OK... so if the laburnum stands how about a non yellow forklift. Technically whilst sat at work, though I did choose to ride in even though I was offered a lift as it was raining. Bit cheeky I know

What d'ya say?

hightower · « **Reply #189 on:** 01 May 2014, 01:53:57 pm »

You must be a Photoshop wizard! Or is that the new "remove rain" filter in Photoshop BS7?

risticuss · « **Reply #191 on:** 01 May 2014, 06:29:31 pm »

It was a couple of hours later

OK, doing my bit for charity... Your bike next to an ancient tree/wood

You can find your closest (or not so closest) one at

http://www.ancient-tree-hunt.org.uk/discoveries/interactivemap zoom in to your local area and they should appear all over the place. Amazing what you miss sometimes.

Now... I want you guys to really try with this one, I know it might seem boring, no yellow Ferraris, Cafes, or Ice Cream Vans, but at least you'll be out in nature......

(This is the one the wife suggested)

dazza · « **Reply #192 on:** 03 May 2014, 02:39:05 pm »

OK, so this is tree no.6491 on the B2163 in the village of Tunstall in Kent. It's a common yew tree and there are no plaques on it so you're just have to take my word. It could of course just be a random tree and I'm a cheating bastard. I'll let you decide Tree 6491
Status: Ancient tree
Access: Public - open access (e.g. public park)
Species: Common Yew
Girth: 7.82
Will post up pics separately from my phone.

HarryHornby · « **Reply #194 on:** 03 May 2014, 04:56:29 pm »

Surely we must be able to get OUR bikes next to a wisteria during tomorrows LOFO ride out

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #195 on:** 03 May 2014, 04:57:36 pm »

This one was a beauty:

Next challenge: Your bike in front of a stained-glass window

dickturpin · « **Reply #196 on:** 03 May 2014, 06:39:11 pm »

does that mean the bike has to be in a church?

Idea came whilst riding back from that last shot - I passed a church where I would have been able to park on the road and get the shot

House window is fine

Not your own house though (I'll be watching you....

)

Techically more than two, but hopefully you'll be lenient.

risticuss · « **Reply #199 on:** 04 May 2014, 07:52:13 pm »

Your bike with a garden gnome, that is not owned by you.
Extra kudos if it's in an unusual pose, and sat on your bike.
