And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
#12 is what you get when you crop the shot to make a normal sand dune crest look like it's verticle. It's not.
I did the same thing in college when a friend was climbing. Cropping an angled ascent into a vertical one made him look like a climbing bad@$$, and he was so happy with it, he put it up on the dorm room wall all year as a chick magnet. (It worked.)
Another fantastic friday picture group. Love it all. Keeps getting better. The bike slinging sand is slightly photo shopped. They just rotated the picture till one side of the dune is vertical and turned it into another worldly. After cresting the dune he should be heading down hill. I don't care. It looks cool this way.

These are fantastic. The drawing of the village evokes all kinds of possible conversations.
ReplyDelete#7 I wonder how long to carve that rock. And why so wide?
#9 That looks like Kaneohe Bay. If so, she is pointing at K-Bay MCAS. Or possibly a flight of Osprey.
#12 What type of sand holds such an angle of repose? It must have a lot of clay in it.
#7, I'm betting for drainage purposes and if you have to house track gangs out there to repair something
DeleteI don't know where it is, but it could be a snow issue.
DeleteGotta have some place to put a bunch of snow.

DeleteGood selection, F-1, one of Speed Racers challenges and a sand black hole.
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm here safe and comfortable
#7 If you had to define "determination" with a picture...
