I really liked this image as a transition in the DFW Metro Metronimo thread. This was an honorable mention from me.

Hi, I’m an administrator for a group called Two Week’s Notice, and we’d love to have this photo added to the pool – it’s perfect for our current theme – “Summer Verano Haf Simmer Sommer Zumer Sumar”.
