Every week we select a new theme, and then go out and shoot that theme. This week's the theme is Transportation. As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.


Show us some Transportation. All kinds of Transsportation


Here are the rules:
1. Shots need to be taken between Monday Sunset and the following Monday by Sunset (Whenever that is for you ). Because this activity is supposed to encourage us to get out and shoot, please don't post old shots from your archives. Snapshots and art are equally welcome -- just get out & shoot, and then share!
2. Post your shots at any time during the week.
3. Post a maximum of two shots if you're uploading them to POTN (i.e., attaching them). You can post more than two if you're linking to shots that are not hosted by POTN (i.e. embedding them), but keep within POTN rules. Also keep within POTN rules about size. A copy of the size rules can be found here: IMAGE POSTING RULES
That's it! Have fun! As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.
An index to previous weeks can be found here: POTN WORLDWIDE PHOTO WEEK INDEX

That's it!
Have fun!

Love it!


Last night I had the opportunity to photograph a Huey, unfortunately I didn't have anything other than my phone. :-(

Thanks, Mark. We're involved in the "California Purple Heart, Outdoor Tour" and they fly this Huey onto the ranch that hosts the opening dinner.
I'm not sure what they do with it for the rest of the year. :-)

It's a program offered by the California Water Fowl http://www.calwaterfow​l.org/veteran-hunt-program (external link) I believe it's part of the Wounded Warrior Project.
They have a veteran hunting program that puts these on all over the US (not just water fowl) and I'm pretty sure it's all expenses paid (they just need to get a license and tag).
They mentioned last night that they are also going to start offering other outdoor adventures that don't involve hunting, like kayaking for example.?

John, Stina, Paul--good representations of local specialties!

I wish I had something exciting or exotic, but here goes anyway. Things get transported as well as people. Sand in a landscaper's truck:

That truck doesn't rate high on symmetry, does it?
