Pic of the week game

[gustovh]

I have to take the broad view on this one, for my choices are limited to two. Here I sit on my 850 and take a picture of the sun setting on the telephone pole on a very smoky day on main street.

That is unless there happens to be a sunset here in the next few days, which I doubt.

Roger, I can interpret that two ways:
1) What is the sun setting behind (so we are looking at the sunset)
2) What is the sun shining on while it is setting (so we are looking away from the sunset, looking at what is being illuminated by the low angle sun)

Do you care to clarify? Or leave it open to interpretation either way?
Your submission is clearly the second idea, so some folks may vote that way, but submissions might be the other way.

My thought was, what is the setting sun's golden light falling on.

Bob looks to have captured it.

Thanks for the clarification, and congratulations on another win.

.................. what is the setting sun's golden light falling on.
.......

I pretty much thought so. (was just trying to politely alert those that didn't make that distinction.)

Down by the beach at sunset.
sun definitely at low angle.
Setting sun shining on dunegrass on duneside.

Little bit of golden color (must have not been humid or would be more color)

I remember you posting this pic before Dave, one of my favs from you...

I've been a little on the fence about which pic to use, as they don't exactly fit the assignment, but I'm going with this one.

Looking around for something completely unrelated to the game, and found this pic.
Is from a different day, different year, different spot, but similar setting of low angle sun at sunset, down by beach, with shadow on duneside.
But this one is more about the light of the sunset and less about the shadow, and a bit more color.

It's not a blazing colourful sunset on this evening shot but the sun is definitely low in the sky and lighting up a bunch of old Suzuki's.

Hey, Yah, a line up of GSs. Tell us when that would have been.

That was taken during the 2010 PNW rally that Vince hosted. Somewhere in S. W. Washington state on the way back to his place from Mt. St. Helens.

What is the sun setting on? The gravel. This is a documentation pic taken on an evening ride in the same place and time of day as all the bikes I've owned. They are pinned to the shop cork board cuz they're nice to look at, especially in January.

Friday.
Vote Day.

First, the statement of the subject-theme-category:

........ have had sunset themes before but lets look at the other side of the road. What is the sun setting on?
.

And the other entries:

Let me know if I missed any.

Will be back to ponder later.

That would be interesting to see a picture of that sometime.

I agree...It would make a great thread.

 

[Burque73]

That is a great idea. I pin the maintenance log for the bikes on the wall but rarely print the pics of my bikes. My wife on the other hand has printed several for me and made a collage for the house. Sadly, I 've owned a few bikes that I never took pictures of. It wasn't until I joined The GSR that I realized how much fun it is looking for photo opportunities and preserving the memories of (usually) great rides.


As far as my vote this week, I'll go with Kerrfunk.

 

[Baatfam]

Well entries are a little down at 10, but considering the holidays, it is good group of photos....Very nice.
And thanks again Dave for putting them all together for us. I know you are pretty busy spoiling the Grandkids...

Loved the theme, Roger...
The pictures that really worked for me, and fit the theme best, IMO...

Burgue73 - very nice picture...the clouds and the bike framing the mountains, which have the golden light of the setting sun illuminating them.

Mine - also had the golden sun ray thing going, and I like the picture. Wish I would have moved a little and differentiated the tank bag from the rock.

kerrfunk - the setting sun is definitely lighting up your subject, with wonderful light. Couldn't park under the arch, huh? LOL...

Redman - golden light is very nice, but it is the composition that works well for me. Bike on the right 3rd, shadow on the left. Several leading lines going right for the bike, nice.

DaveR - nice, very nice. Just a good solid photo of your bike. Full frame, nice light, limited distractions. Almost calendar stuff.

Also liked trevor's, and dorkburger's a bunch, but didn't feel they really met the theme...

This week my vote goes to Redman, (Dave), for giving me the complete package.
