The Friday Photo: Polls Apart

And a very good afternoon to you (the May weather feels good, doesn't it?). You've no doubt been holding your breath for a glimpse of the Friday Photo, and here it is.

We'll admit this isn't the best shot in the world, but the (brief) story by its supplier, Ken Hill of Alexandria, caught our attention. Take it away, Ken:

"Elections in Kyrgyzstan are held on Sundays, with voting often taking place in schools. Outside a 'polling station' at a middle school in a remote village in eastern Kyrgyzstan, these delightful students agreed to pose with an 'official observer' (me) from a land far away."

Ken gets to cart around one of our Travel section tote bags for being selected this week. Now it's your turn. Some guidelines:

1. Email ONE photo per week to us travel@washpost.com. Put "Friday Photo" in the subject field, and include your name, address and phone number.

2. Write a paragraph like the one above explaining what's going on in the picture, when you took it and why it's significant to you.

3. Photos should be from a recent trip, voyage, getaway . . whatever you want to call it. But try to keep it within the last month or two or three.

4. Winners will receive a Travel totebag; allow four to six weeks for delivery. Winning entries are subject to editing. Employees of The Post and their immediate families are not eligible. No purchase necessary.
