I will let others decide on this one, but the "big rock" is not what was required. A boulder was. Like I said, I will let others decide if that would be considered a boulder or a hillside/small mountain.

Ok, I'll try again

Are there extra points for the number of years we go prior to 1965?

You actually get points deducted - it's a Ford

Here's waht I managed to take pics of this past weekend...

A 20+ story building. Manulife Place is currently the tallest building here in Edmonton at 36 floors.

A Coffee shop/stand. Your typical Starbucks coffee shop.

A military vehicle. Whatever.....

An amphitheater. Maybe one of two in all of Edmonton. Our summer is short so indoor venues tend to dominate in the middle of winter.

A capital (government) building. Yes, we are the captial city of Alberta, and that's our capital building in the background. Security wouldn't let me get closer to it but if you're part of a wedding party photo shoot.... hmmmm

A 'signature' power plant (like a dam, nuclear plant, etc). The three stacks in the background are part of the decommissioned, historically designated EPCOR Rossdale Power Plant which was built back in the 1930's.

Its looking good so far. So far there are a few of you in the standings, but nothing truly defined yet to depict a winner this early.

Still plenty of more time if you want to get in on this. Hope to see more pictures soon.

So a state park would be acceptable?

 

[Geoff]

Oh crap! I think you are right, I thought it said state for some reason....I'll go to the Arch and correct this.

 

[jazzpaintball]

So a state park would be acceptable?

I would count that, I was just looking for a state/national/government run park sign. Although if others think that it is not an acceptable alternative, let us know. At the moment, I would count it, but it may change.

I'd say yes

 

[jazzpaintball]

Well with no other replies, State parks are and will be an acceptable alternative.

Travis, I know this one won't count, but honestly this is the tallest building in Colorado Springs! (I googled it)!
And I know a big horn sheep is not exactly unique to Colorado, but I really don't know of any animal that is! And since I went out today & sweated my a** off to get these, I'm gonna post them anyway! :blowkiss:

The second pic, you have to look at the very top of the rock in the background, the sheep really is there!

I've been around trying to get more of these pictures, I have a couple more but I do not have the camera with me right now.

I had these in my computer already but did not have an opportunity to upload them.

A 20+ story building (I had to go all the way to downtown Orlando. The heat and the traffic was not very pleasant!!!!)

An Amphitheater (same trip to downtown Orlando)

It is not easy to find alligators sunbathing now days (it is too hot) and I have only spot some small ones, but I have not been on the bike!!!!!
If I get a better picture (with a real alligator) then I'll swap them

Sorry I'm in the hospital. I was cut in half trying to measure the blades of a giant windmill. Good thing I had a roll of Gorilla Tape handy to tape myself together to get to the hospital.

Saved my life.

I will count the big horn sheep. Being a Rocky Mountain State, I will count that without a second guess. As far as the building, How many stories is it? I may count it if it is close, but if it is only 12 or so stories, I can not count it to be fair with all of the contestants.
