It was our anniversery yesterday so we went for a drive up a back road along the river and stopped at a town 40 odd minutes away. I had driven through this town every week on the way to work and home again and never stopped but at the long rest area on the outskirts of town there was a small mobile fast food business set up. With the jab pass required for all cafe's etc. which we are unable to access, this was the perfect solution. No masks and no BS, just plain old fashioned good food and great service from the young couple so we ordered a very nice fish (blue cod) light meal and drove down the park to the towns art monument to its history. Had a flask so made us a coffee and enjoyed our meal and the ambiance of the area. The monument was made from multiple sheets of 3/16 steel with some stunning art touches added to show how the town began and what the local area produces. The little houses bridges etc had stainless weld to make the "stonework" show. It was about 20 ft by 8ft so a good sized art piece.

Show us the art or other monuments in your own areas or areas you have seen on your travels.

Then on the way home I got these shots of the new bridge they have just started to build to replace to very old one way bridge that has been talked about for very many years. they have just started to do the pile work on the far side of the river.

Von Gruff, it sounds like you and the bride had a nice little get away. That monument was creative to say the least. Happy belated Anniversary.
 
Yes, very nice little jaunt on your anniversary. In our busy lives, we often forget there are simple treasures “for the soul” hidden in plain sight. You found one today.

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
