    It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area called downtown Grand Haven.

        This is going to be a tough one....

        Here are the week's pics for tomorrow's voting assuming we don't have one squeak in here in the next few hours. If so I'll edit this post to include it. Some were tiny and hard to see so I made 'em bigger. I just realized how hard it is to see the super large images. When I posted my entry for this week from Flikr I chose the meduim/ large format. Even that seems too big so next time I'll use the smallest of the large or maybe the largest medium option. Boy that's confusing, bottom line- big pics are hard to see.

          I like Bob Baatfam's pic as best GS picture for many reasons.

          But for the category-subject-theme of "downtown", I have to choose Jedz for my vote.
          DB and Storm got top considerations too, in addition to mine.

            Voting for Jedz as well. It reminds me of riding thru those old northeast / mid atlantic small towns. Sometimes just a few blocks long, sometimes looking a little tired, always interesting.

            I love bccap's as well, but took the instructions as photographed in town.
            Baatfam's is a cool shot of our beloved GSs, and I like the out of focus background. FYI, Willie owns Joe Nardy's beautiful 1100..... and he is stingy with pics......

                I thought both storm 64’s and bccap’s were beautiful city skyline pictures.
                And while I like them, I wasn’t really shown the downtown area, which I took to be the theme.
                And I love the B&W treatment on bccaps, with that old time, film grain look. Beautiful sky, also.

                Burgue73, Sandy, Trevor, Redman, and Jedz, all showed me what I see in my mind when I hear “downtown.”
                And Burgue and Sandy, I loved the colors in both your pictures.

                Tough choice this week, but I am going with Jedz123.

                Even though it is lit with hash, mid-day sun, Jedz still got a nice shot.
                The sky is interesting, and the building and sidewalk form one large pleasing triangle.
                The color of everything in the picture is somewhat muted, except the two helmets, which pulls my eyes back to the bikes.

                Jedz, you might want to straighten the buildings…Just sayin’

                    Jedz gets my vote. It's what I would expect to see in a downtown shot.

                      I'm going to vote for BURQUE this week. I just love clean southwestern towns.

                      After posting my picture and then seeing other people's pictures. I realised I should have taken the picture "Downtown". The lights are much brighter there. You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares. Things'll be great when your "Downtown" ...

                        The "Gotham" looking shot with downtown off in the distance from Garth gets my vote.

                          I wish I had stopped on Monday when I came home from Illinois as I had a couple of good views; unfortunately the best one was of a courthouse under construction.

                            I too have to go with Garth's. I like the use of perspective and black and white. Looks like he's got lots of votes and am a bit worried about next weeks photo ....... don't have any photos with pizza

                              So?
                              Who won?
                              What was the score?
                              Who keeps score?
                              What's the new theme?
                              Is Garth and BCCAP the same person?

                              Looks to me like Jedz123 won this week. Can I get a second on that?

                                Yes we're the same person.... Jedz gets my vote. I like the perspective and the angle of the shot up the hill.......
