F

or several months in 2002, TownDock.net held a monthly caption contest.

A photo from somewhere in Pamlico County went live and readers responded with their best captions. This August, the old column was revived.

To begin (again), TownDock posted this photo.

What is your best caption for this photo?

The dog, called Colt, is doing what dogs do: hanging his head out the window and enjoying an evening ride. In the background, the sun is setting over the fields after a thunderstorm.

We asked for your best caption. You delivered.

Our top honors for the caption went to ….
