Without further ado

Church of the Good Shepherd, New Zealand by Grumpy Old Guy



SECOND PLACE goes to:

Dawn, Upper Yosemite Falls Trailhead by Mz Pip



THIRD PLACE goes to:

Midnight Sun, 12:08 AM, Norway by none other than also Mz Pip!



As Host, I am privileged to award Honorable Mention to a DU'er I had the privilege to meet--almost 10 years ago-- when we were both traveling in France and our itineraries happened to coincide in Strasbourg!

But damn, that “Breakfast in Paris” really makes we want to go there just to give it a try.

Congratulations to Grumpy Old Guy and to Mz Pip.
Two wins for her, that is so awesome!!!!!

I am enchanted by the winning photos, and also by other photos I see.
I Iove that mnhtnbb listed the names of other entrants.
She is a very accomplished hostess.

Never has a contest gone by so quickly that I missed the entry window.
The entries were already turned into voting threads and voted on before I noticed.
Fastest contest ever. I have not missed one in many years of participating.
