The results of the October Photography Competition are in, and they are SPLENDID!Last edited Mon Oct 25, 2021, 06:30 PM - Edit history (1)
Hey everyone
The results of the October Competition have been tabulated and I am as pleased as punch to announce the results. For those who did not get a chance to see the OPs on the comp the theme was "Roadscapes, rural or urban, old or new". A big thank you to everyone who participated and for everyone who took the time to vote and make such lovely comments. Please be assured that the entrants of the competition really appreciate them. So without further ado the runaway winner of the contest is Heartstrings with an absolutely STUNNING picture. The road less traveled... 
Second place goes to Grumpy Old Guy who always manages to make a long shot look incredible and they are so not easy! Yellowhead Highway 
And in third place MichaelSoE with a glorious road picture at dusk, country stark against a darkening sky. Magic hour indeed. Magic Hour 
I think we can all agree that they are worthy winners, one and all and deserve a huge round of applause! 
And for the valued prize of winning Heartstrings gets to provide the theme for the next contest. Everyone look out for it - if you voted this time, maybe you might think of entering next time? Just sayin' 👀

Thank you everyone for the beautiful messages and votes for “The road less travelled”! I’m truly honored and happy you enjoyed the shot….
The photo was taken just down the road from where I lived in Rudolph, WI. Rudolph (population 439 last census) is located just 7.7 miles North of WI Rapids and is best known for the cheese factory located smack dab in the middle of this small burg. What? A cheese factory in WI? Ahhhh yes….and watching the curds being made is a delicious perk of living in close proximity of an actual cheese factory and having easy access to still warm, squeaky cheese curds! Anyway….It was truly a magical scene I woke up to the morning that shot was taken. A winter wonderland for most of the day, mild temps, sunshine and then we got slammed with another foot and a half of snow later that night and plummeting wind chills! Winter in Wisconsin! Not sure how or when I’m supposed to name the new contest theme, but I have one in mind so I’m ready! I have to give a huge shout out to all the participants! You all rock! So much beauty and inspiration from each and every submission! DU has a lot of talent and creativity. Fortunate to a part of this forum….
Peace and love, Heartstrings |

44. Well, since that pic was taken I've moved a bit South and so glad I did!

The area I’m in now, Dane County, is solid blue…..not so much up by the cheese factory! I do miss the easy walking access to those curds however!
