Select US 66 OK. Dough4872 03:31, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

 
Tree canopy on the Merritt Parkway in Connecticut.

Beautiful picture, never had CT before. Dough4872 03:39, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

  • No - Source website is not available, can not determine PD status officially. Picture is also very noisy. --AdmrBoltz 14:44, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
I agree the source website is down, but I can vouch that at one time byways.org had highway photos usuable for commons, as other photos on wikipedia have come from there. Dave (talk) 17:07, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Its on the WBM as PD, but my other comment still stands. --AdmrBoltz 17:10, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 
An older "sidewalk highway" segment of U.S. Route 66 Miami, Okla.

One - Its amazing. Two - In honor of OK being destubbed. Three - US 66 is going to be one of our topics for 2014. --AdmrBoltz 15:03, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

  • Support - Nice picture of iconic highway. Dough4872 01:32, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Select US 18/85 WY. Dough4872 05:02, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

 
Legacy Parkway approaching 500 South in Woods Cross, Utah.
  • Nice winter pic. Dough4872 01:46, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Scratch this, I used this for the DYK picture for February. Dough4872 02:05, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
 
Interstate 80 in southeastern Wyoming.
  • We've never had a WY shot. --AdmrBoltz 03:36, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Oppose - Low resolution, quality looks bad. Dough4872 03:39, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 
  • I know we have a Route 66 pic up this month, but we should consider this soon. It just made FP at Commons. Daniel Case (talk) 05:16, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Oppose for timeliness's sake, but would not not oppose for April post-AFD maybe? –Fredddie 05:44, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Oppose with no prejudice about renominating this at a later time. Its a brilliant photo, but this month is also a US 66 image. --AdmrBoltz 14:23, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Comment I'll grant that the composition and lighting of the photo is good (as one would expect from a featured picture) but to me the subject of the photo screams Kitch. I'm ok with it being on the portal, but it wouldn't be my first choice if others are available. Can we keep this on the reserve list?Dave (talk) 18:39, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 
  • As Admrboltz said, we've never had a Wyoming picture, so I'll offer up this one. Click here if you need any proof. –Fredddie 06:01, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Sure Looks nice. --AdmrBoltz 14:23, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Oppose - Scenic, but can barely see road. Dough4872 01:41, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Support. It shows an old segment of road, which are not always the easiest to see. Subtle is not a bad thing. We do not get too many photos of old or abandoned roads.  V 02:28, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Select George Washington Parkway. Dough4872 00:29, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

 

Nice springtime picture. Dough4872 04:01, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Oppose. It's a nice picture, yes, but the HDR effects are distracting. –Fredddie 01:09, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

 

 

Two potential candidates. –Fredddie 01:31, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

July 2014

It'd be neat if we used a picture of fireworks over a bridge. I don't think we've done that yet. –Fredddie 04:00, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
