I've always loved taking pictures, framing a moment or place. I never leave home without a camera. Google/Panoramio's evaluators application of the terms of service lack any discernible consistency or intelligence. They are apparently wholly ignorant of the natural world. Whimsy, irony, or humor escape them. Illustrating the world has devolved into "please, landscape perspectives or 'only our street views." Despite Google/Pano's stunted, crippled aesthetic, the reality of nature includes the tools and hands of man have worn deeply on this planet and are often its most significant features, not unavoidable clutter. And, yes, it's very much about context, place, and perspective.

The good old days of the sixties and early seventies of Webb City

When we were there, the pedestrian gate to the right was unlocked. Check with the FTA main office. The chapter has been rerouting parts of the trail for the last five years.

I still have some stickers in a box somewhere.

I've seen the other pics. I am the CO now. Feel free to come for a tour next time your down there.

Interesting,

Panoramio reviewers, unable to distinguish between using a chain saw bar for scale and a picture promoting a chainsaw. Obviously, they have never been near a chainsaw. Anyone who has seen a chainsaw bar would know the brand name is on the other side of the bar.

It is the exact gallery I need to show everyone my new community!

Actually, they're quite timid. Their real danger is being North America's only neurotoxin viper, and the lack of any current anti-venom stocks.

This was a walk-up as he was sunning himself on a hiking trail. He's a really large example, nearly three feet.

It was the second time in a year to happen upon a really large viper. Some months back, in the same preserve, there was a six to seven foot diamondback sunning himself in the middle of a road.

Those pix weren't posted as they are really dark and muddy. The camera was set-up for some sunny, open field work. In the excitement I forgot to check my metering.

Enjoy your photos. Thanks for posting :)

Thanks, it's a great backyard. As an exploited, recovering forest, the divergent [less comfortably normal] perspectives are remarkable. Perhaps, this is a moment to re-review some prior, disregarded images.
