As soon as I looked at your picture, I immediately thought, "That looks like my everyday trail ride." Then it turns out to be a ride in Wisconsin.

I've changed mine three times since I first posted on this thread. Here's my new one, from today's 56 mile ride. As you can tell I ride with a bunch of 50+ guys, 60+ actually.

Here's mine. It's a picture I took at the National Archieves during a vacation to Washington DC in 2006. I photoshoped it and made it into a background for my Mac 30" cinema display ... 2560 X 1600.

Hey, you stole my front yard....
I ride by this several times a week on my "local loop" (well, maybe not this time of the year..)

I cheated. That shot was taken in the Ft Worth Zoo. Even at that, I waited quite a while for her to come out from the trees. She was very shy. It was taken with a Nikon D80 and Nikkor 200mm lens. Actually, I kind of pride myself on doing zoo shots that don't look like zoo shots.
That is an absolutely awesome picture! How about telling us how you got it. The Mountain Lion is such a stealthy animal. The lighting and intensity in this cat's eyes is beautiful. It isn't a small cat either.

I like the old Coast Guard colors much better than what they used when they repainted it last year. Here's another look
at the lighthouse from down on the beach.

We ride all the way down to the quarry cove tide pool turn-around. Big chunks of asphalt (about 5-6" thick by 15 to 20 feet square)
at the lowest area got ripped up and tossed around by the big storm at the beginning of December, plus rocks from baseball to
exercise ball size tossed all over that area.
