Images: Photo Contest Finalists
This photo was taken in Ketchikan, Alaska while on an Alaska cruise. I happened to look up at a second-story window and saw these 3 dogs watching the tourists go by, the one in the middle being extra cool.

This picture was taken while vacationing in Colorado at the Ice Castles in Silverthorne, near Breckinridge. The ice formations are man-made formed by fusing icicles together to create a lattice of icicles upon which water is sprayed resulting in the magnificent ice castles. I particularly like this picture because the person in the foreground (my friend, Paula) lends perspective to the actual height of the formation. I also like the image of the tall evergreen through the opening in the ice castle.

I took this picture a few years ago walking through Paris. I really like this nighttime view of the Musée du Louvre through the Louvre Pyramid. When youre there during the day its hard to imagine a time when its so peaceful and quiet.

I took this picture in Door County Wisconsin two years ago. I dont remember the name of the road, but it is well known to artists and picture takers.
