If only I knew, I would write a whole feuilleton on the “The Infallible Method to become…” But behind the choice of the featured pages are the elves, these mythological creatures guiding the whole process… In order to better understand the psychology of these mysterious beings, I have started reading The Lord of the Rings…
And if there would be no God… oops sorry no Code? The mystery remains…
to all photos that I gave a rating of less than 10/10.
I recently bought a book of Galen Rowell photography, and I think that I may have allowed myself to become a bit jaded as a result.
There are so many beautiful photos on this site, and I didn't realize how the grading curve worked with the rating tool. In reality, it's used like the 'star' on Flickr, all or none.
Hi Bob!
For sure I will not remove SP Picture of the Decade! It is such an hilarious one! Actually I started writing this article after it almost made it to PTOD…
Dear Shahkeer,
I am sorry if my article offended you, but this was not the purpose.
Actually this article is not making fun of nature, for which I have a deep respect, but is making fun of certain aspect of human nature (for which I also have a deep respect by the way). Cheers,
Bruno
Bruno - this is absolutely fantastic! I love this page! :-)) The "Pointe" of it, which is based on a lot of truth (!) and the subtle and yet biting humor you put into it - the combination of the two could not possibly be better! Aaaw - why did you delete the "Photo of the Decade"? I was going to vote on it, hoping to turn it into "Photo of the Century"!! ;-)))))))
Lots of cheers,
Eric

Re: He he...Maybe this cat will do it for POT Decade! Someone said once that a snowy picture will increase the number of votes by 50%!

So, I've got to know the answer......you've obviously, also, cracked the code for getting one's articles/mountains/trip reports/routes posted to the front page of SP.
Pray tell, what is the infallible method of doing so?
Cheers,
Sarah

Re: picture goneThe member who posted it left the site last year. I do have a copy on my computer, though; it was just too funny.
Bruno, even though the picture's gone if you click on it, please don't edit it out of your page. It's priceless.
