THESE LITTLE CARS HAVE BEEN GROSSLY UNDERESTIMATED. THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST DRIVES AROUND FOR IN-TOWN MOTORING. PEOPLE CAN JOKE ABOUT THEM, BUT UNLESS THEY BECOME UP-CLOSE AND PERSONAL, THEY WILL NEVER KNOW THE4 JOY OF YUGO OWNERSHIP........Robert

THIS IS A GREAT PHOTOGRAPH BY LARYSA KOCHEL
A TRIBUTE TO YOUR PHOTOGRAPHIC SUBJECT
the natural layout, the way it grew, flourished and was then consumed by the season is akin to the grace and dignity of the old and weary, the elderly, the aged; a plant with a bit of bloom left still attracts a view, though it is almost hidden in some secret spot, out of the public eye, its decay proof of a life full of sunshine.

WHO REMEMBERS THOSE GREAT DAYS WHEN EVERYONE LOVED THE MARLBORO MAN? We didn't judge him becuse he enjoyed a good smoke. Sure, smoking is not always the greatest thing. I wouldn't advise anyone who does not smoke to start, but I have been smoking since the 50s and I know that it is a terminal generation, so it is kind of a trade off. Oh, if I could live another 70 years if I stopped smoking my pipe, I might consider it, but in the mean time, I will remain pissed off because we can't smoke in our favorite bars. No, I don't drink anymore, I drank my share. But let's face it, there are those who enjoy a smoke with their drinks and it is a damned shame to have to see these individuals standing outside of a bar puffing. Are they somekind of sub-humans or what? No, it's all about someone who got a hair crosswise and had the authority to start writing bans. Well, the time will come when this is one of the liberties we will get back and it won't be too long. The people, the folks, will only play these games so long before we demand the restoration of our inalienable rights.

EXCELLENT REMINDER OF THE PAST. WOULD BE THE PERFECT ILLUSTRATION FOR ANY NUMBER OF POEMS. The oft read poem by Robert Frost about the snowy evening when his horse gave his harness bells a shake, to ask if there was something queer about the darkest evening of the year. This could well be the phantom image of Frost's unnamed horse. Oh, the joy of the imagination makes life worth living. Even after nearly seven decades of earthly experiences, I find each new day an adventure. Flickr is a great diversion, a most valuable contribution to all artists seeking a vehicle for expression. You have an excellent photostream and I shall visit it again sometime soon.
Thanks, Editor, Robert L. Huffstutter

A SHORT ESSAY ABOUT A BLOOM AND THE HAND OF BUDDHA
Excellent composition. Ingenius contrast. Depiction of the temporal and the ages. Distance between bloom and base of stone symbolic of the unknown. Hand defines eternal security and eliminates anxiety. An image that is an experience of a spiritual nature or simply another one of our designed images to pass the time and entertain our visual senses; it is what it is to each individual, much akin to a lifetime.
Should I take it for granted and assume it will be here tommorrow for another glance? Should I bother to think about it in a more profound manner or look at it once more and go on to life's next photograph, seeking always the perfect picture that will make me feel that life and death makes sense?

I FIND INSTANT INSPIRATION AND HOPE IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH
FANTASTIC PHOTO............I love shots like this, with the glory of the sky and the reality of the earth, the waving stalks of grasses, legumes or cattails, the Divine light that keeps it growing, keeps the seasons in control and keeps the world on course.
Thanks to the photographer who has permitted me to exhibit this work, a favorite the instant I first saw the light and its beams .

Spooky Gunship
The first time I ever flew was in this "workhorse of the Pacific" from NAS North Island to NAS Alameda in 1960. I was one of three passengers on the MATS FLIGHT and it was most memorable. It was much more serene that the "Spooky" flights you mention but never experienced. Time flys. Great gallery. Editor

1975 BUICK SKYLARK: CARS WE HAVE LOVED
ESSAY ON THE BEAUTY OF BUICKS AND THE TASTE OF BEER
Incidentally, the child sitting on top of this revered classic is our daughter. Note the shadow person in the left corner, ready to dash to her instantaneous rescue if necessary.
This was the year of the model change for GM. We had purchased our first Buick Skylark in 1970, and a second Skylark only eighteen months later. When it caught fire one cold winter evening and was totaled by the insurance company, it was replaced with this new and neatly appointed Skylark with red interior and full power. I recall how much it appeared like a new toy to me.
Because I had been in the previous Skylark when it was totaled, looking at this photo makes me realize how fortunate I was that I did not burn with the auto. The steering wheel had melted, the mileage indicator was charred beyond accountability of the mileage, thus the "new" replacement. For some months thereafter, I had some serious lung problems. I also kept my vow not to leave the engine running when I felt like I needed to sleep in my vehicle for the night after a tad bit too much partying.
This was one of a number of miracles that happened, miracles I account as Divine. By all accounts, using that television program as a line, "I should have been dead by now." If but by the grace of God. There were five other seperate incidents that were equally, if not more, eerie, where my life had been in serious danger and I was whisked out of danger if by an Angel or the hand of the Divine.
Sometime I will write about those times, but then I had most likely leave them sealed in the vat of memory. Let me simply say that in all case but one, there had been alcohol involved. I have said it many times before, " If I had my life to lead over, I would never have taken my first drink of beer one summer evening back in the 1940s while my Aunt Marietta was visiting and sat her can of beer down behind her lawn chair where I was playing cars. That's right, I will blame it on her, typical alcoholic rationale. No, not really. It was a child's curiosity to taste what the adults were drinking in those so attractive and shiny cans that seemed to make them laugh and be so merry.

United States Navy
EXCELLENT. A SHORT AND ACCURATE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY. This would be great if it was included in the text books our nation's students are reading in public schools. Unfortunately, many of the texts published now donate a paragraph to John Paul Jones, mentioning his somewhat notorious character without any further explanations. And then, of course, there are references to whoever stated that "We have not yet begun to fight..." Editor

THANKS TO NEW MEXICO FOR POSTING THIS MID-CENTURY CLASSIC. One of my favorite classics from MID-CENTURY classics. Your image here has inspired me to begin a new group.
I am in the process of getting newmexico51's permission to use this image as the icon for the new group. It is still on the drawing board, but it will become a reality. Like we need yet another group on and about cars? Yes, wait until you see what I have in mind. This will be so cool it will pull in submission from throughout the world. I am excited. Here's a heads up to all who recall the era when PINK and BLACK were "the" colors to wear to be in the "in" group. Stay anxious, my friends and watch for the announcement. Champagne will be served. Will you be present for the christening and commissioning ceremonies?
