Macro Monday

Any idea on the subject of the above macro shot?

How about now?

Surely, you're getting close with this one?

It is a collectible wooden Chris Craft boat. More specifically, a 1938 19-foot Barrel Back w/ a Chris Craft 185 hp engine. It was at the Leland Heritage Days Festival - Collectible Car and Boat show this past weekend. Very fun, very cool cars and boats! A nice way to wind down summer.

Car Show

Another post on the car show in Northport. This was from the post on Memorial Day. Very fun!

Macro "Memorial Day" Monday

OK, I know this is an unfair Macro Monday. Hopefully, it will make more sense as you read through this post. Regardless, any guess to what this belongs?

This should help.

Surely, you know now?

An antique Fire Truck.

Just missing a Dalmation, I guess.

We went to a collector car show in Northport on Saturday. It was the 15^th Annual Cars in the Park. (You can also get a little more info here.) We'll post more shots later, but we enjoyed this truck immensely. 


Fire fighters, wherever they may exist and be they defined by profession or desperation, risk much for their lives and those of others. It is within this context that this post is tangentially appropriate for 5/28/2012. 


In the United States, we celebrate what we call Memorial Day on the last Monday of every May. It is a day of remembrance for those that have died in the armed forces in service to our nation. I will not pretend to import more depth to this ceremony than what occurs across our country already today.


My only comment is for those who have righteously fought, to express my personal indebtedness to them not just in our nation, but across the world. No society is alone in the sacrifices of war. 


With deepest respect,
Andy
