Eat the salmon, any chance you have. If you'll be in Fairbanks long enough, go to the outdoor salmon bake. It's held daily in one of the parks, sorry I can't remember which one, and I have never...

Placed 35^th in the challenge. Midway attraction at the fair

Agree, as long as you don't have to carry it all. I put everything I might conceivably need in my big Tamrac bag and then pick what gear I will carry on a daily basis.

Definitely do the Denali bus. It's the only way to get very far in the park. When we were there, you could get off the bus anywhere you wanted (unless there was a bear nearby!) And get back on...

Found myself in deep desert darkness with tripod buried under a bunch of stuff in the car, so I got some cool long-exposure star shots by putting the camera on a beanbag on top of the car. I'm a...

Placed 60^th in the challenge.

Looks a lot like formations around Arches area. Maybe look thru Flickr groups like Moab, etc.

Placed 64^th in the challenge. Kansas City

As M mentioned, Spruce Tree House is the most accessible for going through. But you can get a decent image of the overall cliff dwelling from the building at the head of the trail. Another place...

That is one stunning photograph. I hate horseflies, they have been responsible for more than one rodeo-type riding experience in my life! But this is a thing of beauty; those eyes are like...

Brian gives a 0.5 when he views a photo as being not exceptional or outstanding. But I've read on here that 0.5 should be given to photos that, in the voter's opinion, don't meet the criteria. IMHO...

Placed 129^th in the challenge. It's kind of hard to dash when your legs are 4 inches long and the snow is 3 inches deep. That's life as a bagel (basset/beagle). Maybe flapping my ears will help.

Placed 99^th in the challenge.

Placed 1^st in the challenge. Handcrafted silver spur. All tooling and engraving done by hand. in West Texas, spurs are both utilitarian and decorative. A working cowboy wants a set of spurs unique in design and intended to be worn and used as well as admired!

Placed 23^rd in the challenge. Blizzard March 4 19 inches. Wind gusts up to 75 mph, here it had quit snowing but the wind was still blowing it fiercely.

Placed 31^st in the challenge. Blizzard March 4. 20 inches, drifted up to 6 ft in places

Placed 85^th in the challenge. Ruins in ghost town of Rhyolite, Nev.

Placed 37^th in the challenge. ruins of the old Cooper Bank building in Rhyolite, Nev.

The IR you linked to is interesting; I could see it framed and hanging on a wall in some ultra-modern all-white living room (which certainly doesn't describe mine!!)The software and processing are...
