Excellent shot! He stood out to me too:
A Navy vet in uniform carries an upside down U.S. flag and a sign reading "Impeach Convict Remove." He is walking beside the reflecting pool with the Lincoln Memorial in the background.

"Welcome to Oklahoma"
Accidentally jumped from OH to PA last week, skipping OK and OR. I've been to Oregon, but not on a bike, so no pic. Here's a misty morning in Oklahoma, though.
#SignsonSunday #StateSigns #motorcycle #motorbike #motosky #photography #Oklahoma
A black motorcycle, parked beside a straight rural two-lane road on a misty overcast morning. In the background is a sign reading "Welcome to Oklahoma." This was during a six week, 10,000 mile trip, which helps explain the overloaded bike.

We sent a message to Congress today.

Protestors march towards the Capitol. Prominent are an upside down U.S. flag and a sign reading "Enough is Enough."

Such an ignoble fate for a once beautiful machine! 😢
A BMW 2800CS well on its way to returning to its elemental particles. It's hard to see, but there is a tree growing out of the back seat through the rear window. Behind it is a BMW 2002 in a similar state.

"Welcome to Pennsylvania"
#SignsonSunday #StateSigns #motorcycle #motorbike #motosky #photography #Pennsylvania
A rural road enters the bottom left corner of the frame and runs into the distance, past homes, mailboxes, and a sign reading Welcome to Pennsylvania, Adams County. Just beyond the sign, a gravel road meets the paved road, and a motorcycle waits, parked at the junction.

A view from a mountaintop rock across a broad valley. Pine tree boughs against a sunny blue sky fill the upper part of the shot.

A view of the Grand Canyon at sunset. The image is dominated by a massive cliff face glowing as it's hit by the setting sunlight. On the right a tree enters the frame.

A scrappy pine tree growing from a crack in the rock at Raven's Roost overlook, Shenandoah National Park. Behind the tree is an expansive view of a broad valley under sunny blue skies.

A view from the base of Devil's Tower looking up. A few pine trees are growing up through the boulder field below, then the column of the tower stretches into a clear blue sky.

Autumn crepuscular rays over the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. In the foreground trees are turning orange, in the background the sun through the clouds creates a peach colored haze over several mountain peaks, including the truncated Massanutten on the right.

Love this song (that bass line!), and reminds me I need to get back to the Delaware Gap.

Finally got out for a few days mini-tour on the new bike. The views in Shenandoah National Park are spectacular, and the weather was crisp and sunny. A bit chilly in the tent at night though! 🥶

"Welcome to North Dakota - Be Legendary."
September 2024
#SignsonSunday #StateSigns #motorcycle #motorcycles #motorbike #motosky #photography #NorthDakota
A black motorcycle, loaded for a road trip, parked near a sign reading "Welcome to North Dakota - Be Legendary." The background is a vast field of green and gold with large round hay bales scattered into the distance and a cloudless blue sky above. The tiny scale of the bike and sign in the expansive landscape captures a bit of the sense of insignificance one feels riding through these regions.

Took a ride to Rock Hall, MD today. Perfect weather. You can just make out the Chesapeake Bay bridge on the horizon.

A gray and yellow motorcycle facing to the right is parked next to a narrow community boardwalk and beach, with a large bay in the background. It's a sunny day with a few puffy clouds on the horizon. A bridge is visible far in the distance.

"Welcome to North Carolina"
But for the low quality image, it's hard to believe it's been 15 years since I took this shot.

A black motorcycle parked next to a green North Carolina state welcome sign. The sign includes an image of the NC state flag. There are two other motorcyclists riding through a curve in the road. It's a sunny day, with the trees in Autumn foliage.
