Challenge: Famous Last Words (Basic Editing) Camera: Nikon D80 Lens: Tokina AF 12-24mm f/4.0 AT-X Pro DX Location: Verde River, Arizona Date: Nov 25, 2006 Aperture: f5.6 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/250 Galleries: Humorous, Nature Date Uploaded: Nov 26, 2006 Add photograph to your favorites Add photographer to your favorites	I came across this Land Rover that had attempted to cross the Verde River at Sheep's Crossing in Arizona. I guess after mastering the wilds of the shopping malls in Scottsdale, he decided he was ready for some real adventures! Wonder what the call to the insurance company will be like...

LOVE it! But isn't it a RANGE Rover, which is much more expensive and environmentally guilty than the Land Rover? Perhaps Mother Nature wished to assert herself here. In any case, glad to hear no Range Rovers were harmed during the making of this picture... or am I? Very clever, very pertinent and a dynamic composition to boot!

I've been there too, a brand new Ford Eplorer, only 400 miles and it didn't swim very good either.

I know that the blue ribbon is important, but was it really neccessary to drown your car?!? Nice shot by the way, my regards to your wallet.

No Way! I hope you didn't do that to your car just for a picture to enter in a contest that doesn't pay you any money to replace it!

If there was an award for "shot that best met the challenge," this would have to be it! That's hilarious (although less so for the owner, I'm sure!)
