This way to

This hand was carved by one of the local Artists as a way marker to the Ardfern arts festival
2 years ago. It has become the norm when giving directions to Ardfern to say drive to the hand and follow the direction it points.

Now for some fun can anyone post on the subject of transport. the next poster gets to choose the next subject.

Now that John has pointed the way with his excellent theme, I'll start the ball rolling with the final word in transport safety and reliability ...

Re: This way to

Does it have to be a jet?

Messed up a bit on this photo. Clipped the right wing and stopped the propellor so I had to do a bit of rebuilding. Not sure that I've got it exact yet.

How about 2 wheels next . . .

Re: This way to

They fly faster than some jets, so close enough!

PS: Do you need some help getting these to display inline?

Two Wheels .. entrance to the reserve wherein is found "the Billabong" of Waltzing Matilda fame.
I first passed these wheels in 1960.. at that time, all spokes on both wheels were intact.
They haven't been removed by termites!

Re: This way to

Hi Chris,

A touch of irony, as my photo was taken about 50 yards from many ducks!

Anyway, I know a good way to fix this problem ... (I'm sure I said ducks in my post!) ...

thats a gorgeous bit of water rrox, and especially pleased to see it taken at a speed so it still looks like water not spilt milk.

Re: This way to

Does this count as marine life? Think it spends as much time in the water as out

Re: This way to

Hmmm ... I s'pose if a Spitfire (??) is "close enough" to a jet plane......
This great action shot fits the bill for marine life.
I notice you've stopped the water as well; I do feel too much is made of arranging a "dreamy"look for water.

Where to next?

Yes it is (see post #3), and appropriately enough, originally a photo reconnaissance version!

Part of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, it's about 2/3s down this page.

I just love the sound of these things (well, technically the Merlin engine), they give me goose bumps everytime I hear them, even on TV if the sound HiQ enough to get the bass out.

Other pics are good too; esp. ducks, waterfall and surfer!

Re: This way to

It's becoming difficult to keep up with the traffic in here! A good buzz, just the same.

RE #16 I like the shadow effect on the path Chris .. might even to make the subject with contrast adjustment, if that's the correct language

#17 Lovely shot of this alert animal .. the lighting's perfect, isn't it?

#18 Sorry, the lizard (?) looks a little damp ;) but it't really difficult to get a good exposure/composition in aquariums

Re: This way to

Nice change of pace. I actually think given the variety of sports there are out there, we should be able to see some interesting images on sports. Don't got a rusty roof picture. sorry...

Just a quick addition to Rustyshutter's comments. This was from an air display during the 2007 Regatta and featured a Spitfire, Hurricane & Lancaster - triple goosebumps!

We had the Red Arrows last year but I didn't bother to watch. For me, there was no comparison.

Re: This way to

You do have to be quick Pete!! My candidate for the huge beast dipped out by minutes (I reckon) to the excellent hippo shot; I trust my dinosaur gets a run sometime .. perhaps will fit another heading.
Your fire is scary!! Those choppers are fabulous in their dousing runs.
Right now, we're experiencing terrible bush fires in our Southern States,following more than a week of temperatures in the mid 40s (Celsius)

Re: This way to

Richard, yes Africa indeed, although not quite in the "wild" It was taken at a place called Haller Park, Bamburi Beach, Kenya. Luckily this chap was behind a large wall! Hippos kill more people in Africa than any other animal combined apparently.

Pete, awsome, although I liked the one you posted a while back with a similar background but with a police officer in his car.

I hope you'll forgive liberty taken here on two counts

1.. Not my photo (taken by my wife, who suggested it might be a fun entry one day)

2.. subject is Moi! What a mug!

I won't be disappointed if it is disqualified (where's the smiley when you need one?)

Re: This way to

Nice to meet you Richard and so obviously enjoying! Thanks for the hippo Mark, you rarely see the whole beast, but a lovely mouth & always happy to be reminded of 2 years in Kenya when younger. I remember conversations beside Lake Baringo, one of our favourite swimming spots, as to whether it was safer if you could see their dear little heads or if you couldn't:rolleyes:

Re: This way to

I saw an "out of the box" joke the other day that made me laugh. Cat was sitting in it's litter box - owner was saying to it: "Never - EVER - Think Outside the Box!"

So - Richard - now that we have an out of the box, what's next?
