    Trevor gets my vote this week. Makes want to ride that road. Thanks for the fun challenge. Dorkburger gets an honorable mention for pulling off a great shot at literally the 11th hour.

        Dave, my garage pic (post 1641) was an entry...

        Also to be clear, Dave (Redman)'s barn/quarter bike pic (in 1627) is not being submitted for votes, correct?

        I vote for Roger Burque73.

          Huh! I thought I clicked quote on that.
          Sorry.
          Have fixed it now.

          Since your picture showed so much personal stuff, I wondered if we might see a "skeleton in the closet". Oh, wait, at your house that is on the front lawn.

          Correct. Is Not.
          Is my stupid haphazard exploratory experiment. Had I been trying for that result on purpose, then I might consider entering it.

            I'm voting for Dorkburger as well. But I'm curious if that " dumpster " carpet in Kerry's garage is the real deal......

                  I've collected a few of them in my travels but I'm not an expert. I'd look on the back to see if it is hand knotted for starters. You can look on line to see what that would look like. Then check the pattern with the various regions they are made.......Here's a little 2 minute video with some basics. But there's tons of stuff on line.

                    It was a toss-up for me between Sandy and Burque. The sky progressively darkening across the pic pushed me toward Burque, who gets my vote.

                      I'm going to have vote for Dorkburger just for the thought and creativity that went into it.

                        I give a vote to Roger Burque73, the contrast is what did it for me.
                        I've been extremely busy lately and hoping to get back into this as soon as possible.

                          Ill vote for Roger Burque. Really shows what it like all the way over there to all the way the other way, nice scene without having some of the oddities of a panogrpahic shot.

                          I was also impressed with Trevors and Dorkburger. And Kerry Kerfunk for trying this new thing just for the game.

                          Interesting how some other folks said about the same thing I did, in that, tried panographic (function of smartphone) a few years ago and not used it much since.
                          I, myself, really enjoyed trying it again, and coming to a better understanding of it all. And I thank Trevor for the prodding.

                                With so many interesting entries, I was expecting the voting to be more widespread (no pun intended).

                                My count this morning is:

                                Glen Dorkburger 5, Trevor 1, Roger Burque 6

                                I would welcome somebody to check my count.
                                (Note: the vote for "Roger" is Burque73.)
