Lol, been a couple seasons since I had the time and thought of checking the tag in the same day.
 
Here is the commuter train. This Metro-North train runs from Poughkeepsie down the Hudson river to Grand Central Station.

Now for the new tag. It may be another tough one.....a wedding!

Just came upon the wedding when I went out for the train tag.
 
I went to a couple of wedding venues and this is apparently the time to get hitched. I witnessed three weddings in progress. The first was a really young couple. I stopped the bike on the other side of the fence but didn't dismount. As I looked around I was surrounded by the wedding attendees and, well, it was super awkward so down the road I went, QUICKLY! So, on to the next popular spot, old town plaza. There's a great gazebo in the middle of the plaza. Here's a pic of the bride and groom, among many others others, in the gazebo. Took a quick pic as not to distract from their event.



Now the next tag. A cell tower. This one is cleverly disguised to fit in with the neighborhood pine trees. It doesn't really though, does it? Notice how all the other trees keep their distance? Anyway, if you can find one wearing a Halloween costume, sweet, but not necessary.

I'm quite new here, but I see a wedding and I see what I presume is your bike. So you get the points!
 
OK, could not find a cell tower dresssed for Halloween, so had to split it up. :-k

Here is your cell tower:

This is the city of Fairborn's tribute to the "Home of Flight", celebrating the Wright brothers, and is almost within spitting distance of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Here is a close-up. It's a little hard to see from this angle, but there are three jet silhouettes at the top of the swirly thing going up the post.

For the next tag, how about an easy one? Let's see a YARD dressed up for Halloween. :encouragement:

For the icing on the cake, Mrs. Steve and I just got back from getting that tag right at sunset, so here is a sunset pic to boot:

I know of a high end neighborhood that has a cell tower made to blend in with the natural surroundings. It may be hidden too well to get a good shot of, but if I can get there before dark tomorrow, I'll try to get it. Just not sure I'll have time to grab a next tag. It may be a two day tag.

Looks like Steve found the cell tower. What's the Halloween decoration scene like around your place?

Nice!
We stopped in to see the Air And Space Museum (proper name?) there 33 years ago when I was 10. Amazing stuff! I've always wanted to go back again. Nice sunset pic too!

The "Air and Space Museum" is part of the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC.

What we have here is the National Museum of the US Air Force.

Come on back, it's changed a little bit since you were here. We moved here about 34 years ago, the museum has more than doubled in size since then. Some of the displays that were outside or in another area (accessed only by a tram) are now in the same complex.

Admission is still free, making it one of the best attractions in the Dayton area. :encouragement:

Easy? I've yet to see any decorations whatsoever least of all Halloween. But that might have something to do with the difference on our location:rolleyes:
But I'll keep on the lookout. happy hunting!

I took the description of the tag from Burque to read....a cell tower. You will get bonus points if it is decorated.
 
There's not much in the way of Halloween decor around here yet. I've seen a few inflatable pumpkins and such. Will head out later to try and find something interesting unless someone grabs it first.
 
I can easily get a cell tower. If it up on Saturday, I will go get one.

Edit: And if the weather does what they say it will... Supposed to be nice but cool...
 
Hey, looky here. A yard all dressed up and ready for trick or treaters. These inflatable things crack me up. Seems they get more elaborate every year.



How about for the next one a barber shop with a twisty pole out front. Seems everyone's gearing up for the upcoming festivities now, with the painted windows and all.
