You certainly don't see something like that every day. Does that ring thing ascend/descent and/or rotate?

It goes up and down and rotates Jon ......

I'd love to ride up on that thing. Wonder how many flat-earthers have changed their minds up there?

An old sequoia in Sequoia National Park in northern California. My lady friend and I went up there this past weekend. This tree's name is General Sherman and it's thought to be the largest single-stem tree on Earth (by volume) and around 2,300 to 2,700 years old. It's 279ft tall.

A photo from a work job today. Royal Court Theatre, Wigan.
A Victorian theatre, which once hosted a performance by a young Charlie Chaplin.
Wigan's Royal Court Theatre closed in 1974 and was subsequently used as a bingo hall, nightclub and bar.
The Grade II listed building has been purchased by The Old Courts, who intend to convert into a creative hub.

@Oy. Please post more photos as the work progresses.

Do any of you ladies here have a theory on such behavior?

I don’t know why that lady was there but her shoes weren’t designed for exploring.

Not taken by me - my toy photographer friend sent me another one; The Punisher.

Grout: Something I encountered in the attic of an old carriage house, where I took the picture below.

What you see in that attic room is a 1904 Grout steam automobile. I suspect very few people know or have ever heard of a Grout, which was manufactured by 3 Grout brothers in Orange, MA, from 1900 to 1912. They built both gas and steam autos.

I was amazed when I saw this at the Hoboken, N.J. waterfront park (on the Hudson). I had never seen a boat spraying water before. This is a screen shot I took from the paused video because SF wouldn't let me upload the video.

I've seen pink cars and plenty of limos but never saw anything like this before.

There's A Submarine In The Yard! Certainly not your everyday sight, it looks like a sub has surfaced in the yard.

That would be the USS Albacore, which can be seen at coordinates 43.082251, -70.766951. The Albacore was a research submarine testing new hull hydrodynamics. It also had unusual and troublesome diesel engines - two stacked radial diesels, made by GM, rather than the usual, inline diesel engines typical of the period (before atomic power).

Did it have Mary Kay written on the side of it?

Mary Kay cosmetics....she buys her top sellers pink caddies.

Actually I looked to see. If it did, I didn't see it. Most of the pink cars I've seen over the decades were Mary Kay caddies.

Not Your Usual Trolley: Below is a picture of the 4th of only four ever made - a 1924 Montreal Tramway open-air trolley.

Of the four units, two are in the Canadian Train Museum in Delson Quebec, one is at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, ME and the 4th is in possession of the CT Trolley Museum in East Windsor, CT.

Walking under the CN tower on a foggy evening

I had to look it up...I've never heard of it before.
You're able to go indoors and eat there. Lots of glass.

Impressive.

It also has a glass floor area at the top.

This may be one of the more unusual homes you will drive by.

As often happens, seeing this place turned on my "Who, what, why, when, how?" switch and prompted some investigation. What I found was that a painting business was listed at this address run by a man with ties to a disbanded hippy commune that had reunion festivals here. Interesting, indeed.

Wow... looks like something out of a Grimm's fairytale. I love it!
