i am wondering what the general interpretation amongst members here is, as to what the banner on top of the STP page is? considering the image can be potentially illusionary. matt and i have some disagreements about it, and are curious as to whaat other people, think it depicts. the one with the orange sunset.

i, like the rest of you assumed it was a horse. some lonesome cowboy riding off into the sunset. but matt insists that there is no horse, and its just a guy sitting on a fence. we just wanted to see what others thought.

what do you have to say for yourself matt? haha.

i liked when the banner changed. and i think it would be cool if certain submitted photos taken by some members that were truly good pictures were displayed on the top. but i dont really care, it would just be really neat.

i like errythang you've done with the site, keep it up!

yup guy on a horse.....
ok why a guy on a horse? shouldn't the banner be like SUPER train core with like a open box car & some dirty kid drinking a 40 with his arm around some hot babe and a dog at their side? you know your average nuclear family......

i don't know. i think it could possibly be someone with a child on their shoulders looking into the sunset.

as for the site, matt, you've done a damn good job. i think it's pretty cool that you take time out of your life so that we can have a space to bounce ideas and shit off of each other. i've always wanted to do something like this, but lack the skills. and if i did do something like this, it would look godawful. so thank you.

haha, thanks everyone! okay, now i do have to admit that i guess i didnt put too much thought into the top pic, nor looked at it too closely, because i just assumed it was a traveler kid sitting on a fence somewhere (i got the image from flickr)until toberborgan told me it was a horse last week. i guess my brain is just wired wierd or something. we had a good laugh about it, so we decided to ask you all and see what the concensus was :)

Uh oh - go out while you're on top Matt!!! Time to retire!

AhHHA - this post is HILARIOUS. Leave it to Wider to post a blown up clarified image of the thing just to show it's indeed NOT a fence post. AHAHAhAHHAAH - I mean - that's a pretty big fence post that kid is sitting on there in comparison to the others - no no no - it's the sitting post!!! SHEESH!!! Hasn't anyone ever seen these!?!?! They're all OVER the fence lines - especially in Wyoming. DUH.

It looks like an old cigarette ad! Ha ha, I'm sure you can photoshop in some more interesting silhouettes.

It's actually a lady wearing a 1920's style dress while she's lighting a cigarette!
