Wow, that’s totally unexpected. Thanks. I put that up just to have something. Barely met the theme.

So, it’s been a dry few months (actually wet and cold). So have to go with what I got on file. Around here, there are lots of scenic overlooks, which, if visited at the golden hour, can reveal a light that makes everything look good. Let’s see the Vista where your bike looks the prettiest. New theme is Vista.

Vista is generally used today for broad sweeping views of the kind you might see from a mountaintop. But the word originally meant an avenue-like view, narrowed by a line of trees on either side. And vista has also long been used (like view and outlook) to mean a mental scan of the future—as if you were riding down a long grand avenue and what you could see a mile or so ahead of you was where you'd be in the very near future.

Had to make sure....

I always like to see fun takes on a theme. Interpret Vista any way you like.

I'll offer this. Nearing sunset on the last day of a four-day, seven-state, 1,337-mile tour. I wish the focus were a little better, but I was far away and had to zoom in a bit. I do like the coloring.

20210617_112649.jpg This Vista picture was taken last summer on my trip to Yellowstone, the famous Bears Tooth Pass. After riding in the heat for several days, the 57° temperature was very welcoming.

Getting to Bears Tooth from Cody Wyoming (base camp) I followed the Chief Joseph Highway. I would have never know about the Chief Joseph Highway if it wasn't for Depep. Thanks Don. 👍

You’ll just have to stop in and I’ll show you all the great vistas, a few like this not far from my house. Maybe see some porcupines, and probably a rattlesnake or two.

As soon as I'm sure that I won't get caught in a snowstorm I will be harassing you most heinously for another ride in the Pennsylvania hills. Also, the deer around here are going nuts lately. The roads are littered with corpses. That's been keeping me close to home and moving slowly. I hope they settle their asses down soon.

If my purpose/motovation was to be a winner, I would not go to any further effort to find some shot I might have .. .. ...

Agree Dave, the competition is already fierce on day 1.

I might have something more impressive in my hard drive but this one is actually from this season. It's been a snowy spring so far.

Looking north toward Lake Ontario. The land tends to flatten out a bit in that direction.
