This image is a tribute to Bear_Music's 20th Anniversary blue ribbon entry, 20:
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find a parking log with enough grunge and contrast? And then try and have only 20 vehicles parked there. I scoured through Google Earth looking for adequate locations. I launched the drone no less than a dozen times. I tried inviting people to park in a lot and fill it up. I tried everything. I finally decided that having more vehicles would be OK still.

Wow! Thank you for the kind comments and votes. I didnt expect to do this well, and there were so many other good images I was competing against.
When I first read the challenge criteria I knew I needed to review Bears entries and find something that might come close to what he would enter himself. There were so many good photos to choose from, but when I found his original I knew that was the one. I dont live near the ocean so all of the boat pictures wouldnt be an option.
Anyway, what a fun time looking at the area I live in and imagining what someone with real photographic and art talent would do!

I laughed out loud when I saw this! The deja vu of it is so eerie I had to go check if someone had just copied my parking lot shot and entered it :-) 9 from me.
That's long way down! And I think this photo will appeal to Robert. The pattern (rhythm) of it and composition is really fun.
Wish I knew the significance of the title but I'm probably missing some good story there... 8
Well done. The top down drone shot. So easy to do, yet so hard to find a really impactful composition. This really works with the rows of cars. white lines, and tree all complimenting each other. As a nit, perhaps clone out the rightmost arrow which points/takes you out of the frame. Or under extended rules flip it to curve back into the image. :)
