Photo of the Year
It’s Theme Day again and as it’s January it’s “Photo of the Year” time. I choose my image from The Grand Prix of Silver Spring. It may not be the most technically correct image but it was a great afternoon.
Today also marks one year of posting images from Silver Spring. Thanks to everyone who has visited and for the comments.

Excellent action shot, I almost backed up when I saw it! I can hear the camera skidding across the ground behind me!

Wow! That is a fantastic shot! You got in there at the right moment. Did the cyclists run you over?
Sorry I wasn’t able to visit your blog sooner. I was in transit the whole of yesterday. I am now back in Norwich after the most fantabulous time at home in Manila. Do swing by my other sites to leave your footprints behind. Read: lovely comments.
Happy New Year to you and everyone you hold dear!
I look forward to visiting your blog more often this 2008. And you’re welcome to mine, too! For some reason, my link was not included for participating blogs for the 1st of January 2008.
