This is a great theme for a photo contest, it's just one that might take some more prep & planning than usual.

Okay, I've got one! Here's mine:


Taken at the Strategic Air & Space Museum southwest of Omaha. They've got these three big Air Force missiles set up right by the entrance. The one with the red parts on it is an Atlas ICBM, the first one for the U.S., going back to the late Fifties. (Don't worry, I don't think they're armed and dangerous anymore! )

Excellent, love the submissions.

Wanted to post again, the deadline for submissions is NOT tonight it is midnight Pacific time tomorrow night, Sat. the 18th of July.

Sorry things get a bit confusing out there, been doing a few things and did not have my thinking cap on.

Great job everyone! Keep em coming in!
