once in a lifetime photos

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

#18 has some Manatee Grey (and white, too) in it.

I'm not even sure they are geese at all.  More likely ducks.

stay safe.

That's what I was thinking. Isn't there a timber duck or wood duck that likes to nest in trees?

#9 is a lot of peking duck.
#39 the roller coaster that fell into the ocean after the pier was destroyed. I think that is photo shopped.
There is no way to look directly out to sea at it, that area where the picture "looks" like it is taken would still be full of pilings that were not torn out by the storm.
I needed a mod to change my signature because the concept of "family friendly" eludes me.
Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

I don't see how it would be a "once in a lifetime" shot, anyway.

Because they are or did (not sure if its done yet) removing it from the ocean.

All the lightning ones are quite obviously long-exposures.
On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
