    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pic of the week game

For the category/subject of "Low Light" I found myself choosing between Roger Burque and Justin Jedz (and mine).
DB Glen is colorful, and we have 3 good sunset pics.

But in choosing for the stated category/subject I choose Roger Burque.
Is something of a difficult exposure situation, and the subject matter fills the frame, and is exposed enough and includes enough detail.
(mine was intended as a silhouette).

Looks like a good potential for a tie .... .... but lets see...

Congrats, DB.

Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Dave, thanks for the comment (and vote) on my pic. That was a stormy August night and I was trying to get a lightning strike in the photo. We were in between thunderstorms at that moment.
 
Thanks! Heck, I didn't realize that the winner chose the next subject in Riding Game fashion..... I'm going to go with an interesting and or peculiar roadside attraction.
Think interesting building, sculpture, pile of trash fashioned into a monster, etc. The kind of goofy stuff that gives one reson to pull over for a closer look.

I'm having a good couple of weeks with my hacky cellphone photography. Last week an Instagram group recognized one of my pictures.....
 
Not goofy but interesting, this picture is the Space Shuttle at home in Houston,Texas. ��

Edit: The Space Shuttle is at its resting place in Houston,Texas. Its home is out in space...
This picture was taken June 2017 on my way to Arizona.

Wow! I used to work on that 747. It was sad when they retired the Shuttle Program and within a very short time after all the shuttles were delivered, they retired the 747's.
I've got lots of pictures of it, even when they disassembled it to move it from Ellington Field to Space Center Houston.
When were you here?

I took this picture one of the times I went to California to work on it.

"Theme"
Hum... can read that as "post a picture and we are to interperate what aspect of the photo could be a theme, can pick any aspect of the photo", but it seems the winner should state the intended theme when post the first picture. Maybe we need a Supreme Court decision on this constitutional issue, and someone can argue for something that was never intended. Hey, we have the author/creator here, lets ask him. Hey Mr Roger Burque, what you say. Winner has to state the theme when post the first picture....? or winner just post a picture....?

Mmmmmmm... incorrigible child I am.... seems I need to read directions more carefully.
I'll get a picture up later.
 
Sandy Hook NJ. Gateway National Recreation Area. This was a former Nike missle base set up to protect NYC from a missile attack. Some of the relics are on display along the road thru the park.

I had to go to Photobucket hell to get this back. Between switching phones, both work and personal, I'm finding I'm missing pics. One of those things that you don't miss until you look for it.

Correctamundo, winner posts a new pic and states the theme whatever is to be recreated. Very similar to the riding game in that fashion.

While I'd like to take credit for thinking this game up, I did not. I merely "borrowed" it from somewhere else.

This was a club in Orlando called "Off the Wall", I used to frequent back in the 80's.
 
Steam Engine on static display. Is a steam engine, a coal tender, a couple rail cars and a caboose. Can see from road, but this view from the parking lot.
THis particular shot is from ride this Sunday and features the front of the engine.
The bike and the steam engine are both two cylinder engines, but I think that is about as far as the comparison goes....
