Poll :: June Photo Contest

Here we are on the 25th of the month, so without any further delay, here are the photos for this month's photo contest "In Your Hometown"

Some of you live in some pretty awesome places.
Yet again, the competition should be fierce. Good luck to all those that particpated.

I left my hometown in the rearview mirror

Photo 4
Basketball Hall of Fame, Springfield, MA


Photo 5
The slogan hated by the undisputed historian of Prescott. Taken from a stepladder.

Photo 8
Canada Goose


Photo 9


Photo 10
In my hometown I can get a haircut at a real barber shop.


Photo 11
My hometown is also the home of East Carolina University and the cupola in the background is the center peice of campus. The cupola is a replica of the cupola that topped the first building on campus in 1907. This is a 100th year of ECU and the Cupola was placed to usher in the next century, just as the new MINI is ushering in the legend of the Mini to a new generation.


Photo 12
Elkhart Park overlook of the Wind River Mountains near Pinedale, Wyoming. Elevation 9215 feet.


Photo 13
Just thought it looked funny how much smaller the car was than this huge combine.


Photo 14
The Jacarandas are in Bloom right now. Last year I missed the opportunity to shoot Angus under them eventhough they are in the next neighborhood. This year I was determined to not miss the opportunity.

Good, it don't look like a cakewalk for anyone this month. My conscience about voting for myself is strong this time.

I tried to drop hints, alot.
I think Tuls misses Arizona. At least during the winter.
Is 14 kicking our butts? I haven't voted yet. The colors are really vivid.

Nice shots everyone- this was a tuff one for me as there is very little unique or photogenic in my little town- I was proud of the sun stars on my detail.

I noticed that both sunroofs are vented on the R56-I didn't know that was changed-cool!
