Hmmm cool pics... perfect for The Random Picture Thread...

COMPETITION!

 

[jeff of pa]

threads get too many pics in them, problems with them opening properly may appear.

Then you just have Numbers & the word attachment all over

That's OK with what's seen as perceived problems but another way to look at threads is many go to those forums who appreciate the topic rather than just glossed over.
In the Picture Thread you can find real photo aficionados. ( I couldn't remember how to spell "Conasewers" All I got right was "Sewers")
You might not put a gold nugget in Dumpster Divers.

I only click on maybe six forums. There are probably too many anyway. Some haven't had a serious hit in years.

True story. Years ago my wife and i were close to james dean crash site and she said she felt weird. I told her the history of the area and she didnt say a word till we got to Morro Bay. I asked if she was OK and she said yes. I then told her you are not the first to feel that way.

Great pictures, but the one with the mummies or whatever they are is pretty creepy!

Great pictures Jeff,, I have hunted the Astoria park and have probably walked over the same sidewalk as those 2 girls on 42nd Street.
Thanks for the pictures.
