Default A Pleasant Surprise



Imagine my surprise when shopping at my favorite camera store, Arlington Camera, to find the above image of mine had placed second in the Landscape category in the yearly photograph challenge.

Very, very nice. Good work -- you deserve recognition!

I like Arlington Camera, too, by the way. (I live in Grand Prairie)

Congratulations! Did you get a discount on any gear for coming in second?
