Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.
Less than a few seconds later, I think I see the moose running behind trees (on the West side of Highway 212). The moose jumps over a fence between two properties. To my surprise, I see very fast movement through the trees near the fence. Did the bull moose pick up speed? There is fast and very fast! What moved was too fast to be a moose but perhaps something caused the moose to run even faster than what I had seen so far. I slow down the car, pull the car on the edge of the highway (in the emergency lane) and put on the breaks (the only car I see then is one car that was also pulled on the side of the road which I imagined had also stopped to admire the events that were taking place). The suspense what killing me but I did not have to wait too long to get the explanation. Out of nowhere, two white-tail deers jumped on the highway and crossed the street and start going South on the East side of Highway 212. I assume they saw the big bull moose coming towards them and decided they were better off staying as far away from his big antlers as possible. I don't get to catch my breath from this unexpected deer appearance that I get to see this big tall moose come out of behind the trees and also cross the street. This would be my final chance to capture a photo of him. The following is the last photo I took of my moose chase.
