A Quote for the Futurliner #10 restoration website: "This is Futurliner #10. It was one of 12 built by GM for the Parade of Progress show in the 40s and 50s. Restoration, by a dedicated crew of volunteers, began in 1999. A display for the interior has been built by the volunteers but it is still hoped that GM will allow the American Crossroads display (the only original display remaining) to be restored and displayed in the Futurliner." http://www.futurliner.com/photos.htm

10 prego per te tu non bestemmiarmi sono tua madre = 10 pray for you you do not have your mother bestemmiarmi
Any one come up with a better translation then this one from Google?
bestemmiarmi
My Italian is not very good, but it's better than Google's. Bestemmiarmi can mean either blasphemy or swear. So a rough translation is: "I pray for you. Don't swear...I'm your mother."
My shot is from a series of shots I took in Shenksville, Pennsylvania at the memorial at the crash site of United Airlines Flight 93 - the aircraft that was intentionally brought down on Sept 11, 2001.
I was driving to Pittsburgh, PA and I decided to get off the turnpike and try and find this place. No real signs other than a few small markers that would be easy to miss. It was just getting dark when I arrived at the desolate site. It was very quiet and I was all alone - probably no one within a mile or two of the location. A little bit creepy as it got darker.
Many very unusual momentos that people had left. Hard to explain. Family members who were leaving a favorite something of someone who had died in the crash?? I'm not sure. Lots of items left by firefighters and policeman.
I was glad I stopped. I should mention that my daughter is a flight attendant and thus I hold a unique place in my feelings and memories of that day.
I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

Thanks for your reply John. I looked through your photos, you have some some moving images there, and then Googled the Shanksville Memorial to find out a bit more. It gave me pause to think. That was a brave group of people on that plane.

I regret to say I can't remember the details. I shot it a few years ago.
It's a bridge near the New Haven, CT fire academy. I believe the toys were there in memory of a child who had died. I can't remember what had happened. It was an impressive sight.

I was too lazy to took real camera and ended with A95 in my pocket.
As a redemption I used full manual, looks as it works very good.
Probably soon I'll agree with conspiracy theory that expensive cameras and luxury lenses are just a myth,
big marketing and social myth only.

Weird, it looks like black rock. Is it a waterfall and a very high shutter speed?
I think it is black rock... with the water along the right side of the frame.
Exactly, there is a lot of shooters who don't care about any visual quality.

The stuff to the left is the rock, to the right the water.
