Briansnapped picture of the month

Each month I try to select one of the better pictures taken that month. This photo collection is intended to improve my skills of using my camera.

Picture of the month guidelines:
1) Photo's must be 'as shot'. No post processing allowed except perhaps cropping.
2) The picture should stand on it's own, without a caption or explanation.
3) Avoid pictures of people, unless they are totally anonymous.
(this is to protect the privacy of my victims)
