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 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

OK, since videos are apparently not allowed, let's go to a single shot.

This is under the New River Gorge Bridge, near Fayetteville, West Virginia. The bridge is about 870 feet above the bikes. My bike is the blue one that is first in the far left line.

No videos, huh? That's too bad.

In its place, here is this picture. I don't remember where it was, but the bridge itself is rather unforgettable.
In case you can't tell, that is the back end of my bike. My son is taking the picture over Steve's shoulder, you can see the front of his windshield in the bottom of the picture.

Well I guess I don't do bridge photos much but here is one of about three that I do have. It's kind of a big bridge so I didn't get very close. Bridge over Deception Pass in Washington State.

This was a great trip Sandy and I am sorely going to miss this years adventure!
 
Charlie, you could have used that same picture for three weeks already: reflections, water and bridge. :-\\\

Yah, that was one of the better trips. Maybe second to one we did in your neck of the woods. That goat trail was fun.
 
Just thought I would keep a list of themes, so we can avoid duplicates. Here is what I pulled from the thread so far.

Railroad Swing Bridge.

Here the bridge is open to allow for river traffic (train traffic would have a problem).

L6FCRwu.jpg

I took this picture quickly because getting there involved trespassing on private property of a company (a dock for unloading bulk material frieghter) and then along the railroad.

I wanted to get bike out on the end of that walkway (along left side of tracks) so could see the end of the tracks and the river in foreground and then bridge more obvious IN the water (not across the water), but I was concerned about how much time that would take. And I could see some dock workers looking at me then heading into the office. So I took the picture quickly.

THen thought I would turn bike around, for a better pose, and take another quick picture before leaving. Well, in trying to walk the bike and turn it around ... long story, shorter... bike about got stuck in some loose ballast stones, and in trying to get out of that we were going downhill. Stopped with front wheel right at the rivitement edge, still pointed downhill, endanger of going over into the river. After recovering from that, and getting pointed in right direction, I could see guys heading to a company truck, so I headed down the tracks and got out of there.
 
Here is my entry for photo of the week. This picture was taken last spring, just after a big rain, somewhere in western Pennsylvania.

I have to give my vote to Dorkburger....

Although Trevor and Redman were both a close second.

Hopefully that "one and only picture" can actually be a SERIES of pictures that make up a video.

EDIT: video removed due to apparently inapropriate format. Entry is now in post #362

I am going to hope that a video qualifies, as well. :-k

EDIT: apparently a video does not qualify, so it has been removed and my entry has been moved to post #361. :oops:

A humble thank you to Mr and Mrs Steve for helping to keep this thread a little simpler by not using videos. This has bugged me all week actually, thinking I lack the tact to respectfully communicate so I just needed to mention it.

As a tech savvy millennial that loves videos, their is a degree of beauty that only a picture can capture. Vids force you into a perspective, pics allow you to perceive in you own way.

Also I think the Thread Title "Pic of the week game" says it all.

I'm totally fine with Pics only.
