Less than a week left! Any other folks out there want to get in? Remember, it does not have to be a picture perfect shot.

The shot of Jim does not count! It's one of mine I threw in. Plus, I gotta tell you, your pic took me straight away on a mini-vacation.

Not a secret spot by any stretch of the imagination, but it struck me as a beautiful view when I reached that spot.

I'll play. Still one of the more remarkable fishing trips I've had, good company and hard work put into getting there.

I have pictures of us with the inhabitants, but I think the scenery was just as beautiful

Wow - that is stunning!

Indeed, the quality of photos here is mind-blowing. (Jon's mountain shot is another good example) I know my photos don't stand a chance, but for what its worth, here's one I like.....

That's a great shot! It takes some work to process like that. I don't have the skills or the patience but it really makes the fish pop!
