    I might have to sit this one out too... No Cell phone means no camera and I don't have an image in stock that will fit this weeks topic.

    Dave, I like that picture of the steam tractor! The shot of that old farm equipment behind it is also cool

      Hum ... I suppose that is true for many folks these days.

      (I have added more shots of that scene to "Went For Ride" this afternoon.)

        I couldn't get out this week to grab a pic in time but still would like to chime in and vote for Redman's vintage heavy equipment shot.

              I saw Kerrys pic in "Go For Ride" and thought it was intersting in that was a smaller and a larger piece of equipment, and picture framed such that they took up the entire background.

              Got up this morning to go to my Saturday breakfast (non-riders), and thought, "Oh Today IS saturday, so yesterday was Friday, forgot to take out the trash, and forgot to vote on Pic Of Week".

              Vote Tally: Total of 2 votes, both for my Heavy Equipment Circa 1910.
              THanks.
              I have things going on this morning and afternoon. Will have something for us maybe this evening.

              THis game/thread is kinda fun. Some weeks is more like a tag game, other weeks is more like a photo contest, I will try to steer it to more of the later.

                Thanks for checking your vote tally early Dave. I think a prompt response by the winner will help increase participation in this thing. I for one didn't have an opportunity to go find a pic for the game this week by the time the new one was posted. Maybe the time frame set in the first post could or should have been adjusted to allow more weekend time to get the themed picture. As it is if the winner is motivated, or able, they need to run out and get the new theme pic shot and uploaded on Saturday. This leaves one day, Sunday, of weekend riding time for working stiffs who don't always get out on weekdays to get a contributing photo. Not sure if any change is in order or just roll with it for what it is, a fun thing.

                Happy hunting for a new theme, Dave!

                  Roger, you do know it doesn't have to be a new picture, correct?

                    I will be hunting thru my photo archive (later today).

                    And most of my entries are from my photo archive as well (this is not a riding game, this is not a tag game).

                      Haha, yeah I know. I just didn't have the required photo last week is all.

                        Bike At The Water

                        We have had "Water" before.

                        I am naming the topic this week as "Bike At The Water".
                        Meaning bike is near the water.

                        THis happens to be a river, but any other is good; lake, stream, ocean, bayou, ectetera.
                        In this pic the bike is over the water, but that is not required. I was at the water at this boat ramp, looking for a scene, noticed that there was two docks, and the river was unusally calm .... hum.... (and lost some of my better scences).
                        THis pic has reflection of bike in the water, but that is not required. What have you done relative to bike at the water?

                        .

                          Thank you for not saying "In the water" as I've seen what you can do with that GK...


                          Here's my GS on a bridge in Northern NM, near Española I think. My wife and I were coming back from visiting the Taos Gorge bridge.

                              This picture was taken while coming back from Charlie G's presentation of the PNW rally, somewhere south of Tillamook Or. My 850 is on the left end.
