No it was flowing. There was a lil wind soo it appeared to be almost “misty” half way down from where we were. Was a good morning

Yep. El cap is above my big head, and half dome is 2 peaks over in the right.

True, thanks @neph93 and @jordanscollected for putting this together!

[neph93]

After quite a bit of deliberation and discussion @Giles @Alex @jordanscollected and myself have arrived at a conclusion.

The awards for best pic and best portfolio were especially difficult and there were a number of contenders for each.

Here is our final decision:

1. Best portfolio - @weftyarn

True to the theme, varied original content and motifs, all round excellent effort

2. Best individual pic - @mitchellvilla

For this insanely cool shot:

3. Funniest pic - @Kasi

For this:

Because we’re scared what might happen if we don’t give him something [emoji38]

Congratulations gents!

Thanks to everyone who took part. This was mostly about getting to know each other a little better, and that has been achieved by all you good folks in quite some style. This is a wonderful thread for the ages.

[Kasi]

Thanks everyone….  It was fun.

[popvulture]

That's pretty smart — clearly @Kasi would haunt your dreams if he wasn't appeased

[goosehd]

Congratulations to all of the participants.  We were all winners because of your efforts.  Thank you!

Congratulations to all the winners! This was a fun week. Glad to see the lives of everyone who participated.

[Jett129]

A well deserved congratulations to everyone that participated. I’ve become a big fan of @weftyarn photography on the photography thread,so I’m happy to see that he won. So many great pictures and stories.

[Nik]

Great result, congratulations to the well deserved winners and thanks to the organisers. That was fun.

[henry_david]

Loved following along to this series! I'd love to see this happen a couple of times a year tbh. Thank you everyone who put this on and who submitted photos 

[vaquero357]

…Bravo! Bravo! Encore! Encore!

[ARNC]

Nothing really to add to the congratulations and thanks except more of the same. Even for people (like me) who never had any prospects this was a lot of fun.

[weftyarn]

Wow!!! this came unexpected, really. There were so many phenomenal contributions!

I don’t even know what to say except that I just feel honored and happy.
This has really quickly turned from a contest into just having fun and getting to know each other.

Already looking forward to many more threads and posts
and maybe even making it to Gosport for the 20th anniversary

Thanks, y’all!
