Here they are, my picks for the top six. (I tried to limit it to five, and could not.) Please, take a few minutes, look at all of them, and write a comment about which you like best. If you can, share why you like it best and why you think it deserves to be my new header.
Well, I missed it, but sometime today, this blog got its 500,000th visit. Thanks all of you for your support and encouragement.

I vote for the first photo. It's mysterious. It calls me in to find out what might be going on in there. Beautiful!
I vote for number three, the Adventurer and the Pacific, but I don't find a button to click on it or below.
Wonderful all of them, very Big Sur and typically moving. But this one says it most: that thrill of discovery is in it; the me-and-wilderness; the fine solitude and Americana; and most of all the exquisite answer to wondering what's over that next hill and the reason for going to find out.
I like number 2 the best - it's
so colorful and so Big Sur.
P. S. I love the special header for St. Patrick's Day. My grandfather on my mother's side was born on St Patrick's Day
St. Patrick's Day banner is a fine thought. Like it.
Any of the contest pictures, or all in rotation, would be a fine header.
Evergreens in the fog is unusual, though it could represent locations other than Big Sur. It makes one ponder, and therefore has depth to it.
Little Sur River Basin from Strawberry Point is my top pick. Multiple photo ops in that general location.
Adventurer in splendor is another top pick. Mysterious, too: is he peeing or not? It doesn't matter- look at the Pacific and those green ridges!
Spring lupin, can't go wrong. Natures seasonal colors.
Sunny side up. Outstanding and quick camera work. Outstanding photo.
Whale migration.Rare opportunity captured.
I love that one with the hiker standing on the ridge line! Makes me feel like I could make it there too. Love love love it.
First photo for me, very much so!
I love the feeling of walking up to the top, and just looking to see what is. To stand there alone, and wonder what the day will bring.
they are all good, and whatever gets chosen will be wonderful
All great images and hard to choose, but I like the dolphins. I have heard of them surfing in the waves, the inspiration of all surfers, but I have never really gotten a good look, so this one is about as close as I'll ever get. Thank you for posting it.
some very good choices here, since I can't vote for all of them, I vote for number one, mysterious, it beckons to the variety that Big Sur is to me.
