If you hadn't mentioned what it was, there would be a universe of possibilities, from really bad skin cancer to a lunch gone bad to one heck of a kitchen counter...

Sunset 9/23/23 over Lake Quinault, Olympic Peninsula, WA. Shot from the beach in front of the Lake Quinault Lodge on the south shore.

And from the lawn just up from the beach.

Nice pics

That lake is due west from the Hoods Canal town of Lilliwaup, which in 1972 when I last lived there had a population under 60 people, almost all of them retired folks. To say nothing much ever happened there would be an understatement.

Awesome fishery though. We often had fresh fire roasted oysters on the beach for dinner - just pick 'em up, stick them near the coals, and wait for them to open. Yum! Bet that doesn't happen much anymore...

Cheers!

Who remembers these?? They still sell them at Target. I am sure they are flying off the shelves now that portable CD players are affordable

Needs a USBC adapter. Or bluetooth. Or both. Because courageous phone companies.

 

[day_trippr]

fwiw, I have a pair of Bluetooth cassette audio widgets, one for my ancient '00 Audi with its primitive teutonic head unit, and the other for my '96 bow rider boat with it's even more primitive audio system. I can play any of 30 gigs of tunes on my phone or pull from SiriusXM while pretty much anywhere.

Transformative, really, and for small money...

Cheers!

Don’t know what this is between Watou and Westvleteren but thought it was interesting.

You photobombed your own pic...

Looks like someone stole the rest of the building. Or maybe someone just started something that never got finished.

Yeah, we were on bikes and trying to snap quick pics cuz we were running short on time. Thought about cropping but decided to hell with it.

The speculation reminds me of riding into Rome from the airport (with a bunch of coworkers, and none of us had been there before, and everyone looking in all directions.)
"What's that over there?"
"I don't know, but it looks old. Take a picture of it."

 

[day_trippr]

Lol! One could end up with a neck injury touring Rome like that

Cheers!

Autumn is here...

 

[GrogNerd]

people hanging on to their older cars, lacking BT tech, for longer. sign o' these economic times.

my latest phone (Samsung S23 Ultra) doesn't have a headphone jack, so the adapters are useless.

my car also doesn't have a cassette player, so double useless

still neato tech & this channel is a worthy subscription

They have them in 8 track as well.

 

[GrogNerd]

I could have totally used that with the AM/8-track player in my '75 Buick Skylark hatchback!

I still use one in my '97 Sierra.

The end of summer here (44F last night)

 

[balrog]

Well, now that I had to find out yet another obscure (but funny) thing I did not know about (thanks a lot, @TxBrew ) I think I can now predict a new spike:

 

[pvpeacock]

Wow, I won $$$$$ the first time I tried it! Thanks for the link to Zombo.com I wish I had known about it sooner.

That's are really nice photo. We are enjoying the autumn weather here too. 94F and low humidity feels rather pleasant after the record breaking summer.

We've only had freezing temps a couple of mornings but the aspen are turning here in the South San Juan mts.... we are at 9,500'.

 

[CKuhns]

From the Lake, not too many nights like this left in the year. But enjoying them while they last.

I heard this exact statement a hundred times over the 10 days my sister and her husband traveled around France with us, every time Bill saw a stone wall, shed, barn, house, castle, regardless of it's size or condition.

I remember the quaking aspen in the summer and golden aspen in the fall.
