkeena Falls Columbia River Gorge



4 - He’ll service you with a Smile



5 - Lost in Wyoming



6 - Abita Mystery House, Abita Spring, LA.



7 - Best Little Oarhouse Rt 1


8 -Standing Amid The Sarsens



9 - Stop the Car!



10 - Red Feather Trading Post

In a Smothers Brothers song about Boatmen, they talked about going downtown to get some oars.

Yea! Cyclocross needs mud, lots of lovely mud.
This image of a British race is why I love cyclocross.

Now this is the type of mud that makes riders collapse at the finish line.
