I have multiple favorites and I imagine you probably do too. There\u2019s no objective way that I believe I can select a single winner. With that in mind, I\u2019ve decided to let the audience determine the winner.  So let&#8217;s begin the first ever 12 MC poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve finally decided on a prize for the winner, too. I will post an image of the most iconic view on the header of this blog for the rest of June along with the winning user&#8217;s identifier (the name used on the submission).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The rules for voting are rather simple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I don&#8217;t know how or if the poll will embed properly in RSS news reader software. You may need to come over to the actual page on my website if you access the feed remotely and don&#8217;t see a poll displayed below.<\/li><li>The entries correspond to comments placed on the Iconic View article. I&#8217;ve compiled them in the same order as I received them. You\u2019ll probably want to open the images in another tab or window for easier reference (<a href=\"\/blog\/?p=8434\/#comments\">here is the link<\/a>).<\/li><li>You can vote for as many entries as you like; one, several or even all. Voting for them all won&#8217;t do anything useful. Nonetheless you can do that if you feel like it. I&#8217;ll allow it. Just click the box(es) next to the one(s) you prefer.<\/li><li>I think the software might register IP addresses to prevent people from coming back to the page over-and-over and voting repeatedly. It\u2019s not that wonderful of a prize to justify stuffing the ballot box. I don&#8217;t think it will be an issue.<\/li><li>The polls will remain open until Tuesday, June 7 at 5:00 pm U.S. Eastern Time.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which image provides the Most Iconic View?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Who will be judged to have the most iconic view?
