My dad spent many years building that bike the way he wanted. You should be happy it's on the road. When my dad and I found it, it was nothing more than a frame and a gas tank. The rest was built from parts we bought.

Moon over Ketchikan, Alaska - December 14, 2013

Just had a few days off and tripped over to Morro Bay, on the central coast of California. On the right side of the harbor is Morro Rock, the remains of an ancient volcano, still about 800 feet high. First visited in 1542 by Cabrillo on his voyage on the west coast of North America.

Just gorgeous.   
It's all about timing isn't it.

I call this picture   "The Tree"
Taken in Fair Oaks, California, above the bluffs, of the American River.

[Fred]

Pretty amazing isn't it. I hope it survives another year.

Do you know what tree it is?

[nvrbdn]

its not long from being a heck of a nice fish bed.

Do you know what tree it is?

Oak tree.
They can be up to 200 years old around Northern California.
A very hardy, long lived, species of tree.

For me, i think that's probably the best picture that i have taken.  I like it a lot.
Quite a few people that i know, have a 30 x 20 blow up of it, framed, and hanging in their household.

[Fred]

Yes it's a beautiful pic. Would look great on a wall. Magnificent trees, oaks. The hills here are full of them.  Hope it can hang in there.

how long till the pom's have bought it ?

Had to look that one up. 

Pommy or Pom[edit]

The terms pommy, pommie and pom, in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa usually denotes an English person (or, less commonly, people from other parts of the UK).[9] After complaints to the Australian Advertising Standards Board about five advertisements poking fun at "Poms",[10] the Board ruled (in 2006) that these words are not offensive.[11] The New Zealand Broadcasting Standards Authority made a similar ruling in 2010.
There are several folk etymologies for Pommy or Pom. The best-documented of these is that pommy originated as a contraction of "pomegranate".[12][13] According to this explanation, "pomegranate" was Australian rhyming slang for "immigrant".[14] Usage of "pomegranate" for English people may have been strengthened by a belief in Australia that sunburn occurred more frequently among English immigrants, turning those with fair skin the colour of pomegranates.[15] Another explanation – now generally considered to be a false etymology – was that "pom" or "pommy" were derived from an acronym such as POM ("Prisoner of Millbank"), POME ("Prisoner of Mother England") or POHMS ("Prisoner Of Her Majesty's Service").[16] However, there is no evidence that such terms, or their acronyms, were used in Australia when "pom" and "pommy" entered use there. Another folk etymology suggests that the term was derived from the word "pompous".[citation needed]
