Since it is after 5 PM July 30, I assume the current 61 photos are all that will be considered? Strange that there is still an active Upload button. Looks like some great entries, good luck to everyone!

Kurt, since this is such a timely event, and submission deadline was Monday, I was wondering when the next round is slated to begin. Thanks so much!
