I think I am going to go with jtbell on this one.
 
Same here, caught my eye more than the others, but it's a decidedly close thing as all the photos are pretty excellent.
 
That was a really tough choice between scorpa's and Moonbear's.
 
Scorpa got my vote in this group - that looks like a nice place to take a walk.
 
This was a tough one. I ended up going for jtbell, but was really contemplating voting for robphy for that frightening view from the window of the plane! :bugeye:

It is a very nice place to take a walk. Lots of trails run through the city so it's actually pretty great, especially the river valley ones. In some of them you can actually forget you really are in a city. I pretty much live on them in the summer, I usually spent my days off riding my bike exploring the trails...got pretty lost sometimes, even ended up in some rather sketchy areas but eventually I found my way back...haha.
 
Mech_Engineer gets my vote :-).
 
Jtbell got my vote. I love it when the snow is wet and sticks to everything.

This is turning out to be a close contest! (No surprise considering how many pretty pictures people took.)

You have a day left to vote in the first round of this contest, if you haven't done so already. The voting so far is tight, and ever vote counts to get into the final round.
