You wanted texture?

[nilesrob]

OK, seriously...

The texture of mountains and clouds and aluminum and glass...

Hi StreamlineAK,

Unfortunately rule one does say "Airstream." So, unless the contest judge opens it up, that's the rule. Last month, September's judge said it should be a " 'Stream or a Vintage Cousin." That's you and me, so I was able to enter last month's contest with my Avion... However, I have entered photos that were taken by me of other Airstreams at rallies. So, we are the "cousins" who get invited to some of the parties. The price we pay for not having an AS . Please, don't just stick to the Vintage Kin section, it's obvious you have lots of good stuff to share.

Rule one also says "shiny aluminum"...we have an Airstream, just not an aluminum one. Second consecutive month that specifies aluminum.

Where is the juxtaposition of those contrasting textures our contest host asked for???

Rock, metal, fabric, grass, sand, wood - anything natural or manmade.


Sorry, but a lot of these submissions start to meld into the predictable.

Seven brand new handcrafted segments, made of 2024 Alcald aluminum. Each segment is hand formed and fitted together with over 500 clecos for exact placement before being buck riveted together..... The steps, as this picture catches, is sometimes more amazing then the final result. Notice how shinny brand new 2024 aluminum is before polishing!

Great picture! You're right, all the clecos really look interesting. They give it sort of a bristly look.

Lots to check out in that photo, too. I found it interesting that with that much of the trailer gone, the propane tanks are hooked up. Of course, they've gotta be somewhere.

I also noticed, that's a 48 state flag on the wall. I've considered getting one of those myself. I'm not completely sure I trust those Johnny come lately states.

You can barely notice the mountain behind the airstream! Haha!

Moflash, wow! What textures: water, rock, wood cabin, trees, rock, metal. That's a really neat picture.

[trvler]

Nice photos everyone. Here is a shot of reflections of sky, trees and ocean in Newfoundland. Not sure it fits in this category, as it isn't really a reflection from nice shiny "aluminum".

Three pics: one of the ocean in a remote fishing village in western Newfoundland, and two of the sky and rugged landscape on the Burin peninsula.
