Thanks very much for picking one of mine. Some great photos in that selection. It’s going to be hard to choose.

[VbFolly]

Thanks for including one of mine, Lori.

[NYCat]

Thank you for including my (stuffed) polar bear. This has been a really fun challenge. Interesting to see so many places.

 

Paulette

[Cecile Marion]

Many thanks for including one of mine, Lori!

edit: Finally looked up Iphofen because of the runaway voting 😁.

Geräthengasse (Google Maps) or Gerätengasse (city map):

and here on Alamy (961 in total - and I had never heard of it) at least 2 with a glimpse of the same street.

If I ever come near it again (-passed it by train), I have to visit the Knauf gypsum plaster cast museum. (youtube videos).

Looking at the cars, it was probably taken quite a while ago.

Thanks for including one of mine! Always encouraging to make the cut, but also pleased to see that the task of organising the next round is going elsewhere.......

I enjoyed it LOL. It was not as hard as I expected--the set-up and posting, at least. Deciding on a topic and the finalists was harder!

[Marianne]

Thanks for choosing one of mine - we're there now on vacation. 🏖⛵️

Thank you! I've been waiting for an official announcement that voting has closed, but the OP seems to have gone AWOL. If no-one has any objection, I'll set a new topic later today.

Ahhh, good! I’ve been checking every day for the announcement. And a hearty congratulations to you for a great image that captures life in a small town. It’s perfect.

Great image.  Well deserved win.

I am so, so sorry! I have been away visiting family (first time since COVID) and this just fell off my radar. Congrats on your win, Alan!
