I went with space tiger.
 
I voted for myself :o is that bad? :devil:

Janus's cracked me up
 
wow, two pictures from DC!

No, I think Jtbells picture just looks like the DC metro. But the cars are different (too square).

I had a hard time choosing between deerhake and fi, but ended up going with fi.

Sorry, spacetiger, I couldn't vote for a "crooked path" in a "straight and narrow" contest. :biggrin:

Cyrus, in the original thread for entries, jt mentioned his photo was taken in FL (I think he said Miami, but I'd have to look back to verify that).
