Morning spotlight on Uluru


This was our first morning in Australia. Jetlag had us up at dawn so we headed off to Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) to to hike the Valley of the Winds before it got hot. We stopped at the viewing platform to take pics of The Olgas and after a few pics I turned around I saw what you see above. Quickly repositioning the tripod to get a few shots of this natural spotlight. The picture does not do the scene justice but it was the sheer luck of it which makes it special.

Here's the more traditional view of this magical rock.

I think it should be as many as you want as long as they go with the theme.

I think this is a great idea. We could have the voting open from the start of the challenge.

If we get tired of counting votes and having the winner pick the theme I've been playing around with another idea of doing a theme photo thread. It's the same type of thing where a theme is chosen but the difference is that a new theme is chosen whenever a certain amount of time passes from the last post. Example - It's been a day since the last post about landscapes so the next person who posts changes the theme.

We could still use the thank you button and maybe if a photo gets a certain amount of thanks it goes into a HOF thread.

Again it's just an idea I thought I would put out there. I have no problems with how we are doing the challenge now.

OT: how is everybody hosting their images. I'm using photobucket, but I feel like every time I upload a pic it suddenly becomes much blander, and also that any resizing in photobucket really damages the image. Anyone else with similar experiences? advice?
