knockout. At first I didn't see the little note saying 'POP'. A grand image.

@RHYS: thanks rhys. i always wonder if people know what 'pop' is.

just wonderful -- for me what sticks out in excellent composition are the wonderful contrasts of dark and light (which you always achieve so marvelously) but also the beautiful textures of trees and old wood... gorgeous feeling here -- and you have chosen this meditative moment to take the picture -- timeless and priceless as a result. stunning!

The light seems to hit it like a beacon. Interesting looking place.

I'll wait for it to open so I can get a cold one! :D

@P.J.: it's open eight days a year, but it's worth the wait!

You got a very interesting graphic going here, layers of boxes surrounding the wooden board in the center. I would be so disappointed if they sell soda from a fountain but not bottled pops. Nice shot.

@Howard F.: thanks howard. sorry to disappoint you, but i think it's cans in a cooler for this stand...

Love the tones here. I almost said, especially in the background, but that's not really true --all over.
