Don't know if this has been tried before, but lets see if we can post a photo from each of the 50 States of the U.S.
Please try to post a photo from the state you live in, but if its only been a visit, feel free to post that too. Challenge is to see if we can get all 50. Repeats allowed. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Using this opportunity to highlight the New Jersey Shore, which no longer looks anything like these photos. The roller coaster and spinning ride shown in the first two are currently sitting half under water out in the Atlantic Ocean, and the point where the houses in the last one are located is still off limits to the public so I have no idea if they're still there.

@wilsonandstacie Hey Wilson. On your photo page, there's a box that gives all the info on your photo...date taken, exif...etc. Below that there's a box with code in it. Select the whole line of code, copy then paste in the reply box on this page. This can be used to upload a photo on any challenge or theme or discussion, ie: favorite fav of someone else. Hope this helps
