Nice crisp image of the "B" Rolk... Very very engaging little sports car...
I was loaned one in the 70s to do a Motorkhana; had a ball.

Anyway, here's my contribution.

My ZX12R.

Shot yesterday in the back yard before I gave it wash.

I have a car too, but I only use that if it's raining/wet roads
or I have to carry more stuff than I can put in a GearSack
and back pack.

As far as Transportation goes......this is one of those......Whatevers! Following 9 days at sea while on our way to Barcelona from Florida we arrived at the island of Madeira (Funchal) in Portugal. (April 2016) We had a tour that included a ride down the hillside on one of these toboggans/sleds. They have been doing this here for over 100 years.

Each toboggan has 2 guys who hop on and off to guide us down the hill. They use ropes and their feet to steer and brake as needed. The men have special shoes that are designed to give traction down the steep, narrow, twisting streets. Both their shoes and the runners on the sleds have to be replaced every few weeks. Local factories handle those jobs.

My goal here will be to share a bit of the feeling you might get while riding down these regular neighborhood streets, with not too much traffic! No where else can one do this so it's a once in a lifetime thrill and I'm happy to have done it. Please enjoy a tiny bit of this virtual experience. Bob

Welcome to the "Transportation" Challenge. Feel free to include images of your favorite ways to go from one place to another, or images of how you'd like to go from one place to another.

Just a couple reminders: please, keep it "family friendly," and while this falls under the "Photo Contests, Challenges, Periodicals," the only prize is knowing you contributed something that other members might enjoy. Also, unless someone specifically asks for advice on how to improve their image, please refrain from providing critique. There is another section on UHH for just that, but this is not that place. This is the place where we just kick back and have fun.

Hope you enjoy.

Tim

Not the greatest photo, majorly cropped for detail. The other day I looked up while in my backyard and thousands of feet up where commercial airliners fly I saw something weird. It looked like two planes on top of each other. It wasn’t until I edited the photo that I saw it was a plane refueling another, pretty rare and cool.


Wow! What a rare opportunity to be able to capture something like that.

Thanks Tim


I think it's interesting to see the captain/pilot in short sleeves, while the boat is surrounded by heavy thick ice.
