Pic of the week game

Ride today, saw this that have seen before, thought would fit category somewhat...

Guy came while I was there, and we got chatting.
Sub was built by someone as a hobby endevour, and was actaully used for a while.

THe dive shop is operated by a local/regional divers club, and the guy was one of the volunteer's. Biggest service they provide is filling the divers air bottles.
He didnt know much about the sub, but said one of the other guy does.

Not at all related to the picture of the sub, but the guy said had been difficult to keep the shop in operation, but in last couple years they started offering service of filling paint-ballers air tanks... and air-soft-gun tanks and that has kept the shop in business.
 
Well, I believe this car is actually original, but it's all I got. In the building now occupied by the brew pub, originally they made wooded car bodies for Model Ts, loaded them at the siding next to the building and the train would take them to Detroit. They have some beautifully restored examples inside. Come visit, and I'll take you for a beer. My office is in an identical building to the just to the left.

Happy Friday and Welcome to the Weekend!!

First the theme of the week by Roger, (Burque73):












Some great photos this week! Thanks everyone!

Don't forget to vote!

And as always, if anything is amiss, please let us know.
 
First time voter here, but I think Roger's pic best portrays the theme. Voting for Burque73.
 
Redman's Yellow Submarine.
Don't think there's enough room for us all to live in it, though.
 
Voting for trevor as well. I object to the the crop choices: trev's butt, the mirror, and the front tire, but maybe that's just me. Still a superb photograph: the pose, the angle, the lighting, the headlight on. All great.

Lol.,...yeah this pic was from when my bike was in ICBC's calendar...they sent me all the pics they didn't use....thanks for the vote :)
 
Good theme, produced a variety of shots.
And Something to like about every pic.

Gustov, ha! one side replicated on the other side.

Rich, I thought the steam locomotive sign was the replica...

Kerry, Ha! nice idea. ANd I really like the reflection in the tank.

Bob, nice pose, yellow bike and yellow flowers, balance in two big trees, interesting item in middle, occupies the eyes/mind, everything in frame all interesting. Not much at all distracting. Nice overall scene. I suspect you looked over that area, and choose that pose.

Trev, I like how the main item the bike (the Cooley replica) was posed in the frame to take up large portion of the frame, and the photographer then found a way to get you in there too. ANd nice lighting. I know is a professional photo shoot from your telling the story before. ANd seems like the photographer got down low (or at least the camera), again, to fill frame with bike and better feature the engine. ANd posed with nice uncluttered background.
Per our discussions before: he didnt just walk up to you and bike look at bike and hold camera up to his face and click away.
I almost dont want to vote for it, knowing is a hired professional photo shoot. But is so good!

Vote for Trevor.
 
Got to vote for storm 64, Could I vote for him twice, once for the KZ900 replica and again for the Wright Bros. plane replica?... It just seems logical.
 
Trevor's picture is nice. I also like the way the photographer was able to get his head in the picture too.

I vote for Baatfam.

Bob's picture and Roger's picture are really the only pictures that are true replicas... I don't think the 1000s was ever a "replica". Not like the Eddie Lawson Replica. I could be wrong, either way, a great picture!
