    Well, although I was able to crop out the signs of the car itself, I don't have any of the fancy editing tools most have so I couldn't get rid of the last obvious sign this picture was taken through a windshield. Obviously the county road maintenance hadn't been out here in awhile though

      Medora Brick Plant
      With trees growing on top and all around

      THese brick structures are visible at some distance off of Tunnelton(?) Road west of Medora Indiana.
      I stopped there myself in 2015 (when had old digital camera, 640 pixle)
      This is after after having past bye on group rides on at least a couple other previous years at Brown County.


      THen I stopped there in 2016 along with Adam LoudET, Indy Bob and Norm Storm.
      Are 5 or six of the brick kilns, and a couple other buildings and a rail car loading place.
      <<not an entry>>


      Is interesting to see, and many photo ops, and places that could be hazardous to take bike.

      The place was in operation for decades. 1904 to 1990. Has sat idle since .

        Great pics so far. Hope I get a chance to do something this week. Just to clarify, the rules as posted in post #1 rule 8 states:

        "The date of the picture does not matter, or who took the pic. You can use new or old pics as long as you've got the bike in the pic (or as much of the bike as necessary for the theme) and they meet the week's theme."

        has there been any change to this rule?

          The main idea is that this is something of a photo contest-game, is not a riding game, is not a tag game (the rules do not specifically say it that way, but that is what what discussed-implied at the start). The rules specifically say does not have to be a current picture, a picture that you already have is acceptable. THe rules say has to include your bike (or your bike at the time).

          Later it was said that it doesn't have to be a picture you took, does need to be your bike (this was decided after some guys submitted picture their wife took that included them). And at that time Roger Burque did amend the original posting to include "or who took the picture".

          So, No.

              Yes Rich, as Dave said, it is more of photo contest/game involving bikes, not so much a riding game.
              A lot of the time, I'll have a better picture on file, than anything I could take this week.
              So most of the pictures I've used, have been shot weeks, months, or even years ago.

              In case you guys are interested, my favorite camera forum has a great thread of motorcycle pictures: https://www.mu-43.com/threads/show-motorcycles.7861/

              It's about 50 pages long and the pictures get better the further in you go....

                Looks like the weather is not going to cooperate this week, so something from the vault.

                Found this little cabin? shack? home? by a little creek, this past summer...



                Blazing mid-day sun made this a little tricky to develop...

                  Here is my entry for photo of the week. The overgrown bush was taken in my driveway. I'm the neighbor that trims the shrubbery once a year whether it needs it or not. I mow my lawn when I deem it necessary. Not when the township zoning tells me to. My neighbors are great, they understand my summer time priorities and lawn maintenance is not one of them. "There he goes again on his motorcycle"��

                  note: after looking at the picture. I'm not sure why my spokes look rusty? Trust me they are not...

                    Weathers not cooperating here either for riding the bike and probably won't until something like late April. LOL. I've started scanning slides again, good winter project, and came up with one from 1983 that really doesn't fit theme that well except that the posty was complaining about having to beat his way through the hedge to deliver the mail. I was single then and yard maintenance was not high on my list of important stuff. Anyway, it's a 1968 BSA A65 Lightning that I bought from a friend that got it in boxes and sold it to me pretty cheap. I put it back together as is to see if everything was there and surprisingly the only thing missing was one of the throttle cable collets. Actually rode it a few hundred miles, ughh, then took it apart again to do a proper restore on it when somebody offered me far more than I thought it was worth so it moved on again in pieces. Made some good money on that little escapade and didn't have worry about riding it again.

                        The lumber mill in town closed in the last part of the 50s. I believe that the motorcycle should be just as important in the picture as the subject. So here is my entry, The trees that look like they are growing behind the structure are actually growing up through the middle of the building. So here is the homeless hotel.

                            With crazy work hours still... (12-16 hours a day, 6 days a week) plus the weather I haven't been able to explore none the less have time to do much of anything.

                            So here was a nasty winter storm a couple of years back that obviously took over... And the TUX defiantly pushed through it! It was allot of fun riding home on that one...
