    Beautiful work, and great title. I like the composition, particularly the trees on the right which come closer to the foreground.

    Hard believe such a cool find was smack in the middle of where it was. (Trust me folks…she couldn’t have gone an inch wider on this shot without losing the feeling of this.)

    Yep, every Warrior was there, even though they didn’t know it!

    (Excuse me…bet….cheeseburger….owed….waiting…)

    LOL! He’s right…just to the right is someone’s backyard, just to the left is the dumpster and if I remember right a shed or carport or something, and then just in front of it started the edge of the parking lot…sheesh!

    As for cheeseburgers, well, I can’t help you there…I already got you one and that wasn’t my bet! ;-p Ms. C on the other hand…

    Is this a golf course Leslie? that’s one might bunker. Get stuck in there & your games over.
    FOUR!! Just back from a short break, spent a lot of time on a golf course. Everythings golf now. Kept getting hit with golf balls.
    Mother nature will re-claim the planet long after we’ve gone, interesting location. Neat shot!!
