****February Photo Contest Finals****
Welcome to the Final round to select the winner of the February Photo Contest!!Please remember to keep this thread kicked for visibility! Thanks!
The theme this month was Back to the Future: Stuff that used to be considered the cutting edge of technology - things, places, etc which at one time were the awesome newest tech on earth and now are abandoned to the past.
These are the finalists based on the results of the two preliminary polls.
The winner of the contest agrees to host the next month's contest (or recruit someone else to host the contest), and pick the next month's theme. The host of the monthly contest cannot enter the contest they are hosting.

We had a good crop this time.
it's the site of the old powerhouse which generated the very first long-distance transmission of electricity in the US, about 10 miles to Portland, back in the late 1800s.
I'm not certain that's where this is, but it sure looks like it.
Great photos, great theme! 
The day the Singing stopped 
I did not vote for it because I found it JUST WRONG. I learned to sew on my great-grandmother's treadle. A great photo but JUST WRONG.
