This theme was one way to whittle down the number of entries.

Seems like some people have trouble parking.

Hmmm ... none of them really captured the theme of "dusk" for me.

But I voted 5 because that is one great looking Cooper at dusk

A minivan ran a red light, pushed a Honda wagon into my lane, then (unavoidably) crossed my path.

In addition to the front end damage, my MINI has a crease that runs from the middle of the passenger door to the rear.

Nobody was injured—yet!

#3!

And actually as a photograph alone, I liked it the best as it has great detail and sharpness, very interesting to look at, and of course shock value.

But I was going to disclude it from my vote for being off-topic when I realized that, if the mini was totaled, it is the Dusk of its life. So I could legitimately vote for it!

Too bad the prize isn't a gift certificate to a good body shop.

#3 gets my vote! I thought that was a pretty creative interpretation of "dusk."

On a whim, I thought I'd check in here.
(My whims of late have been hibernating.)

February's topic of "Broad Daylight" might prove whimsical.

I still can't decide...

...several good ones. Dave's is perfect (of course).

Thanks for posting next month's theme so soon (even though it sucks ). Let's see how many people don't read the part about not submitting until...

Juan, I've been "hibernating" too. Except on NAM.

#10: please post your photo in the sunset thread. It's really a nice shot.

I have enjoyed seeing the out-takes in the past. Here is one of mine:

I can't see Photo 5. In my browser, it's just a blank line between #4 and #6.
