Thanks Mod Barbara for putting this contest 2gether!
Member's please VOTE for your favorite!

 

Voting is still going on for the photo contest also!!!

 

Not feeling the love on this one!?!?!?!
Well shucks I was lucky to get this photo, taken. The weather cleared and I was home a brief time, the wife had surgery, she made me haul more dog gone mulch than I have ever put out 106 bags of that stuff, my back was all done.
Anyway I have not voted yet, I rarely vote for myself. If I entered the contest that is my vote.
I do like photo #1 by GTHSS though good subject matter and composition for sure.
A quick thank you to who ever voted for my pic

 

Thanks Drivernumber3! I did not vote for myself either.

That's a cool looking warehouse in your pic, the chimney is rather attractive. I almost submitted a pic of my Monte in front of an old tobacco warehouse. After I took the picture and was driving off I saw some vulgar graffiti on the wall. When I got home sure enough the graffiti was readable in the pic. I despise low life graffiti idiots.

 

This Warehouse is something one of the fellows in town has fixed up and it is now kind of a private club. Once a week they have a get together there. I have been told it has a fully stocked bar, pool tables and other stuff. The ultimate man C.... Warehouse. lol

 

Voted!
I also like the warehouse in drivernumber3's entry. Now that I've heard the rest of the story I like it better.

Way back before the tourists took over the town there was a restaurant/bar called Capone's Warehouse on Cannery Row. Looked legit until you went in the front door where there was a room with pinball machines and a phone booth. The phone booth was fake, was really a door to the bar. Good times growing up in Monterey.

 

Hi `Dale, I think your look a like Dale would vote for himself. He always went for the win.

Quote:

"I'd vote for myself, because I'm a winner

I was taught to believe in myself & if I had your talent at taking pictures, I would believe in them and vote for them.

If I had a Monte Carlo & it was in a contest, I'd believe it was a winner & I would Vote for it. Does that sound selfish. Not to me, I strive to be a winner at everything I do. I fail a lot, but I don't give up.

Everyone is programed or taught different then the rest. Wish you good wins in your life & I hope your back is OK...

Peace/Out from `Mike

 

Now I like the warehouse even more too!

 

Here is an old photo you might recognize.



The Tracks lead towards Cannery Row if you go to the left. The Presidio is behind and up the hill.
I used to make this trip during the summer to go to the Pool in PG. when the road goes up to Lighthouse Ave. and the lower road ? turned towards Cannery row I would walk that distance to the pool. They may have called it New Monterey.
Along the street back in the 60's some kid hopped up on the sidewalk and pulled a switchblade on me.
