I didn’t enter this challenge, but would love to vote. Anyone have any idea where it stands? Forum moderators?

Hey Lou,just now seeing this. I’ve been out of the country (in Ecuador!) with my family, but will be back home today. I will set up the voting thread tonight. Thanks for being patient—plenty of good submissions!

Ecuador!!?? What types of trees did you see over there? Sounds like an adventure.

I hope you had an astoundingly WONDERFUL time on your trip! I'm always surprised by how much even little kids remember. Showing them photos sometimes helps. A photo or two for us would be nice for those who've never visited Ecuadore, such as me.

I could overload the forum and bore so many people with thousands of photos from beautiful spots in Europe, UK, and elsewhere. Here's just one from short walk in Costa Rica. Well, four pictures, with my typical way of cheating.



Or this one I saw in Scotland, I need to put on up by my gate:



Hey, a Vacation Photo thread in OFF TOPIC would be interesting. Pictures of trees, animals, landscapes - There is more to all our lives than spinning wood. (Of course, I met a guy recently who had never been more than 100 miles from where he was born... It's makes one wonder about the way they view the world they've never seen.)

Awesome photos! Costa Rica is on my list. Ecuador was an amazing place for a lot of reasons. I’ll definitely creat an off-topic thread about the trip ASAP.

Equador is a diverse country. We’ve been lucky to have visited 3 times
Andes, rainforest, the coast, an the Galapagos

In the Andes Coatapaxi volcano

Vermilion flycatcher in the Galapagos

Went on a crazy trip to the cuyabano flood forest in 1989
These dugouts were our transport


Piranha for dinner one night

Great pics Al! Looks like some wonderful experiences. Those dugouts are impressive (as are the piranha teeth!). Galapagos Islands are still on the bucket list, and definitely a good reason for at least one more trip back.
