Tractor Seats (HWW)

Outside the factory tour area of John Deere (in Illinois), there is a rest area made up of tractor seats. They are painted in the classic Deere green. Oh yes, they are attached to a wall. Image taken with phone and processed with GIMP.

A different view from the previous. This was taken in September (no crowds, but iffy weather) right after a snowstorm. I used the L-Monochrome setting on the Panasonic GX85 (intended to match the rich monochrome style of the Leica). Image processed with GIMP.

The weather was very dramatic when we visited Yellowstone in September. The best part was that the crowds had left. This is a view of Mammoth Hot Springs, taken with the Panasonic GX85 in "L-Monochrome" mode (intended to reproduce the Leica black and white experience). Image processed with GIMP.

Golden Gate Bridge

04 May 2024 11 4 81
Under the Golden Gate Bridge, as we sailed out. The wind was blowing very strongly. It was hard to hold the camera steady. End of a beautiful day in San Francisco. Image processed with GIMP.

Triangle Tavern Door

Along the main street near the pier in Astoria, Oregon. Lots of interesting sights in that area, not always the ones that the Chamber of Commerce promotes. Image taken with phone and processed with GIMP.

Triangle Tavern Sign

05 May 2024 30
Along the main street near the pier in Astoria, Oregon. Lots of interesting sights in that area, not always the ones that the Chamber of Commerce promotes. I love the sign and the great "triangle" theme. Image taken with phone and processed with GIMP.

Wind Surfers

04 May 2024 23
Under the Golden Gate Bridge. The wind was blowing very strongly. These wind surfers were will out of the main shipping channel. The tide was making, as we sailed out, adding to the danger for the surfers Image processed with GIMP.

Ship and Trolley Station (HFF)

05 May 2024 9 7 46
At the trolley station near the pier in Astoria, Oregon. The trolley wasn't running, so I had to hoof it. That's our ship (Regatta) in the background. Image taken with phone and processed with GIMP.

Stack and Bridge

04 May 2024 2 27
Under the Golden Gate Bridge, as we sailed out. The wind was blowing very strongly. It was hard to hold the camera steady. End of a beautiful day in San Francisco. I like the heat waves made by the exhaust of the ship's engines. Image processed with GIMP.

sandi hat

04 May 2024 2 22
We were passing Alcatraz and Sandi was taking movies. We were just about to go under the Golden Gate Bridge, as we sailed out. The wind was blowing very strongly, and her hair was sideways. It was hard to hold the camera steady. End of a beautiful day in San Francisco. Image processed with GIMP.

Crab Pots (H.A.N.W.E.)

These crab pots had very colorful floats. Taken along the waterfront near our cruise ship, Astoria, Oregon. Image taken with phone and processed with GIMP.

Golden Gate and Hot Tub

04 May 2024 22
We have sailed out of San Francisco, with the Golden Gate Bridge now in the background. Note the fellows sitting in the hot tub on the ship. The wind was blowing strongly, and I wouldn't want to walk around in a bathing suit. They obviously found a great place to view the majestic bridge. Image processed with GIMP.

Finnish Hall

05 May 2024 1 2 23
Historic building near the pier in Astoria, Oregon. There were many immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily due to the lumber industry. This building survived the construction of the huge bridge over the Columbia River. Image taken with phone and processed with GIMP.

Dim Sum (HTT)

At the Yank Sing in San Francisco. The food was good, but this is a very fancy restaurant in the financial district. Image processed with GIMP.
