    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.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Story:

Had been seeing mostly the right side of that scene, recognized how well lit the rocks/mountain was (brite and no shadows) and had that portion of the scene in mind, then coming out of an uphill tight curve, saw more of the scene, and I pulled off the road. When I got closer to the edge, and parked, then I noticed more of the road below and more of the rock/mountain on the left of the scene (my excuse why bike posed that way, was going to shoot across the bike, looking more to the right). By the time I got off the bike, and was considering repositioning the bike (for side view of bike) a tour buss had stopped and out came dozens of tourist, wandering all around and about to get in my way. So took a few shots with the bike parked the way it was (shooting from behind the bike).
Then stood there for a while marveling at the scene some more, and thinking how I was there at the best time of day (and year?) for that scene. Thought of waiting for the tour buss to leave. But was more people coming from another parking area. So I watched the tourist, most were going near the edge to take pictures, or posing group selfies back in the parking lot.
The prior couple days (CA, UT) and the next couple days (UT, CO), I saw more great scenes, but I knew that scene at Zion Nat'l Pk was the best as far as the lighting (brite and no shadows),and the road twisting along.

Man, not thinking of how to derive a new theme-topic (has been a while).

here is one I thought of before, but don’t think I used:
“Wooden Structure”.
could be barn, tower, bridge or anything that about anybody looking at picture would say “bike and wooden.......”

dont have access to my pic archive at the moment. Will post an example and/or submission later.


>>> Later...

>>>> THursday. Delete sample pic, to avoid confusion of seeming like two submissions.

Did not have time this week to look for pic I had in mind, but did find this one

Great pic fellas!
I won't get out for a pic this week, won't have my new chain and sprockets on til probably Friday evening. So here's my "wooden structure"

Well, its technically Friday... pic was taken 11 24 pm on Thursday.

The stupid things we do for a pic. I thought long and hard and looked around quite a bit (for cops, etc) before finally rolling the bike up the oh so convenient and tempting ramp up to the boardwalk. So glad I did.

I was about a foot or two from not posting this. My ride home nearly ended in major disaster and an ambulance ride because of an incompetent driver. More on that later.
