Pic of the week game

I know I've said it here before, but I know for a fact that Jesus would ride a 1981 Suzuki GS 1000 GL.
...
...
Irrefutable and indisputable.

So, then... ah.... are you saying that a GS is the modern day equivalent of a donkey.....?

No doubt that Jesus would be a biker today.

I know I've said it here before, but I know for a fact that Jesus would ride a 1981 Suzuki GS 1000 GL.

"Why's that?" you ask.

"I'll tell you," I say.

Suzuki GS code for 1981 is the letter X. X is the first letter of the Greek word Christ.
GS obviously means "God's Son"
1000 is ten times ten times ten... a trinity of a perfect number.
And GL of course means "God's Love."

Irrefutable and indisputable.

But if he's in a hurry..... God Speed and a big bore.

This week's theme is "High Places/Things".

I pondered what to do for this week. I live near some nice hills but none of them afford the vantage point I imagine in my head. I wanted to park my bike at the top of a nice steep precipice and get a picture from a hundred feet down, but I just couldn't see how to make that happen.

Then I thought about the New River Gorge Bridge, which is a two hour ride from my house and which is over 3,000 feet in length as it crosses the New River, 876 feet below. That is a high place, but how to take a picture, especially when you're not allowed to stop on the bridge. And it'd be an all-day trip to get the pic.

I thought about a neighborhood near me called Highlawn, and I got a picture in front of the Presbyterian Church and the Methodist Church too.

But my wife picked this pic out. There's a local road that crosses Interstate 64 just past west of exit 15, about fifty feet high. I was able to park on this bridge and snap a pic. The googlemap streetview is for perspective, with an orange star from about where I was.

Voting for Dave R this week.

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Charlie G for me.

[Baatfam]

Wow! Another great group of pictures. Love this game...

dorkburger, gets my vote after much deliberation.

Nice work, Glenn. That is a stunning picture.

The stained glass, enough of the bike to know what it is, and nothing else to distract. Beautiful.

[kerrfunk]

Great theme. I love the variety of entries.

Very nice opener, CharlieG, with Weed and the mountain background, and the gas prices.

Bob (Baatfam) I love the way the BMW's gold matches the highway stripes!

Glen (dorkburger) terrific lighting and subject, the way the light comes through the stained glass and rests on the outline of the bike.

But it was the bald eagle on the totem pole that hooked me the most.
--> My vote is for Garth (bccap)

[DaveR]

Dorkburger for the win this week. A clean, together, composed image with intent behind it. Simple but clear. Great colour.

[bccap]

Going with Baatfam this week. There is something about the oranges and yellows in the bike with the yellow stripe in the road and the fall colours in the valley that tied it all together for me...........

[TxGSrider]

I'm voting for Burque73.

[Spyder]

Trevor, I love the windmills, Gotta get my vote...
