Hi,

To cut a long story short I am married to Canadian girl. I took a photo at the In Laws ranch at Maple Creek Saskatchewan of 'the old house / water pump' when on first visit to ranch in 2006.

The photgraph has now been entered into a local Maple Creek online competition, linky:

http://www.maplecreek.ca/

(click 'gallery', then my photo is the black and white one (Andrew Tuft))

Now I'm not claiming it is the best, there are better and by god there are some which are alot worse on there. All I am asking is if you think it is 'okay' please vote (once your vote is submitted it will take you to the poll site to show my current standing in the competition), I just like the thought of a Irish lad beating the locals in Maple Creek!! They are nice people btw!

The big bonus is that whatever prize I win will go to a local charity, via my in-laws, in Maple Creek or surrounding area.

Ta,

andy

Prefer your photo but Marg Perrin is well in the lead!

let's hope they don't track voters IP addrtesses and spot a load of UK ones for you…

Ta Nuke.

Hope you voted 😉

It's open to all countries wwaswas. 🙂

well I voted for you 'cos yours was the best pic 🙂

Down for you 🙂

Lets crush Marg Perrin 🙂

Cheers guys 🙂

Done, come on 38 more votes FTW!

what the hell, one more vote from me.

Another voter there for you, it's getting closer

You got my vote 🙂

Only 12 behind after my vote!

10 votes in it…come on people 🙂

8 behind now, when does it end??

Only 5 to go! 😀

…and another.

only one to go now…

Both are level with my vote 😀

in the lead by two now

Comfortably in the lead now.

Of course, if they have any sense they'll be doing 'came from' information from their website and will see that they've got a large number of hits from this thread which they then may quite legitimately use to decide that you tried to fix the vote and DQ you…

FWIW, I voted for yours as I thought it was clearly the best of the three.

+6 now!

LOL !

Marg'll be pissed off though – wonder if she'd kill a man ?

My guess is that the other person has also been canvassing votes so I don't think they'll be a DQ.

MArk says stw gets 300,000 unique visitors each week. You could end up with quite a tally…

Voted for you! Great shot.

Please can you vote for me in return?
