European Photo Contest - Semifinals - VOTING ENDS SATURDAY, 10PM CDT!

Apologies for the delay in tallying Round 2's votes; I went to Des Moines yesterday and tired myself out.

The biggest developments in Round 2 were:

1) Hamish the Highland Cow suffered a bitter defeat at the hands of Walter and Sara in s'Hertogenbosch - the deciding vote was cast by Walter's fiancee. If Walter had been sporting the beard he was wearing a couple of years ago, she may have had trouble telling them apart, but luckily she had no trouble exercising her vote. Say goodbye to Hamish!

2) Bath is well-represented in the semifinals, with its abbey and its famous bridge going up against each other. Both photos won 6-3 in their round two matchups, so it will be interesting to see which one prevails now.

3) There was a tie between the shadows over the Isle of Skye and the shot of Loch Ness (because my brother abstained from voting for either of them and requested to bring back the sheep photo); I broke it in favor of Loch Ness.

Voting for the semifinals ends Saturday night! To make it easy, you can vote in the comments on this post:

Semifinal 1:
Bath Abbey
Pulteney Bridge on the River Avon

Semifinal 2:
Loch Ness (but no monster)
Walter and Sara in s'Hertogenbosch
Vote early and vote often! Your vote could decide who will win and who will be sent to the recycling bin in disgrace.

Look's like Walter will end up a winner in another photo contest. It's amazing that out of so many gorgeous photos, we end up here. Ahh, parental pride!
