Pic of the week game

[Jedz123]

It's called the Mather Arch and is in Fort Erie which is the small town across the Niagara River from Buffalo.
Has an art deco-ish vibe to it. The look changes dramatically depending on the time of day and length of shadows.

Awesome! Very interesting story.

I must have passed you on either Tuesday or Wednesday when I went to Toronto. I took I-90 out and the 401 back going around the whole lake. I went out to help start moving a friend back to Vermont. I'll be back out soon enough and I'll have to add that to my next stop coming through to break up the trip.

Thank you for the information!

Yep, your count looks good Jedz.

I recounted three times, surly Kerrfunk couldn't have won, he never wins!
Just goes to show how fast you can go from zero to hero.
From nothing to something.
From dud to dazzling.
From into the frying pan to being the frying pan... ? What?
Anyway CONGRATULATIONS Kerry! Great picture and thanks for playing along.

And even if you didn't get a vote (trevor). That doesn't mean it wasn't a great picture (trevor).
Just keep playing (trevor) your time will come around (trevor).
A lot of times the best photo doesn't win. Just ask Baatfam!

LOL!!
A truly LEGENDary performance, wouldn't you say? After all, it is a Triumph LEGEND!

My folks are visiting this weekend, and we are going to the legendary MOTHMAN MUSEUM. I've seen the Mothman, but I have not been in the museum.

So the theme: LEGENDARY. As you see fit.

Wes Cooley the "legend" in my garage....I look back and still find it hard to believe that he stayed at my house...what a memory of such a nice man.

Game over. I'm not even going to try to compete with Wes...

So, did you have opportunity to explain to your parents about this online weekly photo contest on a forum for 1970s-80s Suzuki motorcycles ? You can tell your mom that she has been featured, maybe more than once.

And then they get to see the Mothman Museam.

Seriously. Is this a game anymore.

Last week there were 7 posts by the same time, 1 post this week. I drop in and out and i don't even expect to get one vote. In fact i have hardly ever got a vote, a couple here and there, actually got the top rung once. There is a certain amount of bias on here. Although it is often not about the photo, more about a preference of someone or a bike, (stated often), and who's to say one pic is better than another even if it has better balance or framing.

Again i know i won't get a vote but i'll throw in a pic to at least to give Trevor a fright

Legendary trip after my Fathers legendary 80th birthday, (Piped in a Hagas). Took my 12 year old Son back to his home 200mile away. His first real ride on my Legendary XS650.

Trevor's the legend. I never heard of Wes Cooley until Trevor brought him up.

Yes, it's a game. Don't take it too seriously and have fun. Sometimes it's a photo contest, sometimes it's just a spot to share a special Pic that fits the theme, but always, hopefully, just a fun thing.

i loved your pic last week, BTW. Looked like it was from the cover of a Chiltons Service manual.

We've had that (and most) themes a few times now. Seems easy to jus take a pic and switch it to black and white. I like to try and mix it up a bit with different interpretations. Creativity makes it fun.

Sure is great to see others participating. I used to think there was some sort of bias too, but doubt it.

How can there be a bias? It's entirely open and anyone can see the process.
I haven't won for a while, so I'm convinced that some are biased against me - or it might just be I haven't put much any interest in.
