 The helicopter launching and landing pad in Upper Beaver Meadows, RMNP. Used for alpine rescue and fire fighting efforts.

For those who will not see "uniqueness", a helicopter pad in a glacial valley is unique, as is the view from the pad.

I have agreed to ALWAYS ignore the comments from "two" people, in case anyone was wondering why I didn't mark their comments as helpful. They are entitled to their votes and opinions, but they are to be ignored forever and always.

Seems like a unique POV to me. I guess those who claim DNMC have a helipad in their yard.

Must be my misunderstanding of this challenge. I guess I didn't understand what a "unique" point of view was.

Ok Richard, I commented on it because I knew it was yours because why...you emailed it to me? You send me a pm I didn't get telling me which one was yours? Get over it man. I made comments on many pics this challenge. And if you are ignoring me, why do you keep bringing it up? As for my comment, it may be a unique feature, but it is not a unique point of view in my opinion. Sorry you don't like my way of seeing it. Had you been taking off in a helicopter and catch this at the right angle, THAT would be a unique point of view. Nice clean photo, though. Regardless, I gave you a 5, right in the middle for nice and clean photo.

Adjusting scores....up 1 pt for now.

Would go higher but compared to the other images, this does not really show a UNIQUE POV. It looks the same as if I would just walk up to the pad and take a photo.
