I love them all though. They all transport me to that location. I can almost feel myself being there.

btw I really appreciate the depth of color in the fall foliage and the timing of the photo seems perfect.

...after a fucker dropped a rock on his head from that bridge while the man, wife, and child were passing under it.

It was just terrible, but the guy survived though was bleeding like crazy.

Sad sad sad.

Anyway, yes, that's Central Park with the buildings along Central Park West in the background.

That story is crazy terrible. Awesome on yourself for the rescue.

My grandparents lived on the Upper East side during the roaring 20's, 30's and 40's. I've got some interesting family history in NYC that I'll have to share with ya at some point I'm interested in doing a tour of the buildings and facilities where they worked.

This winner just speaks to me.... ahhhhhhh, so peaceful, and beautiful. But that "just ducky" still looks like a decoy to me. ha ha Really anyone of these photos could win.

The depth of that photo is stunning. It's a beautiful scene to begin with, but capturing the sense of depth and distance really makes it stand out. Hats off to the artist - I gave you my one vote I had to give.

Of course all of the photos are great and it is very hard to choose!

but it wasn't going to win so I switched to the Best Moment of the Day. Kudos to those two photographers as well as all the others.
Alchemy is also another favorite of mine.

let me say thanks.
Blue Bayou is mine. I took it in late August in Mayakka park in Sarasota Florida. I'm glad you liked it.
