I consider that an omen. So I will just make a few brief comments. First, I think everyone will agree that this was a difficult challenge. To try to find something interesting at random locations that are usually quite plain is a real test. On the other hand I'm glad to have tried it, and think I learned something. If nothing else, to look at everyday places in a different way, as possible photo opportunities. Comments: - The photo of the SI for me was Bowser's pidgeons. You could tell they were hot and thirsty. I thought the picture could be better, though, if the boaters and the other things on the water were stamped out. I sent Bowser a modified version to show what I mean. It only took a few minutes in photoshop. I even Siskerized the sky. I didn't feel right putting the modified pic on my website, so I'll let Bowser decide whether to show it. - Robert Coe's gravestones: The first thing I noticed were the white streaks. Probably should have deleted those. I think there is potential in that subject, but needs a little more work. - Tony Cooper's water fireworks. Very nice. I also liked Duck's "Keep Out" sign, but would have been better, as someone said, if there were a couple teenagers with surfboards sneaking past it.

Those surfing kids would do well to heed the warning "Does not go to ocean." They would have had an 8 mile trek through mountains, and rough country, including trespassing on Hearst property, to reach the coast. < http://maps.google.com/?q=35.6726666667,-120.9651666667&spn=0.05,0.05&t=h&om=1&hl=en > Zoom out to see the relative position to the coast. -- Regards, Savageduck

The kids could block the sign that says this isn't the way to the beach, or it could just be irony...
