Once a booming mining town of 9,000, most of what remains are white cross grave markers and memories of tragedy.

Shop dog that never hikes his leg on a car.

Factory Butte in Central Utah / U.S. in Utah looks like an alien formation in the middle of the remote desert that looks like another planet.

1969 GTO Judge






I think I hear a funny noise.


Customer states he fixed the brakes, but they still don't work right.

Nope, nope, nope!










The majestic 'Candelabra' Redwood found on the Shady Dell property along the Lost Coast Trail in California, United States.
The grove of trees grow close to the coast along the Peter Douglas Coastal Trail, which is a 2.3-mile extension of the southern end of the Lost Coast Trail. This ancient tree has its massive limbs twisted by gale force winds and the salty sprays from the ocean, which explains their particular shape, likened to the arms of a candelabra - hence this fitting nickname.

I never could imagine being able to see or hear Morse code. Enough can, of course. Never tried.
