#2 Nancy hanging out with coffee, blanket and Mac in the motorhome on a freezing cold day on the same trip. This one is really odd because it has ZERO photographic or artistic value. It's just a simple snapshot, taken with a cell phone, no less. It has almost the same number of views as #1 above. Can't explain it??
Well, that one is a clear case of "I refuse to believe that this should account for such a difference". What sets this off from a gazillion (motor) home photographs?
You can read that pillow even when reproducing the image at stamp size. It's a meme, planted in a photograph that looks like a viable context for it.
I never thought of that. You are right, of course.
Also this does not really look like a motorhome. So it illustrates just how much "at home" you can be in a motorhome, with the silly pillow again factoring into the consistency. So you get both meme as well as special use case views.
Yes, we are quite "at home" on the road. The above shows the kitchen table.
This sorta shows the kitchen across from the table. Four burner stove, two sinks, big microwave, double door fridge and large freezer. Somewhat limited counter space as compared to home, but enough.
This one shows my "office" and the living area forward of the kitchen. The driver's and passenger's seats turn around and become very comfortable leather chairs. We are not big TV watchers, but you can see the TV from anywhere in the front part of the MH.
The bathroom is behind the TV and there is a hallway with closets and drawers on the left going rearward that allows access to the rear of the MH even if the bathroom is occupied. Bathroom looks like this and is quite nice with a big shower:
The bedroom looks like this:
Usually looks more like this.
There is a big window seat at the foot of the bed and a washer-dryer built into the wall there. The thing I don't like about the bedroom is that it has a huge king-size bed, which makes the space around the sides of it very tight. Nancy is small and I am average-sized, so we don't need such a thing. We bought a new queen-sized mattress in Colorado this year and one of my winter projects is to cut down the bed and then re-build it in the smaller size, which will give us more room.
All of these pics are with the slides open. When driving, the slides are in and space is greatly reduced.
Driving it requires a CDL (commercial drivers' license) like the big rig truck drivers have - and for very good reason. Driving this massive, heavy, tall, wide and very long thing is nothing at all like driving a regular car or pick-up, especially when towing the truck behind it. It has all sorts of things to deal with, like adjustable air suspension, air brakes, engine brake, etc, etc, that regular vehicles do not. One good thing is that you sit up very high so you have really good sightlines, just like a big truck.
You can't just pull of the road anywhere if you have a problem - you need a big area. Lunch along the road in Indiana:
We need to get diesel fuel at truck stops because we can't fit into a normal gas station:
Well, probably more than you wanted to know - it's raining here and I'm stuck inside - what can I say?
Also: while I get annoyed at those sort of nonsensical frames around photographs, I am fairly certain that I am in a solid minority in that regard. But it would appear that your Flickr photographs generally have them, possibly because it makes the images look better in the default display arrangement of Flickr.
You find those little black frames annoying, Dak? Hmmm... Do others feel the same way? I just do those to differentiate finished images for posting from others. Maybe I shouldn't?
