There does seem to be a shorthand in the 'spiritual image' genre and that is by atmospheric images - big skies with clouds receding to the horizon, vast distances, looming thunderheads with rays of sun peeking out, mountain tops, mist at sunrise, etc. Most of us are not photo artists but likely there are some evocative pics taken by accident that convey something more than bikes in scenery.
This is one of the more interesting challenges. Looking forward to the responses.1979 GS1000

I agree with what DaveR said and that this is going to be mostly an internal to you thing that maybe the picture can explain. Unfortunately this would be the best one for me right now. This is of Helen Hunt Falls in Cheyenne Canon (yes, it's spelled that way on purpose, I just can't put the special punctuation in) Colorado and is named after the famous poet Helen Hunt Jackson. I used to come up here (just down the canyon a bit actually) to sit and try to clear my head after my dad died back in 1992 two months shy of his 61st birthday and two months after my 21st.
I know I should have waited for the guy to clear but oh well.

To the right of where the bikes are parked is a small creek called Cedar Run. When we visited Pa as kids, this is one of the spots my parents took us to play. Part of my father's ashes are scattered here, and a Pa visit is incomplete without stopping there .

Looks like this week it's a trip down memory lane. To most this looks like a photo of just four motorcycles but to me it's in accumulation of memories. Taken on Hwy 101 in north California in September 2008. The 2007 GSXR1000 is owned by my buddy Bob ("the collector" for those that attended my rally). We've been riding together for almost 40 years and our first trip together was a 10,000 mile cross Canada trip back in 1980. The Vstrom belongs to a local friend, David, I've known for decades as well. He was the guy at Bob's during the rally with the really nice GT750 and the 2001 Guzzi Lemans is one of several bikes owned by my older brother Cliff who got me started in this whole madness back in the late 60's. One ironic thing is the fact that we've all been riding every year since we started back in our teens and still are. We also still own the motorcycles in the picture.

I'm currently in Ireland on a 2-week spiritual retreat with 20 other United Methodists. We are touring castle and cathedral ruins and monasteries and the like, as well as doing a bit of sightseeing. Today in Waterford Ireland, my friend David and I happened upon an Irishman mounting his Honda, and he was kind enough to allow me a picture. So here I am on a little Honda in Waterford Ireland on a spiritual retreat. Again, apologies for the format, it's what I can do from a phone.

I suppose are a few aspects of "spiritual", and I can think of some experiences that fit some of those aspects, (including the exact definition of the word), but those locations are not photogenic, dont support having a mo'cykl in the picture, and some are far away.
I did think of an nearby place of an occurrence (mid 1980s) that I have often thought of and reflected upon. Is where I ran bike off the road and down along one side of the ditch, along the bottom of the ditch, and along the other side of the ditch, and then up and out the other side of the ditch, without hitting anything nor getting thrown. I dont recall too much of what all happened, other than was drinking all afternoon and the traffic situation changed and I didnt react well enough soon enough, so quickly ran off the side of the road. Was a few hazards along that stretch of ditch, but where I went off avoided all of them, and not by my own doing. A few feet either way or a different angle/path would have been quite different. Came to the realization that I should not be doing that no mo' no mo' no mo'.
Have been back there from time to time. Went back the other day for a picture for this subject-theme, and now the road has been expanded and the ditch reshaped, and other factors such that didnt support a representative picture.
Oh, just thought of a pic I do have, of another situation. .... let me look......[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/webpages.charter.net\/ddvrnr\/GS850_1100_Emblems.jpg"}[/IMG2]

I'm not a religious person. But the places that allow me the best reflection are away from others with good views.
