What is going down as the closest vote in the long and epic history of our monthly photo contests, this pier makes all of the below-zero temperatures most of us are expereincing disappear. This month\u2019s winner comes from Srdjan Stepanovic. Here\u2019s what he had to say about the shot:<\/p>\n

I shot this while on a short vacation on the island of Koh Samet, Thailand with my girlfriend. We stayed in a bungalow off the secluded beach where this hand-made pier stood prominently and presented itself as a good photographic opportunity. Actually it houses a beautiful cafe\/restaurant just behind my back but I found this perspective to be just the right composition.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Secluded beach . . . bungalow . . . caf\u00e9 . . . girlfriend . . . we\u2019re definitely feeling the shot! In fact, Brit\u2019s got so much love, she said it \u201cmakes me want to run and jump off the end.\u201d On behalf of the entire universe, thanks for the escape!<\/p>\n

Congratulations! More of Srdjan\u2019s photos can be found here<\/a>, where you\u2019ll find hundreds of reasons to throw a dart at a map and start packing.<\/p>\n

The month of love is ahead of us — and we love love! That means February\u2019s contest is \u201cLove On The Road.\u201d<\/strong><\/a> We\u2019re hoping to make Luke cringe for the entire month.
