Okay. Now I'm ready. And now it's
time for you to decide.
As I mentioned yesterday every year
when I get back from Europe I let you guys decide which picture I
took there over there gets to be my work computer desktop photo for
the year. I always pick out a couple of semi-finalists from which
you get to choose, and I base the choice on this criteria--that I
like it enough to be able to stare at it every day for the next year.
After all, it would make no sense for me to, say, have to look at a
picture of snow or something grungy for an entire year, which is the
reason why you may notice all the pictures have a little sun or
something cheery about them. Oh, and there should be enough room for
a dozen or so icons to appear without disrupting the flow of the
picture.
Okay, with that out of the way, here
are your choices for this year, presented in the order in which I
shot them--
First, one of the cows we came across.
You know me & cows. I can't explain it, but you know me and
cows--
Next, this shot I took in the Reber
store in Bad Reichenhall. I like it for two reasons, the first being
that I didn't even look when I took the picture. It was in the
middle of a busy store, so I stuck my camera down and snapped the
shutter. I think the end result turned out pretty well.
And the other reason? Well, duh—it's
chocolate.
For whatever reason I took a lot of
flower shots this time around (perhaps because for six days we had
rain and flowers provided the only color). Out of all of them, I
chose this show from the sleepy little town of Bernau-am-Chiemsee--
Next, the iconic peaks of the Watzmann
in Berchtesgaden, taken on the first day of sun AFTER the six days of
rain & gloom--
Finally, I took (and I'm not kidding
here) over 100 shots of the fountains at Schloss Herrenchiemsee. I
just picked this one out of the bunch.
Take a look at the pictures, think it
over, and by this Friday morning please let me know which you think
should be on my computer desktop. I’ll announce the winner then,
and for the next year, that’ll be the picture that greets me every
morning when I come into work. You guys have shown great taste in
the past; I look forward to seeing what you choose this year!
