    The "Brochure" challenge

    Here's my idea for a challenge:

    Give me a series of photos like you might put into a vacation destination brochure, and try to "sell" the vacation destination to me using the pictures. Maybe put them in the order I might see them in the brochure.

    For this challenge, the pictures don't have to be artistic, but they do have to communicate to me why I would want to go to this particular place. As a cohesive group they should tell a story of what my experience at that destination might be.

    It doesn't have to be a "popular" vacation resort, either. It could be your backyard, or a local park, or a farm, or someplace that would appeal to a person with a specialized interest. But put it together in such a way that I might be tempted to visit and check it out.

    Have fun! And "sell" me a vacation spot!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Here's mine:





    Stay and ski at beautiful BEAVER CREEK, Colorado!

    I accept your challenge...This one is for all those who love religion and conflict...

    ~Visit Israel! Land of milk, honey, and matzah balls!~

    Jerusalem, holy to all three of the world's major monotheistic religions!






    Beautiful Tel Aviv...Modern, Metropolitan, and Mediterranean...



    And be sure not to miss Masada and the Dead Sea!




    I don't know how to put this, but...I'm kind of a big deal...People know me.

    Five, I showed your "brochure" to some friends of mine, and they said you sold them! Especially the shot of Tel Aviv.

    Tel Aviv is probably the most enjoyable city I've ever been to. If I had the money, I'd move there yesterday....Here's some more snaps...

    yup, this is about ten miles south of dublin in the wicklow mountains. The photos don't do it justice, it's such a peaceful and beautiful place
