    To bad you didn’t get Tommy Lee Jones or Anne Heche in the shot. That would have been awesome.

    ennuipoet, you can always go with an urban waterfall.
    Of the four I’m considering (gonna let Mrs. Yugoboy play arbiter) one is of the High Falls of the Genesee, right where the city of Rochester was founded. There’s almost nothing natural left except for the water and gravity (oh… and the cute little rainbow in the left side of the picture…).

    Given your penchant for awesome, I’m hoping to see some urban waterfalls (and not urban volcanoes… what is it about NYC that even the ground is gassy?)

    Pretty sure it has to do with either politicians, or Wall Street. 😛

    Just checking, but the Grand Canyon wouldn’t be considered “mountains” would it?

    Inverted mountains maybe 🙂

    Well it kinda looks like mountains, amirite? Plus it’s all I got.

    I dunno; earlier I had the ruling that Meteor Crater in Az wouldn’t qualify for this contest (or I’d be using it), so I’d tend to say ‘no’. But it’s Orionid’s call.

    Agreed. But there are small waterfalls in the Colorado river flowing through the Grand Canyon.

    I also wanted to say to Just Kat, I have a few pictures of the EXACT SAME TREE from the EXACT SAME SPOT near Manzinar! Now I’ve got to go find it!

    EDIT: I also just noticed that your last entry is Mt. Tom from the 395. Cool beans.

    =D I cropped the tree to make the pic focus more on the mountains, but between us (nobody else listen!! 😛 ) I took the pic because of the tree. 😉

    As for the last one: now I know more than I did before! I knew what freeway I was on, but not the name of the place. 🙂

    Really good stuff thus far.

    And now I’m going to gripe for a bit. I didn’t have a whole lot on digital for this contest. I was going to scan some negatives and then real life got in the way of doing anything. We had a massive storm hit last night and have been without power ever since. It may be several days before we get power back. So we’re in a hotel tonight to avoid going completely insane in a hot, powerless, internet-free house.
