Since it is an electrical coop calendar I have included quite a few shots of power lines. The contest rules are a horizontal photo with no people and the photo must be taken within their service area.
Please leave me a comment with your choices to help me narrow it down.

Ack that is a bunch of photos. I will have a hard time deciding…help me please.
Oh my, Connie, all the pictures are just beautiful and it would be a very hard choice! I think that if it is a calendar for electric company I would want one with the power lines but that is up to you. I really had a hard time deciding but I think I would pick # 8 or 23 with power lines and if not then I would go with #28 because that one would look awesome on a calendar! I love them all though and it was a really hard choice!
ReplyDeleteGoodness - they need a 3 year calendar!!
ReplyDeleteOther than #19 which I wouldn't want to look at for a month - they are all "worthy" (in my opinion). I would select 24 over 25 and omit 16, 26 and 30 (but that's just my feeble opinion!)
I do like #19 but only if it was small - - - like on a day of the week. My choices - - - first impressions - - - #3-Trees at sunset #8 Sunset/Prairie. #2 Five Deer. #5 Road Home. #7 Double Rainbow & Road #10 Power Poles Road Home #11 Chance #13 Snow Drifts #23 Sunflowers & Sky #29 Lady Slippers I like many of the others, too but the above jumped out at me strongest. I like some of the turkey shots but like the clarity of others better.
ReplyDeleteHaving lived with a line-foreman all my married life; now he is a board member for our local REA Electric company (the same company he worked for for 37 years--I pick all the ones with the power lines in them. I can't speak for your Electric Company, but ours here are always looking for dramatic photos of linemen working on the lines, the power lines themselves, and the community that they serve.
ReplyDeleteOur REA-Delta Montrose Rural Electric loves photos that showcase the "rural" aspect of line work (the basis of what electric companies are all about) and shots of really complicate city work. So with these thoughts in mind I pick all the ones with the power poles and lines in them.
So any of the following are outstanding 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 13, 22, 23--- if you only want to pick one or two of these my choice would be--23, 8, and 7.
To reflect the community they service I like 11, 15, 17, 21, 27, 30--if I had to narrow this down I pick 11--if you aren't snowy and tranquil and woodsy up there I don't know a place that is, and 17 and 27 as reflecting what I think of when I think of you!
