    Great theme, too! Should be an easy one for those that aren't riding this time of year, since most of us take pictures at this sort of place.
    Hopefully we get a decent turn out this week.


    Ah....I think the only way to really do that, is to stop picking physical things that can be "tagged."
    If we pick things like a direction, an emotion, a smell, a color, a season, etc., than we would be forced to be creative.
    Totally agree! This has been a lot of fun...love seeing the photos you guys are posting.

      So I know this isn't the photographiest of photos, but I submit it because of what it includes: rider, copilot, gear, directions, and bike, at a biker's tourist attraction.

        Not exactly a Tourist attraction, a marker about an event near the end of WW2 that is in the neighboring County. I had heard of it for years and finally made my way over there. I had no idea about the reflection of me and the KLR until I got home and downloaded the pics.

        Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

          Seneca Lake at Watkins Glen NY. The whole area is a tourist attraction. The famed racetrack, local wineries and vineyards surrounding the lake, the gorge, etc.

            You will have to ask yourself, "are those HUGE bikes or a small arch?
            And it has nothing to do with forced perspective.



            This is just outside the town of Warren, PA. This is where they assembled the sections of the Gateway Arch, then shipped them to St. Louis. Click HERE for the story.

              LOL Steve, we were in St. Louis in 1962 or 63 while the Arch was being constructed. As a six year old I could not figure out how they got cranes on the top of the spires, it was about 3/4 complete at the time.

                Most pictures I have of something, say, the pier, and if I told you it was a tourist attraction, well, the picture would be a picture of the pier.

                Most prominent tourist attraction around here is the Lake Michigan beach at the state park.
                Here is a picture of that AND the tourist too. So the fact that it is a tourist attraction is evident in the photo.

                Any warm summer day there are thousands and thousands and thousands of people down there, fills up the state park parking area, and large area of town on street parking and downtown parking. On a hot summer day the state park will be full by 10am.
                Here is about as close as I get on those occasions.
                So, really, it is a picture that shows all the closer I get to the tourist attraction and the tourist and the boaters.

                    OK, I don't get to play here often, but I can do it this time.

                    This is about 185 miles northwest of Roger's trading post. I'll bet that more toursists have been here.



                    Current image from Google Earth shows that this shot is no longer possible.



                    There used to be some shopping kiosks a bit farther out from the markers, they have been moved a LOT closer.

                        Glen, i bet that 996 sounds good with the Arrow exhaust.

                          You can cross the bridge there and walk back a ways uphill to another section of the falls that are bigger but I don't have any good pictures of them

                            Got one that immediately came to mind, but I've used it before, and I am trying to avoid that in 2019.
                            Have a bunch of bike pictures parked at attractions, but you can't tell it is an attraction.
                            Have plenty of attraction photos, without a bike.
                            Probably can't get out this week.

                            Hmmm...The search continues...

                              Thanks. Believe it or not, it's the same bike that she showed in post #2545.

                              You can see another picture of it by clicking on the link for her bike in my signature.
