Many thanks for to all those who put stuff up for the last day of Winter.
And Epirb has a lot to answer for this Having been one of the ones who have managed to get a spot of picking the subject for the Photo Comp, I do know how hard it can be.....But really Epirb
I am hopefull that someone will finally pick "Atomic Bomb Sites" (I know I will cop it if I do finally manage to win this and nominate that) but just abit of wishful thinking. Okay, in the words so often heard at the Oscars "Here are the nominees....."

Ooops, no votes, yet.
Okay, the Federal Government has set the closing time as 6.00pm AEST Saturday 7 September 2013 as the close-off time for voting. How can I argue with that?
There is Legislation regarding non-voting. If you are registered to vote, you must vote.
But here, the Rule is to only vote for the first 5 candidates in the nominated photos.
No, Lookin, don't vote for the first 5 listed.....Make your mark on the first 5 you think are the best candidates.
Ooops, Lookin, number them from 1-5 (meaning 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) in the order you vote.

19 AA Clouds Above South Georgia Island......The first of those that actually came up with favourite photo I have seen as against those that are "favourite photo I have taken." I do give him credit for folowing the theme title. ---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----
20 Abagail a different view of Niagara Falls...okay, following on from that.........
Okay, voting for this one is open for a bit longer than the Federal Elctions. You have until Midnight AEST Saturday 7 September to manage to get your name crossed off the register.
The only reason for dragging this out is because I thought someone else was doing it. And then I do have a commitment next Saturday which means I will maybe have the Sunday to relax and think about doing the counting.
In saying that, Spetember will be a cramped month for photos and voting.
But Spring in in the air and more chance of you all getting to those Atomic Bomb Sites for those great photos.
wash2u: 20 Abagail a different view of Niagara Falls21 Abagail The illuminated Danube River in Budapest, HungaryThe Blue Danube has to be my most faurorite waltz. Abagail, you have picked up 2 points in my assessment before I even try counting the votes.
Thank you, Wash... Being on the Danube was amazing. I smile when I look at the photos, because it took me back to when I was there.
My vote in order of preference is--- 16 Diggadavo Favourite Spot 17 Wash Paroo River 8 10ccJudy Frozen mountains and Autumn 5 Robplum Snakes togetherness 7 LiLee Yachts at Peace

wash2u: My Lovely Lady, you are the first to vote, and done it easy for me to register your vote.
Now if only the others have the same way .......
I am working somewhere on Saturday but not supposed to tell where.....
The Rules are very simple in that "voting" but it is surprising how many stuff up the important one.
Simple put, Abagail has done this one correctly, the way "She who must be obeyed" and myself have tried for so long.
I might even changed the "Winning Candidate" this time to "He/She who stuffs it first."
I do like to learn from previous errors, Wash. Thank you for being so kind though.
I no longer work at booths like I did once, but I applaud that you stand behind your beliefs. I found that the day at booths was interesting but someone draining.
... And I am focusing on my next trip away. While Hungary, Germany, Ireland etc are fresh in my mind still... it never hurts to refresh my memories and travel again.
No, Lookin, don't vote for the first 5 listed.....Make your mark on the first 5 you think are the best candidates.Ooops, Lookin, number them from 1-5 (meaning 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) in the order you vote.

This is hard enough
You were not the first to do this to me (you are the butt-kick Epirb). I see an order, I do realise how these are voted for. Please do not enter extra numbers (or comments or..... spam Lookin)
