I must have been 4 years old when I was in Kazakhstan for a few weeks. I hardly remember anything from this vacation. However I recall the absolutely stunning night sky and larkspur's picture comes very close to what I always try to revisualize. :smile:

I just love darketernal's photo! What stunning colors! I've never seen anything like it.
 
This one was tough all of the pictures were really good, but I've got to go with Turbo on this one, that is a very cool pic.
 
It's not the most pleasing to the eye, but there's something very cool about Moonbear's photo. DarkEternal is a close second.
 
You have approximately 2 days left to vote in this contest, if you haven't done so already.
