I am getting vain about thee tables. I should have tables of something in every post. But what would I put in them. I can't judge photos every day and, franky, it is too hard to do even for just these three nights. This are not necessarily the seventh to twelfth best entries but they are the fourth to seventh awards given. Five more to go and then the Grand Loser and the Grand Winner. We may be able to guess the Grand Loser but there is a decent and appropriate prize coming right from me for that one.
What do you think of these ones?

Yahoo! Thanks again, Alan! You keep writing (and drinking), we'll keep reading (and drinking)!

The photo is indeed from the Jerusalem Tavern. Thank you for the prize! Looking forward to seeing the grand prize winner.

Zak should appreciate he's got something of a collector's item:

I have another unsigned and one actually signed from the man himself to give away tonight.
Plus the famed "ugly cover" edition of his first book.

I'm with others here--Lars' is a wonderful shot. My choice for pick of the litter ... so far.

Thanks for the prize Alan, some great shots this year. Let's not forget that Christmas isn't just about the kids, it's also about shallow depth of field and the seasonal offerings of fine local brewers!
I love Lars's shot too, beautiful!
