I don't think we've done this one before. Any famous landmark will do. If you're not sure, just ask!

Rules:
Playing this tournament is simple:

A tournament involves 11 different members max.
The winner of the last tournament will give a theme, and those who want to participate will post their pictures (Only one per person). Please, No more than eleven participants total.

When all participants have entered their picture in the tournament (please submit a link along with your picture), I will then create another thread to vote on the pictures via a poll. Located in the Off Topic sub forum.

New Rules:
- No spot saving; you will only be counted if you have a picture submitted.
- Only one picture may be posted at a time, if you decide to change it, please edit the original post.
- No posting an image that has previously won a competition.

So in brief:
- Users who wish to participate please post your image within this thread followed by a link to the image source.
- After eleven participants have entered the tournament, a second thread will be made with a poll to vote on the pictures.
- If entering a slightly computer manipulated photo, please post the original along with it so users who are voting can see the difference.

Winners will simply be the one who gets the most votes. He/she will then create another thread in which they propose a different theme for the next tournament.

Please resize your pictures to no larger than 1280 x 1024.
This tournament will have 4 days of voting.

You are permitted to change your image but if you could just change the URL in your original post and leave an edited comment with it.

Here's mine (Eiffel Tower):

Out of all the pictures I've ever seen of the Eiffel Tower, that is an angle I've never seen.

Well, this isn't a "famous" landmark... It's famous to the locals, and pretty much every tourist that visits the Big Bend area of Texas will visit here...

The cemetery at Terlingua Ghost Town, TX:

Oh hey, I do have a picture of something famous :P

The Parliament Building in Ottawa

2 cameras ago...seems like yesterday though
 
Would the badlands be considered a national landmark? Probably not >< its a national park.. Actually I have an interesting shot of Mt Rushmore, see if I can't get that up r/q.

Got it off of facebook for now, so don't hate on the quality :)

I'll hopefully get up a better quality version in a bit.

I like Speedy's shot :good:

Unfortunately when we went to DC last year I broke my camera right before the trip, so I have nothing to enter from that :(
 
I might have to head up to sydney and snap a shot or two of the harbour bridge or the opera house :)
