RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge



Your CB (and preferably you) need to be in the pic. If you can manage to get your bike into space close enough for a pic with the asteroid, that would probably be some kind of record. If on the other hand, the asteroid where to hit Earth near your CB, it’s fairly likely that your picture would turn out over-exposed. Wink

Harsh situations, but will take those into consideration.

Okay, less talk ... more rock!

Another pretty 70-degree Fahrenheit January day in Texas. (21 in Celsius.) Did a 95-mile country loop and this is the best I could come up with ...

Neat, zbillster. The gravel is a nice touch.

RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge



Today the weather "rocked" for Jan 8 ... almost 60 degrees, under partly sunny skies but very windy with an approaching cold front, so I thought I'd take the CB out and see if I could find some rocks for the photo challenge

I live near the river and we have lots of flat rocks here. The Germans that settled here found them perfect for building.... houses, barns, walkways, gardens, etc

adding to zbillster's theme here is a whole church made of rock

[Image: 58a82af0911b8220f27cfb24fa52f236.jpg]

It is the Grant Methodist Church in Pt Pleasant, Ohio about 300 yards north of where the ex President and civil war hero Ulysses S. was born

They also used these types of rocks for making fences for their land, called dry stack walls, where no mortar was used to hold them together. Just rocks stacked together. These fences have lasted over 100 years made like this

[Image: ae4073b6c426dd4dd372ba455fd1af8c.jpg]

Can't imagine the labor it took to make the miles and miles of these stack walls I ride past here

of course we have some big non flat rocks too and people use these to mark the end of their drive ways, or for blocks in turn around spots wherever they don't want someone driving

[Image: 742f97fdd519fdf2788e29c11fb5f008.jpg]

Now..my wife is a rock collector and has them from all over the world, even pieces of the Berlin wall, and from Russia and Europe and Canada and Mexico and about every state in the US including Alaska. Whenever I ride someplace new, I have to bring her back a rock. Not sure where this one is from, but it's from her collection and pretty cool I think

That's it. A bunch of rocks.

nice array, Ferret. Smile
Inasmuch as noroomtomove's photo assignment included the option "Any kind of rock you like", I believe that zbillster's submission not only qualifies but should be applauded for its ingenuity. zbillster gets to pic February's subject, but let's keep this month's assignment ..ummm.. rocking.
