This was last week on a local ride on Palomares road (temporarily closed) .. Untouched photo but I noticed the slightly burnt orange tank color maybe due to the lighting conditions .. just like the vintage bikes in faded oranges ..

Lake Michigan in SW Michigan. 86° (30° C), water temp 50° (10° C). Pure Michigan!

Nice view. The lake's on the wrong side, though.

C-breezy, Google Wisedrum's Kiel Canal. Pretty cool history on that thing.

Finally got to read up on the Kiel Canal - pretty cool! I like how ships from a certain size upwards are obliged to take on a pilot and a canal steersman to advise the captain in transit.

 

[Wisedrum]

The Kiel Canal is really astonishing. Worldwide the most frequented artifical waterway.
In 2016 round 30.000 ships passes the canal. Nearly daily I cross it on the Prinz Heinrich Bridge. Sometimes the Levensauer Bridge. Ships, which take this route, don't have to ship around Denmark to reach wether the Baltic Sea or North Sea. It's a good appreviation. On my trips I somtimes cross the canal with a ferry in Königsförde just to be on the water for a short moment. It's free, because it's part of a public street.

Ganz oben im nordlichen Teil Deuschlands. Schoen.

Another water picture. The Westensee, a lovely nature park in the surroundings of my hometown.

Freue mich über deine Deutschkenntnisse.

The Challenge: A user (the first one will be yours truly) will pick a location, landmark, geographical feature, etc. to serve as the backdrop for your photo. Users will then post photos meeting the requirement in this thread for our ogling pleasure. The first user to submit a qualifying photo chooses the backdrop for the following month's challenge.

The goal: To encourage users to get out and ride and to document those rides with photos and, most of all, to have a little fun with the whole process.

The Rules:
1. The CB1100 must be the featured bike in the photo. Caption the photo with the date and the location.
2. Feel free to alter your photo to make it look better, but don't cut and paste into another photo just to qualify.
3. The photos should be new photos, not something you had on file and especially not something you posted elsewhere in this forum.
4. You may post multiple qualifying pictures in a month, but the background has to be different (ex. you can post two pictures of your bike in front of a train station, but they have to show two different stations)
5. Not really a rule, but don't stop trying to get a picture for a particular month just because someone beat you to the first post for that month. We want to see lots of pictures.
6. The same user cannot pick the photo subject on consecutive months. If the first photo comes from the same user that posted the first photo in the prior month, the second user posting a photo will get to pick the next background subject.

Truly, 6 rules are probably 5 too many. Just go with the spirit of this challenge and get out and ride your motorcycle!
January Challenge (from EmptySea):

Let's see your CB1100 in front of a statue. Ready? Go!

Not a statue but may be to someone. 2014 cb1100 in front of large abandoned water tank statue. Taken yesterday 5/16/17 in Cox , Georgia

[LongRanger_imp]

Oops, I never read the rules. Sorry about my recent submissions!

 

[Ben70_imp]

You had "body of water" pics LR. And frozen counts.

Ben

 

[Cormanus]

Yes, but perhaps they were not new photos? Doesn't really matter they were lovely.

 

[curlyjoe]

There is a nice stretch on Route 31 in southern NH that runs by a fast moving stream called Walker Brook. Since our drought is officially over, there's plenty of water in our rivers and streams this spring.
