Hey Mark - beautiful photos here! got any details on this comet? I was out riding in the country last night and one of the skymap charting apps said there was supposed to be a comet visible, but I couldn't see it. It would have been in the western sky here. Maybe I needed some slow shutter, time lapse or a telescope. I did just barely make out the Milky Way, though. Looking forward to Winter Skies...mhardy6647 wrote: »35 mm lens (on DX sensor format)
took a little liberty with this in post processing to bring out some shadow detail and add a little dramatic effect. the second photo is more what it was it like out there just after sunset. This is in NC near the Currituck Sound.
@Geoff4rfc - took the Buell out for a spin... it's nice out there on the quiet country roads in the eves...

You are welcome anytime, Geoff. Just hit me up anytime and we'll make plans to make it happen.

A few images off FB of ranch lands in the panhandle of western Nebraska. The Sandhills extend in this region also. Very scenic in many areas. Quite lonely also.

At least it's not as boring as some parts of Kansas. Jeez, you drive and drive and drive and drive some more and all you see is grass on both sides of a two lane highway, 5 or 6 feet up from the plains.
The local entertainment is a series of telephone poles that parallel the highway about a half a mile away the entire stretch. No humans. No buildings. No features. No hills. No nothing but grass.....oh! and the telephone poles!
And then you keep driving...and driving.....and driving.........and driving. Same damned thing for lawd knows how many hundreds of miles. It's so vast that one can literally see the curvature of the Earth.

Well, TBT, things may have changed. (I seriously doubt it out there....their ain't jack chit!).
This was back in the late 80's, when I hitchhiked across America.

Tom, you are too kind! You'd be the first person I'd hit up if I were anywhere near Charlotte however I was asking to be picked to ride Scott's bike. And by golly, if @msg were to let me throw a leg over that Buell, NC is the first place I'm headed

The Buell would need fresh brakes and tires before you got a hold of it. Even if it were just a trip to the grocery store.

That sounds like quite an adventure, Tom.

Tom, I think its the telephoto lens effect in those photos. If you were walking/driving it, it would probably still feel as you described. -

I-80 across Nebraska is just as boring as I-70 across Kansas. It follows the Platte River valley halfway across Nebraska. The photos I posted are from northwest NE, far north of I-80. It's not an easy side trip off I-80. In general the Nebr. Nat'l. Forest area in the NW, the Sand Hills just to the southeast and the north central Niobrara river areas are the most scenic. There are some great areas in the east along the Missouri River that are very scenic too. Once you reach Lincoln on I-80 it's all plains, like Kansas.

I've driven I-80 across Nebraska, I find myself staring off into those rolling hills and imagining herds of buffalo and Indians chasing them for food.

One of my most memorable experiences was after Colorado was behind me, (hitch hiked from Tacoma Washington State to Northern VA) a trucker picked me up and he asked me if I wanted to drive. It was an 18 wheeler. After grinding some gears and **** up low to high a couple of times, I finally got the hang of it. That cat actually went in back and slept, while I drove his truck for about 4 hours or so. Imagine that....a 16 year old behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler!
I couldn't believe it but a couple of hot girls even picked me up. Some ugly ones too but it kept me going along my journey. I doubt that would ever happen in today's world.

That had to have been an indescribable experience, in fact, I believe there have been multiple songs written about it.
