Definitely Zz's. That landscape is practically Norwegian.

I vote to take Ivan's train through hyp's landscape and end up in Zz's photo for a picnic lunch with Arildno. :approve:

How am I supposed to vote? :cry:

Actually, Evo, you shouldn't sit down in a river to have picnic.
But, if you like, we can go snorkeling there instead? :smile:

Wow these are some amazing choices! I had to go with Zz's though as I like the overall feel.

This was an incredibly tough choice. I could have picked anyone of the three. I was leaning toward Hyp's, because it has a sort of surreal quality about it, and it actually has a road, and then Ivan's because it made me feel transported back in time somehow, but ultimately, Zz's picture really captured what is really "country" to me, and not train or desert. I just love the moss growing on the rocks too. Good job everyone!

It was a tough choice indeed. In the end Ivan got my vote, as his picture "captured" the "Take me home" part of the theme so well. :smile: But every contribution to this contest was brilliant and would deserve a vote. :smile:

hypnagogue's picture is just what i think about when you say "Take Me Home, Country Roads"...

if you'd ask what picture i'll put as a wallpaper... that's harder... i guess i'll have to switch between ZapperZ's and hypnagogue's :biggrin:

I love trains. I don't collect them. :tongue2:

All good pictures. Zz's has beautiful landscape. I can just imagine how relaxing it is in person.

Hyp's too. Perfect for motorcycle (scooter :tongue: ) riding in the middle of nowhere and just enjoy the beautiful road.

But because of my love for awesome trains, I voted for Ivan.

GO IVAN!
