The famous Panzer IV/70(A) at the Musée des Blindés in Saumur with a 75 mm projectile stuck in its frontal armor plate.
The only one of its kind remaining, it was knocked out by US Shermans near Vosges or Colmar in France towards the end of 1944. The Panzer IV/70(A) received a number of hits that caused significant damage. The front and side armor plates shattered, and the welds around the impact area cracked open. It was used by Free French forces after it received this damage.

The last two images are from the Talimena Scenic Drive in Oklahoma. Lot's of color to see. But there is a lot of green too. A really fun road. Yes, that is Oklahoma.

It requires me to pay money to a APP to add to my system to open it. Eff that, I refuse to play Apple's game.

If you have an Apple device it has a built in app to export an HEIC photo as a JPG or PNG.

I have my iPhone set to save in JPG. I am not buying a Mac just to convert the rare HEIC image. The add on app for Photoshop is 99 cents. I refuse to buy it on principal. If Apple wants us to adopt a all new format, they best make it free.

I will stick to JPG as it has been around for over 30 years and is part of every OS out there.






How the Andromeda galaxy would look from Earth if it were many times brighter than it is.






A harvested giant Amazonian water lily leaves from the tropical pond. Turn one over, and this is what you get: beauty without compare.

Totally justified!










Back 100 years to 1923. Many of you are familiar with Lombard Street, known as one of the most crooked streets in San Francisco. Originally a straight cobblestone street with a 27-percent grade, it was modified in 1922 to include multiple switchbacks so automobiles could utilize it more safely at a 16-percent grade. Now over a century later, it’s one of the most popular tourist spots in the city!

Nashville,Tennessee 1962.
Not one car had traction control or 4 wheel drive, and virtually all of them were on Bias Ply tires. No winter tires at all. The radial tires were not standard until 1976.

Calcata; located on top of a volcanic cliff. Its history goes back more than 3000 years.




This circle of 5000km radius is centered around Paris. Because of the projection (Mercator) it looks all funny and asymmetrical.


Demolition of the former town of Enfield, Massachusetts in 1939, and the approximate location in 2023. Enfield and three other towns were disincorporated in 1938 to construct the Quabbin Reservoir, which provides drinking water to Boston and a number of other communities in the state.
