Just that have missed a few voters already.Last edited by Redman; 09-21-2018, 04:23 PM.

While they are almost too close to choose just one, I'm going to have to go with Burque's over Downs'...
Steve, I remember you posting that shot with the tanks awhile ago, but I can't recall the context, something about supporting the tanks while painting.'83 GS650G
'83 GS550es (didn't like the colours in the 80's, but they've grown on me)

Good that it was a creek with running water (as shown in your "context" photo).
I mention such to folks if I hear they are looking for a place, as the experience my brothers and I had with our mothers ashes at the side of a still pond was ... well, I dont want to try to describe it all.

The stories are great, the pictures certainly help punctuate them. As requested, they all seem to have significance, whether "spiritual" or not. Some of the pictures are simply good pictures, the context is what makes them appropriate for this week's entry.
All that said, I'm going with Downs this week.

Charlie, what is more of the story?
I suspect when your great great grandfather stood there 145 years ago, it was not behind a guard rail of a highway. So it makes me wonder about the rest of the story.

Downs
"Emergency!"
Your bike with a piece of emergency equipment. The more interesting the background the better. Fire Trucks/Engines, police cars, forest service dozers on fire duty, ambulance. Take your pick. Or find an interesting piece of emergency equipment that isnt your "typical" piece f of equipment.
This is just an example.not an entry.
