Mine, but from a few years ago. Just a little pic that Bob Ross would have been proud of. A little wave here, a happy sun ray there, an inquisitive palm tree, and a centered cloud keeping a watchful eye on everything.

My neighbor with a '53 Pre-A followed me in my '56 to the shop to see my '55.
|
Is this a new picture? If so, what’s the next challenge? |
It is, indeed! I had to give this some thought so not to repeat a challenge.
YVWNT bleachers or bleachers in the background. Example: ball park, local park, high school, etc. Bonus points if there's a game!

Hmm... there are still bleachers around but they are all empty by COVID regulation here. No games either...

Just throwing it out there... maybe a challenge appropriate for today (4/20)?
On second thought, that gives the Split Buses too much of an advantage...

The tourist attractions have not gone away, like the bleachers they will just be deserted. This should be an easy one. I will be out and about tomorrow for a 5 hour trip so if you are tired of seeing a black Jetta, get up off the couch!
Don't say I didn't warn you...
YVWNT a local tourist attraction

The black rust bucket Jetta once again next to a sign on the highway at Halkirk Alberta advertising the museum dedicated to the Underwood flying machine. The museum building is in the background with a picture of the flying machine painted on the end. That open sided shed next to it houses a replica of the flying machine. It was built and flown both as a kite and a glider before the Wright brothers made thier famous flight at Kittyhawk but these fellows ran out of funds to put an engine on it.
And no, there was no one there in the offseason.
