Wow this thread is looking freaking amazing!! I’m loving the b-sides too.

Also, happy anniversary Kestrana! I’m in love with your part of WA and I love to see what you’ll post each week.

Thanks to everyone!

There were a lot of amazing photo opportunities there, but I live in Connecticut now. It’s a great place to visit though, if you ever get the chance.

They’re currently loading fine for me.

Likewise.

Thanks guys. It seems to be relatively stable. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when we go green, I guess 😛

I can’t believe I forgot this one:

That’s the trouble with having 20,000 photos on file, I can’t remember where they are any more – or what they are, sometimes.

I keep meaning to go back and add keyword text files to all my folders for easy searching, but I have thus far failed to do so.

At least my directories are by date, and event/location =P

My B’s here. As always, I welcome input on selection choices. I was pretty solid on my first two, but waffled back and forth between the Chicago pic, the silhouetted Liberty Island, and the Epcot heron/pond.

Comments on other B’s:
rav: I think you made the right choices, although I may have gone with your first B over your last entry, depending on my mood at the time. I really like the red of the rocks there.
zincprincess: I like both of your B’s. If forced to choose, I may have run them in place of the first two, but it would be a difficult choice.
sleeping: I think you could’ve gotten some good mileage out of that IR shot. And the sunset is just gorgeous in that last B. Another set of tough decisions.
Kestrana and orionid: I’m not even going there! I thought I had difficult choices this week!

I seem to have been having what was, at best, and intermittent issue.

I’ve noticed intermittent problems the last two contests. Sometimes red X’s and sometimes properly sized frames with no pics. I’ll keep an eye out this week and let you know if I see it again.

I’d appreciate that. I *thought* I’d narrowed it down to a RAM issue. And, I literally beat the hell out of it Monday night – Lotsa pic linking around TF, plus offering up a 200MB .avi file – and it went through all that just fine. yesterday it was occasionally being flaky again, so I dunno. I tweaked some stuff that seems to have made things better again, but if it’s not that… I’ll be on my second motherboard in four months, and/or reloading the OS in case something just got corrupted =P

CauseISaidSo, what’s the road like to Toroweap? I’ve always wanted to go there, and the opportunity may present itself next year. I assume you camped there?

Awesome shot.
