Lumsden, Saskatchewan with Hidden Valley beyond the hill...
Three Santa Fe GE C40-8Ws sprint west with a stack train as it approaches a rural farm crossing west of Leeds, Illinois, on a hot and humid August 26, 1995.
Whitby Abbey was a Benedictine monastery that was destroyed by Henry VIII in 1540 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It features in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel 'Dracula' - the eponymous character leaps ashore from the grounded ship Demeter in the form of a large dog and climbs the 199 steps to the ruined Abbey.
Here it is, in all its glory - my all time favourite car, an abandoned 1939 Pontiac. According to my friend Maurice, it has rested in this field since the 1960s. He was coy when I asked if just maybe he was responsible for some of those old bullet holes.
In recent months it has been undermined by digging mammals. Foxes come to mind, based on the size and shape of the excavation, although I haven't seen any signs of recent activity.
Yesterday's upload, the Picasso-like face, is clearly visible on the front fender. More to come...

This old truck has served its later years as a target for bored local residents.About 50 feet to the left of the truck,there was a pile of 12 gauge shells.From the size of the pile,they AREN'T very good marksman...well it is a 12 gauge after all...
Happy truck/target practice Thursday everyone!
My father-in-law Enrico (afterwards known as Henri or Rico) belonged to the Ender-Rezzonico family of Castagnola in Ticino, now incorporated into Lugano. I have some of the ancient family papers and among them is this card that was awarded to one Elvezio, perhaps Enrico's brother, with an "honorable mention" for target shooting when he was a recruit in the Swiss army.
I have no idea why this was kept: Rico left Switzerland when he was 19 and thus avoided military service - he worked in a circus in France and later as a racing boat mechanic, and my husband did his 16 months of service in the French army as he had dual nationality.

A funny for tonight. My grandsons grabbed my tomato basket and set up a target for their BB practice. Just thought the coke can was funny. Have a great weekend to all.

One final shot of this beautiful old fixer upper. That front fender itself is a work of art; I have shot hundreds of photos of it.
The fisheye lens provides a lot of distortion, of course, but take my word for it that the old beast is leaning perilously to the right. I used to get the tripod and macro lens in close on that side, but these days it feels unsafe. I know the steel is thick, the car is heavy, and it will probably continue to lean, but I don't want to be under it if it releases and suddenly topples.
Back to critters, landscapes, and macro beginning tomorrow!
Photographed in a place where nothing happens - where most folks can't imagine living, but trust me, life far from traffic jams and shopping malls has its charms - ie. rural Saskatchewan (Canada).

On New Year's Eve we went down to the family hunting cabin to do some target practice with friends. Mr Chiots wants to do this every month so he's ready for deer season this year. He's hoping to have 3 deer in the freezer after 2010 hunting season.
I debated posting this image, as I didn't wanna stir up any anti-Iran, nor anti-American sentiment, but it was so over the top silly, and '80s, I gave in and posted it. No offense meant.
Sitting along side Pat's camper, this "Ayatollah Khomeini" target cracked me up, since it was so 1981.
(What cracked me up more was when I realized Ronald Reagan was also in attendance at camp)...
A little change of pace from my regular photography style. Daughter and I got out and had a little fun with the .22.
This is the first hole on a disc golf course. And it appears the sign is also a target practice for kids with a pellet gun. Oh-kay...
Project 365-040
Doing a little target practice in preparation to take my Concealed Weapons test next week. Look out world...I'll soon be a pistol packing Momma!!! LOL
I did not want to use weapons, instead I chose a bluebird as my target seeker. After I added Saturn, I noticed how nicely the rings of the planet echo the rings of the target.
This lighthouse was used as target practice by the Australian Navy, because it caused a lot of shipwrecks on the South Coast of NSW.

In which contestants try to shoot out the star in the center of a target in order to win a stuffed animal.
This late WW2 era A34 Comet tank has resided on Theddlethorpe/Saltfleetby sands, Lincolnshire for some 60-years. Thought to have been driven to this position by the MOD, the tank was used for munitions target practice by RAF aircraft and eventually destroyed. What remains has been savaged by the sea and salt air.
Known as the 'Tank on the beach', it is a popular tourist attraction, although it's quite a hike to get to it and not that easy to find.
If you are going to visit, park up at the Rimac Nature Reserve car park, that's as close as you will get by car, then get your walking boots on.
PS. Also see Simon's comments below, as he offers another route to it.
