Our voting commences earlier this time in case the server upgrade starts early tomorrow.

Please vote for the best picture that represents our theme, which is on a well-beaten walking path.

I voted for edward.
Wow, I love that grass..how did you get that effect?
 
I love edward's picture, the only thing that stops me from voting for it is that I am not sure if sand path can be "well beaten" :smile:
 
You have less than 2 days left to vote in this contest.

Wow, Thanks for the votes everyone. The picture was taken at the Oregon Dunes in early November of 2002. I was still using my old Monolta SLR film camera. I had my vacation pics developed and scanned to discs at Costco.

I thought about that myself, but if the path isn't used frequently the wild grass will grow right over it.
