This 1951 Willys 4x4 Pickup was a standout for an obvious reason. It was Vitamin C on a sunny day. This vehicle along with over 1300 others appeared at the 2021 Ol' Marais River Run Car Show held in Ottawa Kansas.
Willys Trucks are perhaps not nearly as well known as the ubiquitous and familiar "Jeep" (CJ Universal) or Station Wagon. Nevertheless, Willys did produce a number of different truck models, including the Pickup, Stake Bed, and Cab & Chassis models.
Similar to the Willys Jeep Wagon, and equipped with the same 134 cu in "Go-Devil" engine and 3-speed Borg-Warner T-90 manual transmission as the CJ-2A, the Willys Pickup Truck was introduced in 1947, available in both 2T and 4T models. The 4x4 "Jeep Truck" model had the same 118-inch wheelbase as the 4x2 pickup, and an identical pickup bed which was 79" (w) x 15.75" (h). The 4WD model was rated at 5,300 gvw, with a 1 ton payload. The three-speed transmission and two speed transfer gave six forward speeds, two in reverse, and could be ordered with a PTO."
"In 1949, the "Jeep Truck" emblem was replaced by an emblem reading only "4-wheel drive" and a single bench unit replaced the 1/3-2/3 seat, which now tilted forward for access to undersea storage."
In 1950, the truck became the "473" with the "Hurricane" 4-cyl engine as an option. Like the Station Wagon, the 473 model included a modification to the grille, which now formed a "V" shape in the center, and included the addition of 5 horizontal bars. When this happened, the radiator attachment was changed from the chassis to the nosepiece. Another change in 1950 saw the discontinuation of the two-wheel drive model. In the following year (1951), the 2WD 1-ton and 1/2-ton trucks were also discontinued, leaving only the 4WD models.
"In 1951, a few new body styles were added to the options list including the stake bed, a Flat Face Cowl model (FFC), and a cab and chassis option (no rear body). These options were available until 1964. Aside from this, and the changes for the new starter (bell-housing and flywheel), the 1951 trucks remained very similar to the 1950 and 1952 models."
In 1953, the 473 became the "475" and the number of horizontal grille bars dropped from five to three. The 475 did not last considerably long, and was available only until the introduction of the 6-226 model in the following year. The 6-226 model, with a 226 cu in 6-cylinder "Super Hurricane" engine, continued in production through 1962, when it was replaced by the 6-230 Tornado OHC engine. One more change was notable in 1954, which was the addition of a large window in the back which essentially covered the cab of the truck.
"1955-1958 saw very little changes, with a few modifications to the center grille bar location, and conversion to 12-volt electrics, until 1959, when a chrome strip was added, running from the edge of the hood to the trailer edge of the door. While this new strip adopted a style similar to that of the station wagon in the years following, this look remained somewhat unchanged through the rest of production, which ended in 1964."

Grassy Knoll, part three - from Hikes of 2024.
This was a short but lovely hike, and every single one of these photos was made within 100 yards of the trailhead. The flowers in that stretch were tiny and beautiful and the sun was dreamily peeking in on the blooms from the adjacent trees.

West Point has a long tradition in turning out outstanding contributors to the American tradition. There are so many more but this tribute on the grounds of West Point Visitor’s Center honors a few examples.

Labor Day weekend.
A lone man walks casually along the passageway at the Westfield World Trade Centre Shopping Mall in Lower Manhatten, New York. It was a fabulous opportunity to compose and wait for the right moment to get the shot, it was getting late and the mall was quiet allowing me to capture the incredible detail of the corridor, vast in appearence but isolative with the presence of the lone stranger.
Sagrada FamÃlia again, and this time it's great doors, which serve as the main entrance, are printed with words from the Bible in various languages including Catalan; the word JESUS and select others are painted to stand out.
When the sun starts to set the embossed lettering casts shadows and catches light to create vivid contrasts.
This sunflower stands out from the rest of the field thanks to the backlight from the sunset and my Lensbaby!
This tree just glowed in the sunlight. This is how it looked to me from fifty yards away. But the SOOC image was dull and lacked contrast and interest. Lightroom to the rescue! HSS!
These are not standout photos of mine. They were taken many years ago, probably about 2003 to document the fact that I hand-raised a little dove that we called Duck. My grand daughter Tamika named him that and I have often wondered if that caused any identity problems for him lol.
I kept him for a very long time and one day quite by accident he got out of his cage and flew away. He never looked back .... the ungrateful thing.
Actually he never really left. He stayed close by and came to feed at my frontyard feeder with the rest of the birds that come daily. Eventually he found a mate and brought her along too and then one day he turned up with his partner and 2 baby doves. I was so HAPPY. I'm sure duck has passed on now but I still have his descendants come very day to eat at our feeder which is a constant reminder of a gorgeous little pet.
Discover a standout piece of San Francisco’s architectural landscape at Sunset Co-op Nursery School. This modern building, with its vibrant yellow exterior and expansive glass windows, exemplifies the city’s blend of contemporary design and historic charm. Situated at a bustling street corner, the school’s bold color and sleek lines create a striking contrast against the traditional residential backdrop. This structure not only serves as an educational institution but also as a symbol of the community’s forward-thinking spirit. Its flat roofline and clean angles offer a refreshing departure from the classic Victorian and Edwardian styles that dominate the area. Perfectly capturing the eclectic essence of San Francisco, this building is a must-see for architecture enthusiasts and locals alike.
Isn't it boring when the weather at the beach is a bit ordinary.
Add to that the high contrast when taking a shot inside a black tunnel to a background sky.
See below for close to the SOOC original.
To provide some light at the end of the tunnel, just add some enhancements to create some interest. It doesn't matter if it isn't real, after all, photography is art, and so it is the eye of the beholder. It only has to be real on TV news, and you can't trust that either.
Using the circular (not square) Marquee tool in Photoshop, drag an oval/circle around the end of the tunnel. Press [CTL '] to place some grid lines on the screen if it helps guide you to the correct end position of the oval edges.
Select Layer-Copy to New Layer and the circle gets put on its own layer above the background image so whateer you do on this layer will cover the original.
Now that the beach and sky is selected use whatever enhancement effects you like and it will only affect the selected oval. So here I enriched the colour and contrast.
I found that the circle didn't quite cover the edges of the original circle, so press [CTL T] for Transform and just drag it a bit bigger until it sits neatly on the edge of the original circle.
I go a bit carried away, and pasted a B52 bomber from Guam to drag my signature across the sky, but that is definitely optional.
Have fun.
Knit one, PEARL one.

I'm having trouble getting her name, but it is said that she returned the prize money to the Sisters thereby providing eternal holiness."
ps: "J" is used in the title because apparently ADDA has been reported several times over posting HUNKY JESUS CONTEST photos...some people do not have a sense of humor. the photos are marked correctly : SAFE !
