Such great photos. I am in the middle of looking where to go with my family for a getaway and I have found some incredible ideas here!

Hi Kai,

The photo in question was selected more out of visual interest (prompted by the fact that the West Edmonton Mall is home to the “world’s largest parking lot”) than real-world representation. If you can suggest an alternate photo, I’d be happy to swap it out.

The “picture” from Edmonton is a fake.
That image is a render, done by the artist in the ‘Photographer’ link, meaning, its computer generated and does not exist.
The artist claims its a photo of a new ‘freestyle’ parking lot at WEM, where people can park wherever they please instead of in marked spaces.

This would be an insane insurance liability for one, and to further prove its illegitimacy, see the other images the artist has on their Flickr page, all computer generated.

Please exchange with a REAL PHOTO.

Colin- Herman, Missouri? Who’d have thought? I had no idea Missouri has wineries. I love your comments- I always learn so much from you.
And Lola, Hal, & Carlo- fantastic job with this contest and resulting photo essay. It’s great to see so many people get involved!
