Pic of the week game

Thank you. I tried to download and use their app but it doesn’t seem as friendly as their website
Close to 11K motorbike related photos cataloged on my machine, and I only found 6 or 7 photos with clear enough shadows to use.
Seems like every rally or ride I've been in the past 10 years involved clouds and rain.
Anyway, I found this one from July of 2013. Not a particularly clever or artistic photo, with the harsh sun and cliched pose, but I thought the shadow was interesting.
Lighting the K1100RS directly from behind gives a weird geometric shape to the shadow in front of the bike.
The picture was taken at the entrance to the New Glarus brewery, in New Glarus Wisconsin. That is a field of hops growing behind us. We stopped for the tour on our way home from a BMW Brick ride.
30 minutes after this picture was taken, that BMW was scattered up and down the shoulder of the highway. Best bike I ever had.

I like this scene because the shadow is not distorted much, well, other than the bottom of the tires. Can even see the carb bowls in the shadow.
THis is the road down by the beach, parking space next to dune hill side, sun real low, sun just about to set over the lake.
Sun just about perpendicular to the bike, and the side of the hill not too far from perpendicular either.

How did you manage to block off the road like that? It seems like that would be a well traveled one
Just one of the advantages of living in the boonies and taking a mid week ride. Yah, I kind of like it here. Winters have even less traffic. LOL.

You're making it tough competing with your scenery backdrop selection. I will be on that road(Ft Steele Rd correct?) in a few weeks, but will be in a car. If I see a nice GS sitting in the middle of the roadway, I will stop and hijack it!! I'll pack my helmet.
ps...I deleted the photo so it wouldn't show again and give you an advantage....lol

I like how the Shadow looks like a reflection in this one...
Man I can't believe I use to LOVE riding with those buck horns...What was I thinking!?!
The whole 125 mile ride home when I bought that bike from you, I was thinking the same....why Justin?? The first thing I did(next day) was swap out the bars....it was much faster after that! I could do 130mph without exercising my stomach muscles so much!
Here is my entry for photo of the week. 
Nothing special, just a long shadow. I was hoping to get a moving shadow picture with my friend, but apparently she's still mad at me for blowing her off last Sunday when I went on a extended motorcycle ride. Oh well, I guess that's why I never been married...

This week will be a picture of your bike casting a shadow.

The bike does not need to be fully in the picture as mine was. A part of it or even its shadow only is fine
