AI Thread Summary
A new photo contest has been launched, focusing on the theme "YOUR CITY/NEIGHBORHOOD." Participants can submit one digital photo that reflects their local area, adhering to specific guidelines: photos must be resized to a maximum of 650 x 490 pixels, and editing or special effects are not permitted. Only original photos taken by the participants are allowed, with submissions made through designated photo servers. A poll will determine the winner at the end of the contest period, which runs until May 5th. Discussions include suggestions for a playoff-style voting system if entries are numerous, and clarifications on what constitutes a digital photo. Participants are encouraged to share their unique perspectives on their surroundings, fostering a sense of community and diversity through visual storytelling.

It's not my city, but it is my neighborhood--you can see other roofs between the trees. I could show you cars and my front lawn, if we were allowed more than one photo per person...

No, no. I'm not talking about your picture, sorry for misunderstanding.

Rural and city living each have their advantages. :biggrin:

LYN, I was at the Queen Mary a few years ago, and the view of the Long Beach nightime skyline is absolutely stunning. They have done a beautiful job down there.

Well, I haven't lived in Long Beach for a little over a year now, but the view of the Sonoma valley from here is pretty nice. I think I could get a very good photo up if it's sunny tomorrow.

This is quite a common sight in my area. Less so, but far from rare, are bears, moose, cougars, bighorn sheep (:-p ), bald eagles, more deer than you can count, elk, etc. etc. etc..

As you can see, most of them are thoroughly engrossed in the 'Ellen' show, the near one is wondering what the hell kind of bird that is (an L-1011), and the one on the left suddenly realized that I didn't have any pants on.

Oh Wow! TheSwerve, that is so beautiful! And to think it is just down the road from me! I would take a photo of our lovely Marina Del Rey sunsets, but I am such a klutz with a camera. It would be a mess.
