This picture was taken from the back lanes to Winsley, overlooking Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, UK.

i was actually sitting in my car driver seat taking random photographs from the seat.

Here is another photograph i considered for this competition, although this isn't the competition entry.

Birds on Arthurs Seat

My entry:

I took this in Warragamba, which is a town at the foot of the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney.

Here is a random picture I took on July 24, 2007:

Heres a picture I took about this time a year ago while on vacation at the Sequoia National Park in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Yay, got more entrants There's some pretty cool pics here, keep them coming

This is my entry, took it this morning at San José del Cabo, BCS, México at 6:50 am. Hope you like it, its all natural, nothing added or removed. Original contrast and colors.

mtg131g, psynergy and breeze - you're images break one small but important rule in this competition. The file sizes exceed 150kb. If you could PM me your new file location and i'll change the post for you.

OriginNO_II, your filename needs to be the same as your username. This way we can identify who's entry belongs to who and makes it easier and quicker to set up the competition polls. Likewise, if you could PM me the new file location then that would be appreciated.

I will have the polls up hopefully by the end of the weekend, so if you fail to send them before the competition end date (which is tomorrow) then if they are in no later than sunday evening then i'll have to continue without them unfortunately. Any new entry recieved after tomorrow will not be accepted.

I've re-uploaded my picture, it is now 149.74 kB, rather crafty I thought considering...

Thank you.

Too bad got back from holiday yesterday night. I got some really nice photo's that would fit this comp, but it's too late now....
