CP Photo Challenge #11- "Abstract" VOTING NOW EVERYONE WELCOME TO VOTE!!!!

[REDVAN]

First of all, thanks for voting for my Iginla tree ornament picture. It feels like cheating, because I knew anything Flames related would get votes. However, I think the photo was decent anyway. Thanks again.

Theme - Abstract

I don't know an exact definition for abstract photo/art stuff, but basically, let's leave it open to interpretation. I guess that generally, abstract should mean "weird" or "what the heck is that?" or "not what I were hoping for, but still awesome" or something to that effect. I know it's a fairly general category, and that is somewhat on purpose.

May the best photo win!


---------------
Rules:
All photos must be no larger than 800x600 (or something close)
Please post only 1 photo per post (make a new post for new pics)
Post as many photos as you like, just keep it on topic
Vote by clicking the "Thanks" button at the bottom of the post
You may vote for 3 finalists.
Once the challenge leader (winner from previous challenge) chooses when to end the voting, he/she will change the thread title to explain when voting ends.
Once voting for the finalists is over, the challenge leader will tally up the votes and post (in 3 separate posts) the finalists.
Challenge leader again changes thread title to say when voting ends
Then, everyone comes back and votes on those 3 finalists.
You are only allowed 1 vote in the finals, so choose wisely
Winner of the challenge will start a new challenge thread and copy/paste these rules in the original post for consistency.
Don't be too specific with the theme nor too general. Try and get a theme that people can contribute to. Don't pick the red african ant of Kenya as a theme... nobody will post. Likewise, don't make the theme "stuff on earth"
Have fun.

Submission Deadline - Sunday January 9th at noon-ish. Enough time?

Looks like a midway ride at the Stampede?

Looks like a midway ride at the Stampede?

Excellent guess. It wasn't that, but it was at that time.

I was on vacation in BC, and a drunk went off the road and smashed into a tree. That was the firetrucks and police and ambulance. I just pulled my camera out, and didn't even try to change any settings. Forgot I had a longer exposure time set.

Sometimes my favorite pictures come by complete accident!

So...pretty much the only pictures I took were on my trip to Europe haha...this is a portion of a river boat we were on in...Budapest? We went down the Danube...I think.

I wish I could say I intended for these to happen, but really I'm just an awfully shaky photographer. Anyways, these were taken at the Oasis concert in Edmonton (yeah yeah I know) this summer. Great concert and a great end to my high school career with some of my best buddies.

Ok guys, this is a bump for voting.

[REDVAN]

Congratulations to Cowperson, who wins CP Photo Contest #11, Abstract with 9 (8+mine) votes out of 20 votes for first place.

Cowperson now has the choice of the next topic.

Voting is closed.

[4X4]

Cow is gone until March or April and possibly beyond. He just dropped by on new years for the heck of it. Better give it to the runner up.

Thank you for the votes.
