[rantercsr]

This was a tough one to decide, the win kept switching between old crow and terrypinky every time I looked at either one. Liked them both for different reasons, but...terrypinky takes the win here.

 

[OldCrow]

Congratulations Terry. Well done.

 

[Dilopix54]

Congrats Terry! Good challenge Randall

 

[madjack]

Congratulations!

Now the rest of the Story. Same County. X the Tattoo parlor had to close down and demolish building before elon Mush could change the name of Twitter to X.
Oh yeah, Thanx for the pick, Old Crow's was awesome as well.

Congrats Terry, and thanks!

I snapped this as I was leaving Kingston town, heading for the mountains. A hot July day. This was in a quasi-suburban area. There are lots of street-side food and crafts vendors around - small and large operations, from fruits/veg like this lady, to jerk chicken BBQed in a steel drum. Also lots in the villages and along the roads in many places.

Here's a shot of a lay-by area - up towards the Blue Mountains - just off the side of a narrow winding mountain road, where there were just dozens of BBQs set up doing jerk fish, chicken and more. All competing. All good too.
