***August Contest Theme: Grand and Majestic***
From Websters - august: marked by majestic dignity or grandeur, having a formal and impressive quality.
Do try to convey your interpretation of the definition of "august". Do not limit your inspiration, as I believe there can be majesty and grandeur in even the smallest of subjects that catch our eye.
Submissions will be open on August 7th and will run until 8:00 p.m. EST August 14th or there are 30 submissions, whichever comes first.
Please keep your photograph entry no larger than 800 pixels in its longest dimension and under 300K in file size, unless otherwise designated by contest host. If you need help posting a photograph or with image sizing just ask.
Please do not use frames other than small point outline edges.
Post-processing is allowed but a light hand would be appreciated. If there are any questions about what that covers, feel free to ask.
Point (focus if needed 
) and shoot away!

I'm afraid I'll have to pass unless I can find something suitable already in my photobucket account since I'm leaving for CA in a couple of days, but I look forward to other people's entries.
Enjoy your trip, but bring shorts as it's been hotter than hell down here lately and no end in sight!
I know which one I'm using! And it's not a castle, church, bridge or landscape! 
I'm looking forward to seeing some interesting interpretations of this theme.
I am ready to be blown away in this one.
Really great theme, bluesbassman
