***APRIL PHOTO CONTEST Preliminary Thread 1***

Our theme for the April Photo Contest is DU Travels. It is often said that travel allows people to broaden their horizons, to be exposed to customs and concepts beyond their 'home' circle. Photographers were asked to submit photos of landscapes or landmarks or people or events where they'd traveled, at least 100 miles from where they live, in order to share a travel experience with us.

Preliminaries will run for 72 hours. Please vote for your favorite in all three threads
