I think you'll have to re-do that one. It's a bit blurry. :D

It's good all that is behind you. I never had any desire to hang from a rope.

"FNQ"? If you say it fast, it sounds like something you probably didn't intend. :D

Thanks, same to you and yours. I was having fun.

By the way if you notice the curve in the ropes you will
see I was not "hanging" around.

Well, rather than be obviously vulgar, we would say something is Fn' stupid, or whatever. So instead of saying that famous seven letter word, people would say "Eff-n." That's as explicit as I'm going to get.

What did you mean by FNQ?

Good question Jerry. "Far North Queensland" is the answer.

It's a part of Eastern Australia North of the Tropic
of Capricorn.

The photo I posted is at Mount Stuart Townsville FNQ.

Townsville is the second largest city in Queensland. The largest being Queenslands capitol city Brisbane... which
is well and truly below the Tropic of Capricorn.

The tropic of Capricorn is the parallel 23.5 degrees below (South) of the equator. On the East coast of Australia the Queensland town of Rockhampton is on that line and Mount Stuart is roughly 700km (434 miles) North of Rocky.

For the sake of ART, man, let go of that rope and focus properly. :lol: Really shows the exposure of that particular climb. Very cool.

That looks like one of those crazy fast Beemers under you in your avatar...
this is my 1/3 of the Tri Axis of the fastest motorcycles on the planet.

It's 16 minutes into Christmas in my part of the world I've just noticed!

Thank you Jesus, as you and those that follow your philosophy make this a better world to live in.

Yes, my avatar is me on my crazy fast BMW. I might add that Lederhosen are not my normal riding attire. Leathers, yes! Lederhosen, not so much. Love The Kawasaki. Nice angle for that shot. I find that, once you get into this type of machinery, it is difficult to say: My bike is faster than yours because, at that level, it all comes down to rider; and you can't even come close to exploiting these machines on public roads. I take my bike to the track often which keeps me very humble. Lap times don't lie. Have a great Christmas.
