Pic of the week game

[kerrfunk]

If I have a vote, I cast it for Eli69, it?s the view of the shot that I like most, it has an artistic appeal.
While I do agree with Don, I must admit that I?m guilty of removing my baffle sometimes too.

Yes you do have a vote, but 1) voting is on Fridays and 2) in the event of a tie (as this time) the vote is broken by the first tie-breaking vote. Which was cast about fifteen minutes before your vote.

hummm, a town called Norman? How far is that from Normal ? hee hee

231 miles from Norman, IN to Normal, IL.

And my first and last name are pretty hard to find, but my middle name is William, and there are two Bill's in this mural...

I'm glad the tie finally got broken. I was thinking about a way to sort this if it ever comes to a stalemate.

How about if no tie breaking vote comes in by whatever is deemed a reasonable time, whichever pic was posted first during the week takes the win? Of course, we've had ties before and they always get broken eventually...

Anyway, just a thought. Now to upload a pic I grabbed earlier today.

Shucks, Kerry took my idea of using a mural. Oh well, here goes.

No Ride today. (sleet most all morning).
Is a David street a couple blocks away, but nothing interesting there.

Did see this on my Ride-RT-Home this past summer.
Stopped and took this pic real quick, rather documentary snapshot, just to send to my brothers.

Have lived around Michigan in about 10 places since I was 4 years old, and never heard of another Varner here untill I was about 40 years old, and then none after that.
Although, when I was a kid and we went to visit my Dads family in Johnstown PA area, it was quite a thing to look in phonebook and see almost two pages of them.

I like the entries so far!

 

[Steve]

I have a great picture, but my bike isn't in it.

[marvinsc]

Go ahead and post it, just state "Not an entry".

 

[Steve]

OK. THIS IS NOT AN ENTRY!!

From my work assignment in Flori-duh, back in 2010.

[marvinsc]

Nice Steve, too bad you couldn't get a bike into the shot.

Well Bob if you actually owned this store you could get Blanton's Bourbon at cost, which still ain't cheap.

A while back a good friend of mine made me the sign in the picture, we finally got a castle.

I have at least got the theme covered this week--first AND last name.

The address of the restaurant is painted underneath.

...

 

[Redman]

Friday. Vote Day.

First the statement of the theme-subject by Mr Marvinsc:

Theme for this week is "Same Name". We all do it, look for Streets, Roads or places containing our name or something similar. . . . . .

And the entries, about 8 of them.

.

.............. but my middle name is William, and there are two Bill's in this mural...

Okay.
There we are.
(let me know if I missed one)

Later Note>>
I can attest that everyone has referenced their first or last (or middle) name, or a significant portion of their username.

Baatfam Bob gets my vote this week.
The thought of a drive-through liquor store in my area would make people's head explode.
Heck, if you are on a bicycle they won't even sell you a coffee at the drive-throughs.

Excellent....
Once again, picking the best photo is difficult.

What I like in photos is balance, colors, and shapes....
Gustov and Norm caught my attention....
Kerrfunk's has all the pieces I like....It would make a neat panorama if a bunch of the parking lot was cropped out.
Baatfam's is nice, but clearly photoshopped

But my vote goes to Burque73 (Roger)

Great colors, and fun shapes.
Nice balance/angle between the bike and the word.
Bike is pointed into the picture, not out.
Sharp.

Roger, I would suggest you crop out that distracting stuff on the right, though...
What is that? An amusement park? :highly_amused:

 

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Burque73 for me as well.

I dont see that.
But did wonder why need to take off jacket and helmet in Knoxville TN in February to stand in parking lot a minute to get that picture. I figured, maybe, because went inside for some time. ha ha.
