Photo Contest - Take Me Home, Country Road (6/22-6/28)

[Integral]

Wow! Talk about some goergeous pictures. I am humbeled, and with tons of what I thought were great scenery shots I can find nothing that holds a candle... So... I'll go cute and furry... At least it is different

I have to go with this... no matter what else turns up. That is so out-my-back-door. Unfortunately, development has taken most of that away. In fact, I wanted to post something like that for the 'Gone But Not Forgotten' contest, because it doesn't exist around my area any more. I'd have to go at least a couple of miles out of town to see a vista like that now.

Yeah that is pretty much what it looks like in all directions around my house, you can literally see for miles. I go home to every chance I get, I don't think I will ever get used to the city, I just miss it way to much out there. My other pic was a lot better but I had already used it for the your city or neighbourhood contest :(

Wow some gorgeous shots here, I think this is the best contest yet!

Having seen hypnagogue's effort I almost decided not to bother but I've always liked this, I took it looking over the Hope Valley 18 months or so ago. Yomamma's picture is awesome too, gorgeous colours, pity about that date stamp! And woop woop for Ivan, I bet that was a bit of a sight!

Amazing pictures!

I'd like to share this shot from Denali National Park in Alaska with you. It was taken during my very first visit to the US in September 2002.

This contest is brutal, but here's my picture anyway. This was taken somewhere at the foothill of the Smokey Mountains.

And just when I thought everyone was done, Zapper pulls that out of the bag! Since we've got so many excellent photos I think we should start critiquing them a bit more! Composition here is lovely, good use of rocks in the foreground, shame about the near branches on the right. A portrait crop might do it a bit more justice, but the exposure is pretty much spot on. Ideally you might wait until later in the day to bring out the oranges in the wood of the shed, but it looks like you've used a nice long shutter speed to blur the waterfalls slightly, nice!

I couldn't! I had to get back to my conference!

:)

BTW, I literally had to jump onto a rock in the middle of this small creek to get this picture.

Does anybody else hum Bob Denver tunes after viewing this thread? I can't get Country Roads (I think that is the title of that song) out of my head.

I think you mean John Denver. Bob Denver played Gilligan.
