Challenge #33 LUXURY

I thought this would be an interesting subject. This is how luxury is defined in the dictionary:

Something inessential but conducive to pleasure and comfort.
Something expensive or hard to obtain.
Sumptuous living or surroundings: lives in luxury. I'd like to see your idea of luxury. I'll judge on photo quality, and creativity. This will hopefully be a fun challenge! Good Luck!

Comments: Wouldn't you love to live in so much luxury that you could buy your cars so that they matched your jewelry? Me neither - well maybe just for one day!

I'm so glad spur won this contest, I seriously laughed out loud when I saw it. That was nice, congrats! Congrats to the other two as well.

I really need to get things updated here, I've been real busy, and have had my mind on a lot of things lately, but just give me a bit of time and I'll try and get our rankings and winners list updated.

Of course I also just bought my 30D about a month ago, so thats been keeping me busy as well...haha
