While Camping in Osoyoos, BC... our 1yr old son crawled under the Burb (cute photo, but I like this one better) and began inspecting the lug nuts and baby-chatting to the truck.

Travelling home on our never-ending family vacation... which was GREAT! I had to stop and have some "Whipsaw Envy!"

My favorite place to be... under the Burb in the rain prepping for some new mods (which are currently in transit). Love our house/yard/work space..... no complaints! Oh.. FYI, my 6yr old took the photo with this own camera... sorry for all the glare from the flash and rain!

Voted!! Tough call between Highwaystar & BCGhosttowns.... had to go with the artistic look of Highwaystar.... but Michael did a fab job if sneaking his truck into all the photos....

I still just love that B&W shot of the ol' steam engine. LR

[Cody1771]

^ what he said, the old steam engine got my vote... apeal to the gearheads! lol

[highwaystar]

I voted for myself. does that make me a jerk?

If I win, beer when we all meet :cheers:!

Congratulations Highwaystar on first place.Bcghosttowns for 2nd and theotherside takes 3rd.

That was fun guys but pipe up here,I personally dont think its worth the prizes with only 3 entries.I was hoping for total participation but its not fair to cancel prizes for those who did participate.Whats everyone think?
You must remeber these guys who donated prizes are out of pocket and time so i am not sure we put on a good enough show for them,but on the other hand if we rub our prizes in the other members faces perhaps we will get a better turn out next time.
We could push the prizes to the next contest and i could fire one up right away with fall related pictures. :confused:

[TheOtherSide]

Why don't we take 3rd place away (Me).... considering I didn't even get votes... haha...

Just give 1st & 2nd prizes... or just 1st prize and put the remaining to the next contest.

I am ok with that also.Maybe from here on in have only 1 prize till the turnout is better,maybe i got a little over zelous.We can bank the other 2 prizes for future contests but i want to hear from more people especially Highwaystar.

[Cody1771]

yeah im easy, personally i just like seeing these contests for the pictures people put up :P

[highwaystar]

I've been having Internet troubles so sorry for late reply. I'm typing this on a iPod! Technology eh? I am cool with banking the prizes for a fall contest. I think falls my favorite season, and I just discovered that our nikon d40 has different settings other than auto and want to figure them out. Let's let her ride thru fall!:olc:
