Weekly Photography Challenge Thread

I do not know the road or hogsback (LOL not many flatlanders know what that is), however looks very familiar... You can take the boy out of the mountains but never will take the mountains out of the man, trust me.

Great job Marc, on the photo thread Ben said you have reached another level, and I agree and then some. Well done, Bravo Zulo.

Been a rough couple of weeks for me, my youngest son has a full body CT scan tomorrow for cancer, he is 24. I moved to Mn. from Asheville, NC 14 years ago where I had retired from the Navy. My father had died of cancer then and a headhunter hit me up at the right time and figured I couldn't cure cancer but I could help those that might. Never thought it would skip me and hit my son, as far as goals and challenges in real life I hope it isn't an epic fail. Thought about posting a picture of the Mayo brothers statues last week for goals but couldn't do it. Where your father and I work we recently agreed to spend 22.5 Billion to make it a Destination Medical Center (DMC) over the next 20 years. LOL couldn't come up with a decent picture here at this time of year but my mind is occupied with other thoughts. After 20 years in some of the hottest places on earth and more than a half dozen heat strokes, the North will do although I miss the gentle pace of the South. You have done well, thank you for that and what your pictures have conveyed. That is what they are supposed to do IMO... Thank you.

 

Thoughts and prayers with you and yours Mike, rough hand to play.

After some time here I'm starting to understand that statement It's similar to the comfort and adventure big blue/gichigami/lake superior offer. Hold those mountain memories dear, they are special!

Hogsback is just a type of heave or large thrusted chunk of sedementary package or other rock with a steep side and a gentle sloped side, usually in the foothills of a larger mtn range.

 

Mike, my thoughts go out to you, your son, and your family, as well. I hope the CT scan brings some good news. I'm 22 and feel like I have much much more to learn and live and I'm sure your son feels the same.

No shot from me this week, unfortunately...been busy all week working on the truck.

Little late to the challenge, and it's not technically a 'No Trespassing' sign, but pretty close.

 

Dangit! I took a couple photos for this challenge yesterday and forgot to post one up!

 

thanks for the entries guys I think I have to go with westcoastcole, your picture draws me in and makes we want to find out whats up those stairs.

 

Thanks Devin! Was definitely a tricky challenge. PM has been sent and a new challenge should soon be posted. Good Luck everyone!

 

New challenge!!

Devil is in the details..

Looking for anything detailed orientated. So this is pretty open. Can be taken many ways.

No restrictions.

Go!

 

Got the notification to my phone w/new challenge.. happened to be at a buddies house with an old school wooden carved hutch so here's my entry for the week.

 

Couldn't get the no trespassing sign with the "snow apocalypse" messing up my normal work schedule, loved both entries.

As for this week, The Bride and Groom from my last wedding sent this to me as a thank you, got it in the mail today. Pretty cool.

 

Great stuff in here lately everyone!

Getting in early this week so I don't miss another one...

Took this with my phone yesterday My work thrives in the details

Amazing entries everyone! Making it extremely difficult for me to pick a winner, but I'm going to give it to stroM-. The detail in the wood carving looks awesome, and it is a great photo. Onward to next week!
