2. An unexpected disguise for the Beatles, eh? You, rdking647, are doing a great job.

Staying on top of things, encouraging us, and you seem happy and excited about running this contest.

:fistbump:

3. Terrific shots

I still have no clue what to put in. I remember that intersection WJMS. The Woolworths is a neat arts and crafts gallery. I spent some time in there in July enjoying the art and cooling off from the 90+ degree weather.

6. los anchorage

one of my favorite places.. I love anchorage and alaska. we went up there one christmas to see if we could handle it if we decided to move there. (this was 10+ years ago when cold didnt bother me). while we loved it we couldnt take the lack of light. 9am sunrises and 3:30 sunsets where to much. but weve been there 5 times and may be back next year. im thinking katmai park and brooks lodge or something similar either that or a small ship trip up the inside passage

7. never been there

sure is a beautiful photograph...

9. Thank you, rdking647

I've never been to Katmai, but I would love to go sometime. I've lived here since 1975, but there's so much of the state I haven't seen (not owning an airplane). It's only been in the last three or four years that we've even been out to the west coast, Nome for the Iditarod finish. And Kodiak a couple of years ago. We're going to try to make it down to Southeast next spring. It's just expensive to travel here, so we mostly stay on the road system, which, as you know, is severely limited.

I really want to get over to Katmai to see those bears one of these years.

13. we've explored a lot of alaska

took a big ship cruise up the inside passage,drove the dalton from prudhoe to fairbanks,went camping on kenai and in denali,went skiing at alyeska and took a small ship criose thru the aleutians from anchorage to dutch harbor and then up to nome.

19. love the title of the pic!!!!!!

[Blue_In_AK]

20. Thanks.

It's kind of a local joke. With Anchorage being the only "real" city in Alaska (sorry, Fairbanks and Juneau, but I consider you "towns"), you'll often hear more rural Alaskans refer to Anchorage that way. And it actually kind of fits, since we're in a bowl much like Los Angeles is, on the coast and surrounded by mountains.

8. Very interesting shots!

Great takes on the old hometown.

I haven't be in my current location long enough to have explored it fully. Haven't had the time, really.

10. I really like the colors in Johnny Noshoes image. Cassandra

your image made me flash back to the black dress on Jonatha Brooke's first solo album, "Plumb."

[Cassandra]

11. I went to look.

Thank you!

[alfredo]

12. thanks for reminding me of one of my favorite albums.

[Johnny Noshoes]

14. Gotta say..

Cassandra that is a very cool photo - I love it.

[Cassandra]

16. Thank you!

West 17th Street.
I like how expansive you've made the bridge area feel.

[Johnny Noshoes]

17. That was from around Brooklyn Bridge park.

I got the angle just right and used a nice wide angle.

[Cassandra]

18. I've been there...

but usually at night when the Verizon building is especially intrusive.

[Stevenmarc]

15. Really like the Shareen Vintage shot

[alfredo]

21. I bet Cleo's makes a fine Martini.

[Solly Mack]

22. I'm really loving the submissions!

I went out today...it rained. I wanted to try and get this one corner here. I'm new to the town and haven't really explored the downtown area...but this one corner I have passed just screams Springsteen's "My Hometown".

My own "hometown" has been done better than I could ever do it. (Atlanta) It's funny...I don't really feel as if I have a hometown anymore. Been away so long, living in various states and countries.

23. I'm hoping for a rainy day so I have to leave my camera behind.

[Celebration]

24. interesting takes on the theme

some iconic, some quirky..........lots of variety, which I like. Some of the towns are named, and others one is left to wonder. Pretty cool contest.

Excellent composition in the Old Waterfront Dock, Mz Pip.

[Mz Pip]

25. Thanks!

It was difficult to decide what to enter but decided on this one because our waterfront is a never ending source of controversy around here. I should post a picture that shows the eastern landsacpe. Not appealing at all.

[Celebration]

26. I had WAY too many bytes

All the corrections everybody had made reminded me to check the file size. I totally forgot about that!! Sorry.
