Finally managed to get this shot. Conditions could have been bit better though. -18 with quite nice wind gave some challenge =).

This is 3 shot vertical panorama picture.

Had to add another one. Half moon and northern lights gave nice light to the frozen swamp scenery.

Finally made my way out of the house and caught this plumber at work on Christmas. :rolleyes:

My title...Drafty

I thought I'd try to do something epic for my first submission this year. Hopefully it'll be worth the handcuff burns, 10 hours in a holding cell, bail and sizable retainer for legal counsel.

Usually the forum slows down this time of year...but seriously, I am lovin' the quality and variety of the pictures this week.

This week is really tough. I really like "the getaway", "laces out", and the blue jay. They are so different that it is difficult to place one over another. This week I'm a leg man and will give the nod to Jerry's "Laces Out." Honorable mention to Joel and Sean.
