***APRIL PHOTO CONTEST FINALS***

Here are our 10 FINALISTS for the APRIL PHOTO CONTEST. (Finalists were chosen as the top three from each preliminary thread, and then the next highest across all three threads.)

Our theme for the April Photo Contest is DU Travels. It is often said that travel allows people to broaden their horizons, to be exposed to customs and concepts beyond their 'home' circle.

Please choose your favorite!
Finals will run for 72 hours. The winner will choose the theme for the May contest.

All really creative and lovely photos .

That fist in the foreground of Springsteen's concert is perfect reflection of the moment.

And I often think my traveling days are done, and then I see these places i would love to see.
Special appreciation for the pictures of Brittany and Worcester Cathedral and Turkey for making me want to check my passport expiration date, and for the gorgeous pictures of Yosemite and Crater Lake for reminding me there are marvels I can see without it.
