Compeition: The Place Where I Live

[Mr Hako]

Rules:
1) One entry per person per competition.
2) Photos must be taken in your village/town/city or if you live in an isolated area, within 3 miles of your house.
3) Remember, the title of any competition is open to interpretation! Try to be creative.
4) When the deadline has passed, the winner will be chosen by poll. When voting, please try to take into consideration the skill and creativity of the photo, not merely the fact that the photographer is lucky enough to live in a beautiful part of the world. It goes without saying, but a creative and imaginative shot of an otherwise ordinary location is a lot more rewarding than a "snap" of a World Heritage Site!
5) Deadline: Last day of April.

Post your photos here (longest domension no bigger than 600pixels please. That's fair on everybody - some people don't have access to fancy scanners)

I just realized it was taken more then 3 miles from my home. I think I will skip this challenge. Sorry, seems to be to many rules to go by and then only once a month. It will drag on for me.

Good luck folks and have fun.

Had a hard time choosing between this, the trolley (narrow guage) or the S.S. Klondike. Not too exciting, I realize, but I was pleased I managed to take a close up of a bee without blurring it.

A whitehorse girl! Are the flowers blooming there, too?

 

[TCapp]

Not yet. The snow is finally starting to melt away. I'm all but rubbing my hands in anticipation for the crocus, lupin, fireweed, etc. to show their bright little faces.

I did a four day horseride and two day canoe trip in whitehorse, oooh, 10 years ago(?) and it was gorgeous. I'm not convinced I would want to live there, but I'd return for a visit in a heartbeat! I hope you share some more pictures with us when everything thaws...

In this old thread, I have a few autumn pictures. In the first and last posts. I didn't have this new digital camera until late summer, so I look forward to some taking some spring pictures.

(Maybe I'll start a whole new thread, and post up a lot of my nature and other photos. I even have some from Fox Lake with grosbeaks, whiskey jacks, and chickadees.)

But I wish not to hijack this thread (a bit late for that, I guess).

 

[Mr Hako]

What's going on? This thread was to post your entries, the other thread for competition thoughts/suggestions/chat. It's all got confusing. Can everybody use the other thread for everything other than competition entries please?

Here is mine...

Here's mine. I debated a bit, but I figure any picture of Vancouver needs to have some rain in it. This is the best I could do.

I decided to take a new entry [again].

Here's my submission. Was a tough decision. I had 6 pictures in total I had to decide between. Ultimately I asked my fiance and she said this was hands down her favorite. I had a few others that I tried to be more artistic with...they just didn't turn out as planned. I guess I need more practice.

So basically there's a lot of wooded area and mountains around my town that I've been hiking on recently. I really enjoy being this close to this kind of scenery, so that's why I picked a picture like this for "The Place Where I Live" or whatever the contest theme is. Here's the picture:

Ran out of time. Really wanted to do one of the town at night, but there just was not time....
