if you had this car in 77 you are an old man

Pretty pics Jagg. That white stuff looks familiar, can't quite place it. Oh yeah, my introduction to snowmobiling in the moonlight in Wisconsin. Rolled it a few times before I got the hang of it.

Do you mean the car with dual rear wheels? Every year they feature one make at Laguna Seca. That year they brought the old Auto Union cars over from Germany. Pretty awesome. In the last set I posted the AU streamliner and the one with dual superchargers.

The pics are great Philiam. I've got nothing on your stuff......Standing at the bottom of the corkscrew at Laguna obviously has it's benefits. It's a beautiful course with a really dynamic layout. (I spent some time on and off, nearby , in years past )
Yesterday, I was standing ankle deep in the snow, in a pasture, snapping a pic of two donkeys.
(who were not impressed with my presence......even though in donkey terms, I'm a looker) All that trouble, and the pic didn't come out well.
Foiled again!! by an endless string of jackasses. Really, they're everywhere.

Best Regards,
Jagg

Jagg, you keep servin' up humble pie, but the flicks you're providin' r' outrageous. Jackass us all ya want, jus' don't stop providin' flicks, okay?

[jagg]

I've always been a " Flaky Crust" kinda guy. okay, mostly just flaky.

Nuttin wrong with your pics Jagg. I had the advantage of press creds. I've walked every inch of Laguna Seca, which was once part of Fort Ord. I think I walked every inch of that too.

[jagg]

Hi guys!
standing here in my office, lookin' out the window at your typical yonderland December day.......Cold, Windy, and snowing.

Another pic called "not an S2K". Cellphone photography at it's worst.
Gettin' the most oudda my snow diggers this year.

Yup. Bonneville salt flats, Wendover, Utah, at the Nevada line. The only time I ever went there 4" of water covered the salt. August, 1993. I think I'll go back in the upcoming summer. I REALLY want to see them run. Tune up the Maverick, there's probably a class for it!

[jagg]

Yeeeeaaaaa! What'd I win?

It occurred to me when I initially saw the pic, then I talked myself out of it. DOH!

Rest assured , the Maverick has no class, even if it was seen runnin' at Bonneville. Furthermore, the last thing it needs to see is any salt! There's already too many places where you can see it's innards showin'.........Can you imagine how hard it's going to be to find a Maverick to photograph?

Best Regards,
jagg

[DJJSR]

You won this picture of a Maverick. Not just any Maverick, but the much sought after Maverick Grabber. Suitable for framing.

[jagg]

I'll use my prize as a reference.......i'll be carryin' it with me so I can spot the elusive Maverick easier.

Really, when's the last time anybody saw one on the road?
I've got my eyes peeled.

Here is a pic I took a couple of years ago when I was in Maine visiting my mother, I have always loved it for some reason...

Cozy Little Dog House -

[SXY_S2K]

This is a picture I took of a statue when in Sedona, AZ at an outdoor art marketplace. I swear I didn't photoshop it AT ALL

[SXY_S2K]

These are a couple more I took at the same art market...

[SXY_S2K]

And this is a shot I took through the windshield of the S2K when I was driving just the other day. I have an odd facination with clouds I guess, lol.

[SXY_S2K]

Here are some portraits I took of my friend this weekend of her at 7 months pregnant. I think pregnant women are beautiful and it helps that she used to actually BE a model, lol.

Clouds are neat. You should try experimentimg with a polarizing filter some time.
