Modern Vespa

But I also have a Lubitel, which came into my hands when the USSR was still there. And that's an heirloom.

I’ll bet that weighs a ton! I’ve got a Zorki IV... a copy of a Liece range finder from the 50s, you could anchor the Queen Mary with the silly thing.

In most supermarkets, food and related items can be found in the aisles.
But here in the neighboring city of Ashland, Oregon, if you search carefully... you can find serenity for sale.

Thank you all for 200,000 views of this thread!!!!

Keep it going! Share your artistic eye!

Foun a quiet spot above San Francisco with a LensBall at daybreak.

Just for fun.

Took some photos of a bunch a dead gangsters the other day…Vespa riding in the people gardens #8

Very cool shots, wheelz
My favorite is the 3rd in the series, of (Sam?) Giancana - with your Vespa partially profiled in front of it - a great image!

Down at a local (southern Oregon) Supermarket, there is a new item in stock in the section which has random postcards, hats, and children's toys: a paper cut-out puppet book of... Pablo Picasso!

Pre-pandemic, when I could still have coffee on the sidewalk!

O.S.

Spotted this green-skinned Biker riding what looks like a chromed Harley just outside my back and the interesting thing is, his head seems to be so heavily-armored that he apparently doesn't need a helmet. At least he was doing the speed limit...

This was taken from the back of a river cruise ship on the Siene.

A nice little chateau in Bourgogne.

Here is a fun one.

A couple weeks ago, I took a buddy out to teach him about night photography... He's going through a rough time right now with some intense personal matters, so a night out looking at peaceful things was cathartic for him. Every time I see the photos I shoot at night, I remember the mood at the time it was taken. It's why I love night photography. Here's a shot from that night.

I did not take the picture, but it is one of the best of me and my son, Redrum. He is a total sweetheart, most of the time, but he does not like to be picked up by anyone, including me, as you can see...

In 2017 my wife and I joined four other couples from my motorcycle club for a trip to ride the Alps. My wife, a So Cal resident from age 1 had never made snow angels before. We were traveling through a pass where there was snow on either side of the road. So..

Same road but from a different perspective.

old fence line. once the cows came, it was destroyed, but a fine picture hangs over my fireplace.

Very cool shot, Guzzi Gal.

I'm curious: was this the actual lighting when you took the photo? Or did you add the colors in 'Post' (Post-production - aka inside your computer)?

I used the above image as the header for my YouTube channel. There were several color-changing LEDs placed around the front yard. I admit to amping up to saturation a bit to bring out the jewel tones. It was taken in the front yard of a local artist and club member's studio. Kristin Wesley's wonderful work in metal, murals, paintings, etc. can be seen around the Valley.

I want one.

If you see this photograph on your computer now you are lucky. This is a computer generated wonder of me. It does not get any better. Thank you!

In southern Oregon we have been getting massive and unhealthy smoke pollution, from the forest fires all around Oregon - as well as numerous one from California, which neighbors us. This morning, I went up to the summit of Mt. Ashland - which is on the Oregon side of the border - and took this photograph looking south toward Mt. Shasta, the towering volcanic mountain to the south. You can see Mt. Shasta in the center of the photograph, it appears to be rising up from a sea of clouds and fog - but that 'fog' is actually an immense bank of smoke from numerous California wildfires, stretching out literally as far as my camera lens can see (and even farther).

It makes for a rather beautiful image - but when you are in the middle of the smoke, it is rather horrendous - and definitely unhealthy, for breathing.

One more shot, also taken this morning, of Mt. Shasta rising above a sea of what looks like fog but is actually dense smoke from many different forest wildfires.

But this version is in color, and gives a different feel to this beautiful mountain.

I could shoot this bridge 20 times a year and walk away with favorites each time.
I did get doused from the crashing of the inbound wave in this shot. Totally worth it. Remind me to go at low tide, not the rising...

Yeah.

My scoot, my city…

After I retired in 2019 a buddy and I took 8 days to ride from San Diego to Fort Bragg, California on our 1200GS "Adventure" bikes. It was traveling in a very different manner than I am accustomed to. No dinner reservations or hotel reservations, using phone apps each day to accomplish both.

Yeah, we stayed in some cool places by accident along the way. And I got this shot of a lighthouse off of California "1".

We rode from Phoenix to Prescott, over Mingus Mountain, and through Jerome. Then stopped for lunch in Cottonwood and rode back to Phoenix. It was 113 miles up to Mingus Summit, 127 miles back.

Top shot. Perfectly framed.

You really do have a knack for it
