tell me you got another pic of the superbirds spoiler (or nose) - ever so distinctive!

 

funny thing is that the car isn't a superbird but it has the superbird decal. i have a pic of the entire car, but it's on a roll of film for now.

Film is great, but middling photographers like me wasted a lot of it to get a good picture... I like digital for the ability to shoot so many without developing a bunch of junk. Still miss it, though.

 

Since nobody has added for a while, I'll throw another in the mix. This is a shot from a little excursion to northern Arkansas, where there is a project to build a medieval castle, using original methods. I think they're planning on it lasting 30+ years. They have their own quarry on-site, as well as artisans in various fields. This is a shot from the pottery area, which was unmanned, but interestingly arranged, I thought.

Thanks Kathleen, what a nice picture, I love stone walls fences in the country I think they are underated as a sign of civilization, they keep the soil for centuries avoiding erosion and drought keeping the moisture and humidity of earth giving good pastures and fruits even in the desert. For many years I been thinking that it is the answer to low productivity in the agro, dont have to tell you that I hate the barbed wire. Greetings.

The colors, the energy, one can almost hear the busy street sounds while gazing at this amazing photo! Thanks for sharing.

 

I will share a tranquil residential scene I snapped in Edinburgh, Scotland, another great city but a very different vibe than Tokyo.

I just got back on FPN after an absence of several weeks, months, ...

 

The title of this thread caught my attention.

 

Love it.

 

Inspired me to add a few pics I took lately.

 

 

1. A private parking lot in Seattle

2. A building on a Main Street cutting through a small town somewhere in Minnesota. No, I didn't drop in, so I did not find a sumgai pen in it (that is another story I'll be telling when I take the appropriate photos).

3. In his recent travel book, The Roads to Quoz, William Least-Heat Moon writes about miles-long trains carrying nothing but coal, running on tracks parallel to the main highways in Wyoming. I caught the source of this kind of cargo while I was burning gasoline travelling full-speed (well, even more than the speed limit) on the I-90 somewhere around Gilette...

4. The Geographic Center of the USA, in Belle Fourche, South Dakota. So many French names throughout the Western Plains. Guess who were rambling around the place long before Lewis and Clark explored the area?

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
