East Point Lighthouse, Prince Edward Island. Both the light and the keeper's house are white clapboard with red metal roofs. The weather is sunny, but with a dark cloud hanging above. The Gulf of St. Lawrence is visible in the background.
A day when the #sky couldn't decide whether to rain or shine, so it did both. East Point Lighthouse, Prince Edward Island.

Taken from an elevated perspective (25th floor of a building), the shot is dominated by a dramatic sky of broken clouds with sunbeams coming through over a broad bay. In the foreground are buildings, including a large blue water tower. A long low bridge crosses the bay to the left.

A dead tree, with broken branches pointing in all directions, stands on a mountainside. Behind it is another ridge with fall colors on the trees, and beyond that is a vast plain stretching to the distant horizon. The sky above is bright blue with a few small clouds floating by. Little Devils Stairs Overlook, Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia.

A motorcycle parked on a sandy riverbank, and reflected in a shallow puddle. Sunshine, blue sky, and cotton ball clouds.
It was 74ยฐ F in Calvert County, Maryland today. Perfect for a Thanksgiving eve ride!

A Navy vet in uniform carries an upside down U.S. flag and a sign reading "Impeach Convict Remove." He is walking beside the reflecting pool with the Lincoln Memorial in the background.
Excellent shot! He stood out to me too:

A black motorcycle, parked beside a straight rural two-lane road on a misty overcast morning. In the background is a sign reading "Welcome to Oklahoma." This was during a six week, 10,000 mile trip, which helps explain the overloaded bike.
"Welcome to Oklahoma"
Accidentally jumped from OH to PA last week, skipping OK and OR. I've been to Oregon, but not on a bike, so no pic. Here's a misty morning in Oklahoma, though.

A beautifully restored BMW 2800CS.

A BMW 2800CS well on its way to returning to its elemental particles. It's hard to see, but there is a tree growing out of the back seat through the rear window. Behind it is a BMW 2002 in a similar state.

A rural road enters the bottom left corner of the frame and runs into the distance, past homes, mailboxes, and a sign reading Welcome to Pennsylvania, Adams County. Just beyond the sign, a gravel road meets the paved road, and a motorcycle waits, parked at the junction.

A scrappy pine tree growing from a crack in the rock at Raven's Roost overlook, Shenandoah National Park. Behind the tree is an expansive view of a broad valley under sunny blue skies.

A view from the base of Devil's Tower looking up. A few pine trees are growing up through the boulder field below, then the column of the tower stretches into a clear blue sky.

Autumn crepuscular rays over the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. In the foreground trees are turning orange, in the background the sun through the clouds creates a peach colored haze over several mountain peaks, including the truncated Massanutten on the right.
