FIRST PLACE goes to

A Tree of Trains by Dyedinthewoolliberal






SECOND PLACE goes to

Moonrise by rdking647






THIRD PLACE goes to

Down the Rows by NV Whino

And finally, my apologies for not being able to include the photo which tied for 10th place (and lost the coin toss)
in the FINALS because DU polls only have room for 10 spots

Tunnels Within Tunnels - Mendota, MN by The Velveteen Ocelot


Thanks to all the photographers who entered photos in this contest! It was so much fun to see how everyone
treated the theme, and especially entertaining to see the humor displayed by some of the entries.



The winner of the October Contest--Dyedinthewoolliberal--will be responsible for hosting next month's photo contest.

but as we all know the best place to finish in these contests is second place...
The picture, by the way, is an example of why I carry a camera on the plane and always book window seat. Having said that, this was entirely a lucky shot. I didn't not know what I had until I downloaded the photos.

I'll survey the crowd in a few days for a November subject.
Thanks to all who participated whether by photo or by vote.

and to all participants.
And a shout out to mnhtnbb for choosing a great theme, and for running a contest with care and like a pro.
I think the three winners were again proving to me that the GD family knows how to pick them, I find that most times they hone in on the most satisfying photos and chose them!

You picked a really interesting theme and did a great job hosting.

We couldn't decide where Dyedinthewoolliberal must have been standing to get that Train Tree pic...my man guessed up in a tower and I thought on a bridge, so we were both wrong, ha!

Congratulations to all three top winners! (and kudos go to every entry; they were all too neat)
