Nice.
Going to see them Thursday...you forgot to mention Bob Franceschini on sax
Probably cause it’s hard to spell .
My sax player is good friends with him or I likely couldn’t spell it either.

He got his due in this post/thread. He is an incredible sax player. And he seemed like a great human too. I made a point to tell him that he was a pleasant surprise for a bass nerd attending a bass nerd show.
Victor Wooten Trio last Friday night in Raleigh.... unexpected and pleasant surprises

Friends, I don’t know what to say...’cept to tell y’all that we visited the Lower Antelope Slot Canyon in Northern Arizona yesterday morning.

I probably have another hundred of these.
I’m not nearly over it yet.

What say we start with some real-live-By-Gawd dinosaur tracks?

Arches National Park, outside Moab, UT...

Helluva day!
Cale...our driver and guide through the back country...did a Great job!
With this much beauty (in its own unique way) coming at you for 5 hrs, non stop, it’s kinda hard to get your head all the way around it.

Was down at the Kootenai County administration bldg the other day to get new plates for our cars, and after some exploring found the Kootenai County Hall of Heroes, and saw this:

Noyce!

Totally! He was born here in Coeur d'Alene, and the local airfield is called Boyington Field.

Edit: and I was down by the field for a private party and saw these:

Those formations are surreal, for lack of a better word. Nice pics!

This looks very much like a place I used to visit down your way, in Bladen Co. Lumberton, Elizabethton, etc. Spanish Moss hanging in Ball Cyress.

My grandmamma always told me "You gotta behave everywhere you go. Wherever you happen to be, somebody's gonna know yer people."

Of course, she's also the brain trust behind my sig quote.

Good advice... Granny won't steer ya' wrong.

I used to camp around nearby Horseshoe Lake... all my pictures from back then are hard copy prints. (taken on 35mm film)

Interesting story/theory. Many call all of those lakes in that area "The Crater Lakes". The theory is that a huge meteor came in from the northwest (Fayatteville area). It broke up when it hit the atmosphere and the larger pieces formed the craters that eventually became those lakes. If you Google map it it seems to make sense.

I haven't really got anything spectacular to add to the thread, but here's a few shots of the Water Plant I'm currently assigned to. Construction began in the late 1930's, but due to delays (WW II) she didn't go on line until 1946.

I love the old architecture... this place, for those of you not old enough to remember "duck and cover" was a nuclear fallout shelter too. It would be insanely expensive to build another structure like this, which is why most modern plants are prefab concrete instead of wood and marble.

The front facade, relatively unchanged for 75 years:

Check out the scrolls at the front door:

Just inside those doors, the main foyer:

The old 1944 Filter House, still in service:

Some of the stonework in the Filter House:

And some of the wood trim around the doors:

Down in the belly of the beast, we call this the Pipe Gallery. It's underneath the Filter House. Like a Super Mario Bros. game.

Original cast iron spiral staircase that leads down to the Pipe Gallery. It's been moved twice since original construction... each time they added onto the building, first in 1954, and again in 1994, somebody thought enough of it to keep it.

Sometimes I think about the dozens of Operators here before me that must have trudged up and down these steps 4 times daily on walkthrough inspections.
