Drum roll please for the winner of the May photography contest

[Soph0571]

Wonderful competition as always. The theme was "I pulled over for this shot." Grumpy Old Guy was the theme decider and he did good.

In first place is HAB911 with the splendid Main Supply Route 1, Tongil-ro (Unification Road) DMZ to Seoul, Bukhan Mountain




Number two goes to Walleye with a stunning Winter Solstice Sunset, Philadelphia Pike, Wilmington, Delaware


And my personal favourite that came in third, by, WiVoter with a Upnorth Wisconsin Double Rainbow composition.


I am sure that you all want to give congrats.

And to everyone that took the time to get involved and to comment, the Photography Group thanks you. Please watch out for HABS theme for next month.

Please show appreciation in your marvellous DU way in the comments! Hurrah!

11. Thank You, Thank You, Than You!

With all the doom and gloom in the news, I'm feel so much better after viewing these beautiful images. Thank you to the photographers and thank you to DU for providing them to us photo challenged dummies.

[lillypaddle]

[canetoad]

18. Kick

Great shots!

[Cracklin Charlie]

19. Wow!

I don’t usually pick the winner, but I did this time.

This contest was hard. I think the theme of the contest may have made it a little more challenging. I had to keep imagining myself “pulling over” for the shot.

Congratulations to all!

[TomSlick]

21. Amazing shots.

[Tom Kitten]

26. Say

Are you at the SHF also?

[TomSlick]

35. Sorry. In that I don't know what SHF means, I'm guessing not.

[Tom Kitten]

36. Steve Hoffman Forum

It's mainly a music (and other topics but no politics ) forum. There's a TomSlick who posts there. I use part of my real name there. We've interacted. That's why I ask, just curious!

[TomSlick]

37. It must be a different guy named Tom who grew up watching the old cartoon.

You have piqued my curiosity. I'll go look.

[Tom Kitten]

38. As have you piqued mine

I love cartoons but have never heard of Tom Slick. I shall go henceforth to educate myself.

It's a pretty cool forum. Lots of knowledgeable people, well moderated.

[WiVoter]

22. Thank You For Your Kind Words Soph0571

I’m humbled, truly. It was a tough, but fun competition, however I loved browsing through the photos & just enjoying them. I’m a newbie here & this makes me feel good & welcomed. Thank you DU! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Soph0571]

59. Your photo had to be included

Dropped mine so it could be. Great shot. And welcome to DU!

[WiVoter]

60. Wow! Thank You So Much!

I don’t know what to say! ❤️

[calimary]

23. Just WUNNNNNNNNNNNNderful!

Nice capture of that double rainbow! I never saw one of those before we moved to Oregon. Never in L.A. But of course it rarely ever rained in L.A., so how could you?

[snacker]

24. Great work everyone!

Congratulations to the winners.

25. The composition of Buchan Mountain is what gives it its power.

The green harvest lies heaped under a sky of moving clouds, with lavender and purple mountains in the background. Everything in the picture talks of the temporary fruitfulness of nature, the ever-changing weather, and the never-changing mountains. Serenity poised for a moment in the midst of beauty. What we could all see if we looked.

Winter Solstice Sunset is the essence of drama, black shapes and a molten sun against a red sky. The drivers and their headlights bring the scene out of hell and into the commute. Or are they different?

Double Rainbow catches the ephemeral splendor of the natural world in the few minutes it displayed itself.

Oh, well done, everybody!

[HAB911]

29. oh my, planetc

The Korean landscape is quite lovely it would have been my second choice as I chose the dunes washed in red sunlight.

The winter solstice sunset - perfect timing, very cool!

Everyone had good stuff. 👍
