A little unusual look/effect. While the shutter was open I quickly moved the camera ( on tripod ) right or left to get this motion effect. I have some more traditional views of fireworks, but these were a couple of my favorites.

Who would have thought there would be a club called: ‘Magic wheels“, whatever that is? I tried to get a look at their club or compound, but it seems they enjoy their privacy/secrecy. I was able to photograph their logo/sign between the sections of the wire fence. Turns out they are a motorcycle club, which is pretty cool.

This sea-based radar device is in drydock for repairs. This unit is so large it is difficult to get a sense of its size via a photo.

This small trailer has been gutted and turned into a childs playroom. In the NW, where there is no shortage of rainfall and, hence, a great shortage of parental peace and quiet in the home, this seems like a great solution: send the kids to the ‘playroom’ and enjoy a couple of hours of peace and quiet.
