The "back yard" of the food zone of the local Fair. Normally, you are looking at the front of the food truck/trailer/kiosk, checking the prices, decided on your purchase. This is the back, where all of the preparation and setup goes on. Not nearly as gaudy and bright. At night, you probably don't see the back at all, just the bright lights. (In case you are intrigued, "shave ice" is a Hawaiian invention. The "snocone" is more well known: a scoop of crushed ice with flavored sirup on top. The variant from the Islands has taken over the US. The smaller bottles you see on the tables contain the sirups.) Image processed with GIMP.

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.

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.

Very nice red horn in one of the classic/antique automobiles at the car show in New Jersey, 2022. Image processed with GIMP.

Taken when we visited a car show in New Jersey. We were spending Thanksgiving with the family, and decided to get out of the house for a bit. A local car club was displaying their pride and joy machines. Lots of fun. Image processed with GIMP.

Taken during our stop in Halifax, NS. The bitt seems strong enough to hold a ship. The rest of the construction (including the wall) is part of the tie-up area along the harbour. (Square format for Sunday Challenge) Image processed with GIMP.

During one of our visits to this remarkable town, I spotted the red church door through the iron fence that surrounded the church. Image processed with GIMP.

Taken during that quick visit to the Bosporus on our cruise in 2016. This is one of the few areas I photographed that had benches for people to sit and enjoy all of the activity on the water. There were a lot of tankers in this narrow area. For the Sunday Challenge, this depicts contrast: a huge tanker ship, and the small human figures in the foreground. Image processed with GIMP.

Taken near the Arc in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The leaves are starting to turn (September 25) here and there. Image processed with GIMP.
