Great guess. It is in ireland on the island of inishmore (part of the aran islands) outside a stone age fort (Dún Aonghasa).

The island of inishmore is probably one of the best places I've ever been to.

That is not just any river, it's Fish Creek. The only time you camp in Fish CReek is when you are so wasted you can't walk up the hill. That was not the case here, I wish I had a good story to go with that picture other than I liked it.

You should post your pics from the incident in here for review!

So when do we officially start the voting? Do we have a timeline for this thing?

This was obviously taken by a lower end point and click camera with no special settings. It was taken towards the summit of Mt. Baldy.

An answer to bump the thread. I have my own site which I just toss the pictures up to. I do notice the images can sometimes appear darker in the browser than in photoshop.

I'm not sure what the official time frame was but because I started this weeks thread I'll make a discussion.

START VOTING NOW!!!

I think we will try the idea of using the Thanks button for the voting. Voting will end Sunday at 6:00 pm.

You can only vote once.

Jayems, you totally would've had my vote if you'd have put up your picture of the old grain elevator. Love it. In fact, I stole it and am now using it as my background...thanks man!

Can we vote more than once? Lots of nice pics in this thread.

If I had to pick just one though, it'd be the rice field on the hill (or whatever that is) by JohnnyB.

One vote only, just use the Thanks button. I agree though, I could pick a top 5 or 10 easy.

On a personal note, Thanks Dion and Steely for the votes.

It would seem we have no decisive result from this round so far. We've got two pics with 4 votes & one with 3, but voting's a little bit messed up due to multiple votes.

I have bolded the voters who voted doubly. For shame... expressing appreciation for more than one person....
Perhaps we could have a mini vote-off between the three, or else just share the title and whoever makes the next thread first can choose the theme... ideas?


Either way, I'm really flattered by so many people liking my photography. I'm totally amateur and just do this for fun, so it's really cool that people like the shots I take.
Thanks!

Lots of great pics!!

A mini vote probably would be best.

Ok we will do a quick mini vote to decide the winner. I will quote each of the 3 vote photos into their own post and we can use the thanks again to pick the winner.

ONLY VOTE ON ONE PHOTO
