Septemeber 2017 PotM Voting!

[Buckeye Bill]

Aw, sorry for that! @Buckeye Bill was joking and I chimed in with a variation of a popular German joke.
Here, the inhabitants of the coastal region Friesland, the East Friesians, are regarded a bit strange. There is a joke saying their national flag is a white Eagle in a white field - meaning there is nothing to be seen at all. I thought it funny to mimick that with my "white tents in the snowstorm" - likewise meaning nothing to be seen at all.
Sorry for worrying you, there was never a 13th photo.

You rascal.....

lololol

Have voted. All great shots!

I'm either missing something here, or a photo has disappeared! I only have 12 photos to choose from...and that isn't one of them . Either way, I chose one to suit my mood.

I thought he was complimenting @FarawayFriend, since hers was the first photo to appear after the 12.

 

[Bruce Vail]

Voted. This was an easy month for me because one of the images just bowled me over.

 

[7th Mississippi Infantry]

Voted! Seeing all these terrific and entirely different photos, I would love to have 12 chances to vote for each of them!

Voted, but really any of them are good enough to win. Tough choice.

Some great photos here, can we vote for them all? I like too many of them to just vote for one.

I join with my fellow forum members above in wishing I could vote for all of them. What great pictures!

I will pick one, but I will regret not being able to vote for all.

I agree with every statement above.

It was tough, but I finally chose one !

This may be the best overall group of images in competition up to this point.

 

[Stony]

Voted. All nice pics.

This is maybe a suggestion rather than a real question or any kind of criticism: Since there's a separate category specifically for reenactment photos, should ones like that be included here along with the landscapes?

I wondered the same thing and hesitated before entering mine this month. As much as I dig my shot, it really doesn't belong in the same category as those beautiful landscapes.

On the other hand, I see why Ami leaves it open. Photo #3 is as pretty a landscape as any. I'm so tempted to break my own rule* and vote in this contest. That shot is another makes-me-wanna-be-there image!

They all have something special about them really.

#1's glow and alignment is just spot on and breathtaking.
#2 The colors!
#3 Makes me forget that I don't "do outside" very well and instead briefly consider camping. Briefly, but still!
#4 I see the Heavens opening.
#5 Can I please live in that little house and take morning walks in that neighborhood? Thanks!
#6 Mixin' it UP! I don't often see that.
#7 I'll live in this house too. I can split up my time, no problem.
#8 Less of a landscape, more of a man-scape. (Bad, Lori!)
#9 Defiant and fierce!
#10 Cannon plus look at those trees! Maybe if I use enough bug spray, I can hang out for an hour and forget the rest of the world.
#11 Haunting. Thoughtful.
#12 Gorgeous. The kind of perspective I totally dig.

*(I don't vote if I'm in it because it seems weird to vote for myself, and odd to vote against myself.)

#13 is absolutely breathtaking!

[Cavalry Charger]

Haha @FarawayFriend Joke's on me I'll know better next time Also, I'd vote for your pic any day!

 

[truthckr]

I cast my vote, but decision was hard. Some remarkable photos.

 

[LoriAnn]

@Cavalry Charger , I paused for a second, wondering where that final photo was. So it wasn't just you. If not for Faraway's white tent comment, I'd still be looking for it!

 

[captaindrew]

Great pictures for sure. We are so lucky here to have so many great pictures posted here, period and modern, to bring all the discussions to life
