****APRIL PHOTO CONTEST -- FINALS**** [View all]

Wow! We had a tie vote for one of the 8 places in the FINALS, so I'm including 9 photos in the FINALS.

The theme for this month's contest was based on the concept of The Wizard of Oz. Photographers were asked to submit a photo of a wild travel adventure where they encountered different architecture, landscape, native plants and animals, or food unlike what they experience at home ("somewhere over the rainbow") OR a photo of something that spoke to their heart when they returned from an amazing travel adventure about being "no place like home". If the experience of travel had not been an option, then they were asked to submit a photo of something in their native environment that made them happy to be where they were.


The FINALS will run for 48 hours. The winner of the April contest will be responsible for hosting the May contest, or, if unable to serve as host, be responsible for finding a substitute host.


Thanks to all the photographers who entered!

Please take care when voting for your favorite as there are several photos in the FINALS which have similar titles.

Please vote!


I have a feeling we're not in California anymore.
