Picture-A-Week 2023 - Week 28

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, July 10 and Sunday, July 16.

 

Downslope. The slide towards 2024 has started. Take some photos as the days whisk by and share them!

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

This is one of several independence day rehearsals in my country of Singapore.

Since July is independence day in the US, I thought of posting some of my own.

Sunday afternoon found Kim, Son Dan and myself taking the light rail from our hotel to downtown Seattle and wandering around Pike Place Market. We were mostly sightseeing since anything we bought would have to be hauled aboard the ship when the family left for Alaska the next day. Instead, we ended up having a long, late lunch at Lowell's Restaurant. We had a great view of Puget Sound and an excellent waiter. Dan and I ordered the blackened cod tacos and Kim had to have the Dungeness crab melt sandwich. We all settled on Lowell’s signature Bloody Mary cocktails, which lived uo to the waiter’s recommendation, as did the food. The lunch cost more than expected by a factor of Holy Crap, but we were on vacation and by golly we deserved it! 

 

Bloody Delicious

A kittle late. I attended the 30th anniversary of the Festival of Speed at Goodwood West Sussex on 13th July. An iconic  hill climb sees road and race cars and bikes, old and new, careering up Goodwood Hill

The 1,890 metres (1.17 mi), 9-turn track climbs 92.7 metres (304 ft), an average gradient of 4.9%. Its record time was set in 2022 by Max Chilton in an electric McMurtry Spéirling at 39.081 seconds.

The No 3 is the Duke of Richmond driving a Le Mans Jaguar 1956 D-type, which was the car he drove on the first Festival of Speed 30years ago
