Pic of the week game

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.

Here's "The Most Interesting Spot In The Old West".....or so the sign says!

 

[Guest]

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.

You will have to ask yourself, "are those HUGE bikes or a small arch? :-k
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.

I like that bike......

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.

Glen, i bet that 996 sounds good with the Arrow exhaust.
A little roadrash on the tailpiece and swingarm?

The lower section to Helen Hunt Falls in Cheyenne Canon there in Colorado Springs

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...

I like that bike......

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.

The bike sounds great. Nice thumpy bass tones, but not obnoxiously loud. The rash is the last part not replaced from when he hit a deer.
Bit of a funny story. The accident happened in front a house that him and his wife ended up buying. During the conversation with the homeowner, my cousin mentioned it. The homeowner asked him " so, while you were sliding by did you look over and think to yourself "that's a nice place, maybe I should buy it" "?

Here's "The Most Interesting Spot In The Old West"....

Well to keep it in theme. Daytona Bike week, Daytona raceway...

I'm getting juiced for I'm going back down again this year!!!

Hopefully the Triumph doesn't pull a Harley and I have to rebuild the main wiring harness out of 1980's extension cord after the trip down from VT...

(NOT MY ENTRY)

 

[Baatfam]

If you have visited Frank Loyd Wright's Taliesin, or the House on the Rock, or anything west of Madison Wisconsin, you may have stayed, or driven by, the fabulous Don Q Inn. (More info below)

Thus my entry. The wife and I have stayed here many times, once with some fellow GSR rally attendees. This was back in 2011, taken from up by the airplane, (yes...airplane), with our BMW R1100RS parked in front.
