Thanks for viewing Greggy. The camera is a Nikon D700, eight years old but it's my friend and I'm staying with it.

Three Weeks of Sample Photos
It's been three weeks since I posted any of my trip photos to MV, not for lack of will, just been busy traveling. I've given up on catching up so this post is a one picture per day sampling of the territory I've covered. If you want to know more about the trip or see more pictures, visit [url]www.SingleCylinderPsyche.com[/url] It's my non-commercial blog with pictures and some narrative describing them.

Awesome Trip!
Thanks for sharing your adventure & beautiful photos with us!
I see you were towed a second time. Was that for another damaged tire or something else? |

Thanks!
Sorry about that...I was completely drawn to the photos and missed the link to your blog at the beginning. I'll check it out!
Looks like you are already headed West again. I was hoping you were headed down to Florida. Ok, back to your blog. I have a lot of catching up to do! ⚠️ Last edited by SlowLaneShane on UTC; edited 1 time

Bilbo, you really have the knack of grabbing the imagination of the casual viewer and whisking him off on your travels. Even the Vespa becomes an observer in many of your photos.
I will take the time to read your blog now that I've come across it 8) |

Have really enjoyed coming along on your journey with you. Your photography has been awesome with the Vespa an important part of each shot, either as the focal point of that interesting bit that draws your eye. Well done.
