Vietnam Vets remember Hanoi

Our newest member has requested to share a few poignant and somewhat harsh photos in rememberance of what many veterans experienced while serving on our behalf in Vietnam in the 60's.
  Sometimes revisiting ones past can assist in healing or at least acceptance of what we as humans go through during our lives and especially in horribly traumatic situations such as war! 
  This is to honor those who have served in any war past, present and future to protect our lives and our country and also for many other's not so fortunate in other countries around the world.
  Vet's if you have photos to share that are not graphic but still gives you a moment to contemplate your experiences or if you found some little pleasure or sign of beauty even among the waste, please consider sharing with all of us as we try to understand and to honor you!
  November is a month to give thanks and what better way to honor our veterans!

Please feel free to leave comments here or on the photographer's own tab/page that you will find at the top of this page. If you are a vet and this photographer's pictures mean something to you consider sharing with him/us.  You can comment anonymously if you prefer.

Until next week which is the beginning of December, be thankful for what you have.

Yet another new Photographer joins our midst

First, I would like to apologize for missing last weeks post.  My computer had a glitch or two and is still hobbling along but will need to be cleaned up soon.  In the meantime You will want to be introduced to our newest member as he has been around the world here and there, including Vietnam and South America, and has several photos from throughout his travels that he will be sharing over time.
  He uses a one step Panasonic Lumix camera and takes it everywhere.  Here are a few  chosen introductory shots from closer to home.

I am sure we have many more travelled military and veterans out there that have some interesting photos they would like to share.  I hope this month  will allow us opportunities to thank those who have given so much to protect us and other's around the world.

Keep the photo's coming y'all.

Boats Planes and Waterways

Northern Waterways

What could possible follow trains for all boys and men?  How about boats and planes.  Mountain Man took a few interesting shots of both in his northern trek to Canada and Alaska.

   Smell the briny breeze at this boating dock and fishing town on the water's edge.
