Very difficult! I was torn between six possibles. Shocked

Finally went for the EMT HST. Cool

No problem, Jason. Thought I ought do it before people start asking why the vote hasn't started, etc. The only problem I encountered was Matt not captioning his entries but a quick visit to his fotopic sorted that.

I haven't voted yet, I'm going to have a think about it... stumped

Had to be tug 76 for me, in the absence of superior traction. There are some very good entries this month Very Happy

I must get out with the camera again so I can start entering this competition again. Wink

Crikey, this is a hard vote...

Will have to come back in a few days (not got the Internet at home again at the moment, long story), but the choice will not be easy. As usual, lots of excellent entries.

I shall consider what sums up well the month of May this year, as well as the composition of the photographs, when I return to the forum early next week.

When you return 43019, you may well have the deciding vote at this rate - as I write this we have 3 photos tied on 3 votes each. Laughing

Well, unless the casting vote is on a HST photo... Wink

Managed to get into the library this morning for a bit, so I can cast my vote. I've ended up choosing the steamer at Alloa. Marks one of the big events in May 2008 for me and I like the atmosphere in it.

(the biggest event in May for me being the return of HSTs to XC, but merr)
