This is a picture I took at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, AZ. It's a mothballed "Super Guppy." The Guppies were built from parts of retired U.S. Air Force C-97 Stratofreighters and airline 377 Stratocruisers. They were designed to transport bulky but relatively light cargo. NASA used them.

The U. S. has this strange (to me) habit of mothballing perfectly still-useful aircraft and other equipment.

Very nice photograph.

This is a shot of the two-at-a-time gallows in the side yard of the old Tombstone, AZ courthouse.

I notice the nooses have the traditional 13 wraps around them.

Yep, and here is a prime example.

The quarrier had just finished the ceremony when I looked to the north and saw this:

Tell me what you see.

I see a mother Whale and her calves.

You can perceive a fish of some sort in this photograph. If you shift your point of view so that the line that forms the bottom of the bird's beak and throat becomes the mouth of a fish, you'll see it.

An elder on the Sisseton-Wahpeton Reservation in northeastern South Dakota put it like this: "The Lakotah are an eagle people, so they will see a winged. We (the Dakotah) are a fish people, so we see a fish."

Part Cherokee, but Native Floridian and large aquatic mammals are abundant here, I might be biased....lol

Thanks...I was embarrassed to say that I saw a trout!! So I kept quiet. Now I don't feel so foolish.
