With my old bike roots, I have to go with the flatlander :smile: Great pictures from everyone though.
 
Geeze, another tough one. :frown: Alex Cap's is very cool, but the way the sun on larkspur's gull shows it's little toes touching in a point gave me no choice. It's a beautiful, serene picture.
 
Tough choice between Turbo and Alex Caps for me but in the end I went with Turbo because that train looks awesome in b/w.
 
I went with Alex. Nice shot.
 
Thanks. I went with Janus, that is a wonderful picture!
 
Still no choice on this group. Group 2 wasn't easy, but at least do-able.
 
I'm almost ashamed I had to choose one.
 
I went with Janus on this one. I just loved how the black and white image accentuated the glistening of the sun on the water with the imposing rock in the background. But, all the entries are great...it was a tough choice!
