August Composition Challenge VOTING Thread

[lurksalot]

With what amounted to a near runaway victory in these parts, we had a resounding outright July win for @Chiliwailer 

 

It was a well supported month with some great material and thus a worthy winner.

 

His choice of inspiration for us ...

 

"It's summer, and if it were possible I know where I'd rather be right now.... I hope you all also find this image of trekking in Yellowstone Park inspiring."

 

 

 

So, for the entries , pick your 2 favorites from these 

 

 

1   @Baloney Balderdash    A calm folky instrumental, that seems fitting for the picture and location of it, complete with backwards intro that mirrors the mirror lake of the image  :

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 @Chiliwailer   Yellowstone Trails - I was initially aiming for a baggy folk type tune, but this somehow evolved with a slight country feel - which was a nice surprise, taking a walk down different trails.

 

 

 

 

 

3 @Leonard Smalls   When someone says Yellowstone I immediately think of El Capitan, which rises majestically out of Tuolumne Meadows, a mere 811 miles and two states away in Yosemite.

So here we have a bit of dub, perfect for watching the sunset from your Portaledge halfway up El Cap's most famous route, The Nose.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4  @Jean-Luc Pickguard  Take note of the warning signs and watch where you step.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5 Lurksalot  Yellowstone is Just as much grizzly as Disney , a beautiful stroll here ... a grizzly there,   a beautiful stroll here ...  old faithful steam boiling hot water geyser there , from lovely green valleys to scalded wastelands 

 

 

 

 

 

6 @upside downer  Hey, what's the rush? Life's too hectic. Take a stroll, breathe a little and just enjoy being in the moment.

 

 

 

That's all folks 

 

With 6 entries I'd suggest 2 votes each this month , so we'll close the poll at midnight on 31st 

 

Good luck all
