So delighted to take First place in the Small Towns category of your inaugural Americana Photo Contest! How astute of your judges and what good taste you have!

Abstract. 2nd Place - While on a solo cross country motorcycle trip and after turning back from a mountain pass because of ice, I was ending the day on a lonely road in Colorado as my shadow appeared on the side of the road.
