With wood and metal fences to either side, this, I believe, is the very mud puddle in which =AZVHIOwSc1BzXWRovvlMT9__kMpy9_omL5bspod84eE-Uk1F5VYQV9aVDlsnQPQn0i3QI5GVRQyWAyZaX41s4pZrqEEpJtRZ5AiSFNOSxMvsxwb3QVhqsBkfdTV7FSTfdtM&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R']my first Jeep sank, two months ago. Those may be my...

Did you know that in astronomy, the word “metal” can be used to refer to any matter that is not hydrogen or helium? So, in this picture, the only thing visible that is not metal, by that definition, is the Sun. Of course, even by the more usual definition, the Jeep that appears in this picture...

I took my Jeep out, today, to very close to the same place where =AZVsKxcO7yeJlWh8kv4_gHqx-hhcfMFVnL22XPtMYGnX8eJb-0h3jBhSAItMPhsOn48aqw447Y5fz3hDU49KkOlFakS5WiEj5lxWDZj0QrVvvxJWKVNhLlLkJrqt1wfqrtI&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R']its predecessor sank a few months ago. I got some excellent pictures, and am...

I recently replaced all the light bulbs in my house with bulbs having a 5000K color temperature. I've always hated the dingy yellowish color of most indoor lighting, even when I am not taking pictures in it. But when taking pictures, it distorts the colors in a manner that I do not seem to be...

Buddy wishes everyone an orange new year.

This is what a Jeep is for—to go places that people with normal cars cannot go; even if the only reason to go there is that you can, and others cannot. 37°51'23.3"N 120°28'14.8"W Red Hills Road/Serpentine loop

The song didn't get it right… To dream the impossible dream… To pass, the impassable road… To bear, with unbearable sorrow… To run, where the Dart* dares not go. — * My other car is a 2016 Dodge Dart, the least off-road capable car I have ever owned, the most exact possible opposite to this...

Buddy (the ginger cat) and Allie (the Siamese), in a rare moment of being in close proximity to one another, without any fighting or other drama.

This is what a Jeep is for—to go places that you cannot go in a normal car, even if the only reason to go there is that you can, and people with normal cars cannot. 39°15'00.2"N 120°34'49.5"W Somewhere along the Texas Hills Road trail. I'm sixty-two years old (my one-minute birthday was a...

Misty* and Mirrors * That's her name. She's a domesticated pet dove. Attached .txt file contains EXIF data. Lens data are invalid, because it's an ancient non-CPU lens, a 1972 NIKKOR-S 50mm ƒ/1.4 lens, wide open, with a heart-shaped cutout on the front that effectively reduced the...

OK, so here's a first entry, not really expected. My Jeep seems to be possessed by a powerful supernatural spirit of wanderlust. It frequently demands—and I dare not refuse it—that I take it out for long drives, preferably to places that normal cars cannot go, or at least places I've never...

NOT AN ENTRY! About four months ago, I got a new toy, a 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. This is a car that is made to go places that normal cars cannot go. Of all the “This is what a Jeep is for.” pictures that I have so far taken, this is the one that I would most have liked to submit...

It apparently has to do with the size of the image. These were both very large images, and I reduced the JPG quality to get the file size under 2 megabytes, which appears to be a limit that this forum imposes. The forum accepted the files, but does not display them, except as links to...
