Cool positioning of the full moon and the aircraft.
Full moon here tonight as well. Will check back and post some photos of it as seen from my place that I just took.
OK, here are the promised Moon Shots. The first two were just taken with an iPhone while the final two were taken with my SLR, albeit later in the evening. (Had I had the SLR earlier the details of the moon's surface would likely have even been evident.)
For comparison, I Just came across this Moon Shot photo I had taken previously in a prior year with my SLR at an earlier point in the evening. The moon is even positioned above the same mountain range although as viewed from the lake located a block north of where I took the recent photos from my house.

I wasn't paying attention...listening to some groovy tunes like usual...happened to be driving through Golden, CO and distracted by hang gliders...All true.
forgot what was about to happen, looked down and saw this somewhat anticlimactic number lol!
I was kind of hoping some more engine lights would come on, like as a little celebration or something
It's a 2000 Lexus ES300 if you're wondering.

Well...had the phone out doing no look photos (a special skill of mine)...cropped that one of the odometer. Got a couple pics of hang gliders landing next to me too...and had some time to get the gas since I was going down hill lol!
Actually the tank is pretty big in this car, 18.5 gallons.
No one mentioned how impressive it is to have the parking brake on at 50mph!

Over the years I have picked up a few treasure coins, but the first was from The Atocha when Treasure Hunter Mel Fisher's son Kim travelled to where I live.
As recorded in the faded Polaroid photo, the experience of that day was shared with two of my children which has made for a memorable memory.
I can deduce from this picture you went in early to eat, when there where few people. In n' Outs that I frequent usually only burn the edges of the bun when the cook is anticipating crowds, and the buns sit longer creating the burnt edges. Because of the long car lines caused by Covid, buns rarely get burnt; they've got too many cars stacked up waiting to get their orders. The car lines at my In n' Out are usually at least a half hour wait at dinner. And that's with two people taking orders in the car lineup.
I can also deduce you have a very strong stomach. Those peppers would put me in the hospital with my GERD.
It almost looks like that plane in the foreground is going backwards. There must be a name for that effect as it seems similar to what one sees peering out of a train window when positioned next to another train and it appears you are moving when still at a standstill.
In line at The Wonder Woman Ride, Six Flags, San Antonio. 2 hour wait for a 45 second ride, the line was delayed a bit because of technical difficulties. The horror only began after the terrifying ride was over and the technical difficulty came back.
So, the control panel the teenager was running was acting up. The ride was over, the cars stopped and now the locking bars are supposed to release so you can get out. Well, they only released about 6 inches which is enough to get thrown out with the centrifugal G forces but not enough to climb out on your own. Then the cars started slowly going towards the start line again which is only 20' or so. Meanwhile, everyone is freaking out and the spotter and the teenager could not hear each others commands while we were slowly headed to the start line again.
I do not recommend this ride

Amazing stuff, I love the Mel Fisher story! Have been in hes museum in 2017
A deep-sea fish usually found at depths of 3,000 feet below the surface was found washed up on a California beach on Friday. Deep-sea anglerfish have very large mouths and long, pointy teeth in order to facilitate capturing and swallowing prey. They also have a lure that they use to attract prey by making their own light in the darkness.

Photo Riddle for the Week:
What country can you only drive to by crossing an airfield?
Hint 1: The roadway to the top of this country:
Hint 2: The view looking upward as one approaches the top:
Hint 3: My photo taken at the top of this country:
Hint 4: My view looking downward from atop this country with the airfield runway that had to be crossed to enter it visible below:
Answer: The country should be evident from this final photo:
Pictured: My rented vehicle on the aircraft runway that one must cross to enter into this country:
Wow, 300,000! Now that merits a give away!

OK, actually located a name for the effect - Relative Motion.
Used the lens on the left to take the following image (distance about 80' and a razor thin focus area)
@Raybo
Is your lens on the left with which you took the impressive photo a catadioptric or mirror lens? I have always wanted to try one of those in a 500mm.

This morning, yesterday I saw a Bear about 100' away. 18 months ago a Mountain Lion confronted me. Lots of Deer, Foxes and Coyotes.

In view of where gold has headed this weekend, maybe that One Way sign arrow should have been tipped 45 degrees upward.
