15. Every month
I'm blown away by the great pics in this contest but I have to say this group of pix was the hardest in a long time to pick just one to vote for.

Thanks to all the contributors!

18. Big Skies of Wyoming...
reminded me of driving through Kansas on my way to Denver. I wasn't looking forward to boring, flat Kansas. But it was awesome! Only sky from horizon to horizon -- unbroken by any buildings or trees -- a huge dome with immense fluffy clouds. It was the first time I'd ever seen an entire unobstructed sky. It was the best part of the trip. :)

All the photos are great. It's very hard to pick just one!

21. Damnit! You always make it so hard to choose.
And then I vote for the very coolest one and it gets the least amount of votes.

I narrowed it down to 3,4,5,9 and 10. Then after several coin flips and flip-flops went with the Dragons.

All of them are great.

80. I voted #1 because it was so unusual. What was going on there?
I think I gravitate toward storm pictures; but there are many exceptional photos here.
