MAY PHOTO CONTEST- THEME!

[bluedigger]

No sense waiting and wondering for your next assignment, intrepid DU photographers! The May photo contest theme will be...

"Scene at a National Register of Historic Places site!" I want you all to get off your butts, get out, and go somewhere! You can find a list of places to go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_National_Register_of_Historic_Places_listings

There are more than 80,000 locations available, so start planning where you are going to go now! You have the next three weekends to do your best! I will start the submission thread on May 11 and we'll go from there. Standard rules will apply. I don't expect a bunch of architectural studies, but if that is your thing, go for it! I will want to know where you were, so make a note. For our overseas members, try to find a local national equivalent, or at least some place of historical significance. And please remember that many of the locations are privately owned and respect the owner's property rights!

Here is a shot I took at the Francois Cousins House (c.1794) on Bayou Liberty in Slidell, LA last month:




Good Luck and Have Fun!
