The Alaskan Way Viaduct in Seattle --NE2 05:59, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

• Support. When I was up there during break, the governor was threatening to tear it down by a set year if the city didn't replace it... --Rschen7754 (T C) 02:38, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
• Support What are politicians for? good pic.  — master son^{T - C} 02:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

March 2008

This kind of has a neat perspective to it. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 17:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose - it's a line of traffic on a typical two-lane suburban road. --NE2 02:32, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Actually, it's a business loop in a small town... —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 14:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose - No offense, but I see this on the way to work daily.  — master son^{T - C} 02:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose per above. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 05:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose Any perspective is done in by the back of the van hogging the viewer's eye. Even if it were cropped out, I don't see what the encyclopedic value is. Daniel Case (talk) 06:26, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Interstate 90 on the 1991 viaduct built to replace a traffic light on the freeway in Wallace, Idaho. --Rschen7754 (T C) 01:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

• Support - been in that town myself - breathtaking with or without the viaduct.  — master son^{T - C} 01:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
• support very nice. —JA10 Talk • Contribs 16:08, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

The beginning of NM-456 just west of the Oklahoma state line. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 03:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Oppose, tilted. Daniel Case (talk) 17:51, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

It's my fault that NMSHTD can't put a sign up straight? —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 17:55, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Here's a version with the sign tilted and the horizon level. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 18:18, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Looks better. If you think I was being harsh go look at WP:FPC sometime. Those people can spot half-degree tilts at 100px, I swear. Daniel Case (talk) 19:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Self-nom. Winding country road on a beautiful spring day. Daniel Case (talk) 06:26, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Oppose. Need more information. --Rschen7754 (T C) 22:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry. This is the very short NY 416 winding through horse farms in Hamptonburgh roughly midway along its four-mile length. Daniel Case (talk) 19:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Very nice picture of the Pasadena Freeway. —JA10 Talk • Contribs 16:08, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose. Nice picture, but we've used too many overhead perspective photos lately. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 17:31, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
• Support. Good picture. --Rschen7754 (T C) 04:36, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Holy crap, what a pic. Support --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 19:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Support Good pic of a famous LA area landmark that has appeared in a few movies (Independence Day, etc.)Davemeistermoab (talk)

This is a self-created image at the Alaska highway (AK-2), at Milepost 1337, looking eastbound. It's a nice shot of a sparsely-traveled state highway. Nimur (talk) 17:20, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

• Comment I like it, and would support rolling it over to the next month. However, if I can only vote for one at a time, i've spent my vote already. Davemeistermoab (talk) 04:22, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

The same, looking the other direction; probably a little washed-out, maybe someone can run it through a photo-editor and adjust levels. Nimur (talk) 17:26, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose - it's just a milemarker with an overplayed pun. --NE2 00:37, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Maybe. I tend to like the eastbound view better anyway, I just figured I'd include the mile-marker as proof. Nimur (talk) 04:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Pretty nice aerial view of Washington State Route 129 on a hillside. --NE2 00:37, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose. We've used too many overhead perspective photos lately. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 02:43, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
