Could be a good opportunity for some other classic pictures, VFR holding up Leaning Tower of Pizza comes to mind.

Rarely, but this is not my 4th gen/picture :-)

05:51 time to get on my bicycle!

Yeah it was -despite it being a friendly match- pathetic to get our arses wupped by a soccer team from the USA.....

The USA are able to become good at any sport they invest money in. They are even becoming pretty good at hockey... I feel your pain Dutchy!!

Great pic Dutch. Out of curiosity, do you have any photos of your bike starting up a windmill? LOL.

Always love your photos. The roads, the countryside, everything, is just so amazing. BC has some great roads and fantastic scenery of its own but I can count on one hand, maybe both, the number of historic and rustic looking windmills I've seen in my travels. Never mind 3 in one photo.

I think I counted 4 windmills, maybe a 5th even farther away?

Here are six of them :biggrin:
