Thanks Rob. Yeah, I was kind of kicking myself for driving by spots like these and never stopping to shoot. You see them every day and take them for granted. I bet you have some nearby treasures as well!

Great choice! Congrats on POTW Larry. And great image, Robert.

Love the surreal feel of this one Charmaine. Awesome work!

Love all three, Jim! All demonstrate a great range of tone but they are also strong images each in their own way. The expression on the loggers face is intense.

Everyone has said it but it bears repeating. Fabulous image, John!
