Sure! I'll only extract royalties from non-hams, or at least ones with deep pockets... :mrgreen:

Thank you. If you would see me at a hamfest you'd know my pockets are pretty shallow, like me:dunno:Quote:

Going back in maybe a month, definitely requires a night trip...and there's just more I didn't get to shoot.
Rocky Mount is close to Edenton where I live. We have a similar building style, but no development. That one picture looking up the building with the bird, the plane and the rope is cool. There is some sort of symbolism there.
Not many brick buildings out this way. They tend to fall down during earthquakes.
Oddly enough, I never saw the plane in the viewfinder :-pQuote:

There was an excellent microbrewery in a neighboring house - 4 taps, could literally see the fermenters in back. No food, just a porch, few tables, and excellent beer.
