Wow! Great photo...

But I see good news and bad news.

The good news is she won $250.

The bad news? The IRS knows it too.

:eek: Quick, Dol! Get to Canada! They can't touch you there.


Great shot! I love the texture.

I'm liking Canada more and more. If only it wasn't so damn cold up there. I hate cold.

That is a really interesting (and fantastic) photo. It makes me want to know more about the surroundings. Where was it taken, how did you get there, who owns those bicycles, etc.

Congrats!

Thanks so much, guys. It really is nice to have someone who doesn't need to be polite confirm that a shot I took has appeal. The gift card is a nice bonus, of course, but it really is secondary.

That particular shot was taken at the Summer Palace. Just as we were exiting the grounds, I spotted the bikes through a doorway and stopped to grab a shot. I only took one, because I knew I got exactly what I wanted. The doorway was near some of the buildings that are near the entrance gates, so I assume they belong to people who work on the grounds, but that is a guess.
