Photo Non-Contest #177- Favorites

So this week, Written Inc. has requested our favorite photos we've taken this year.  This would have to be mine:

This was taken early last summer at Old Deseret Village, a living history museum in Salt Lake.  It's a row of replica handcarts used every year in the 24th of July Pioneer Day parade.  
Personally, I've always thought it was stupid that Utah chronically glamorizes the handcarts, as they were the stupidest thing every dreamed up for crossing the Plains, and many, many lives were lost because of their encouraged use (my ancestors came in covered wagons, thank you very much).  But that doesn't stop me from thinking these make a pretty cool snapshot.

Photo Non-Contest #175 -- The One

"One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do......"


This is my lonely rock at Oswald State Park in Oregon for Written Inc's weekly theme.
