My placeholder motorcycle until I can get another bike this Spring. Did quite a lot post-process with this: contrast, definition, and curves. I wanted to make sure the texture of the wood was well represented.

A toy soldier Christmas decoration that someone apparently tossed off Memorial Bridge and which is now stranded on the river ice until Spring.

This makes me think of my grandfather - a military man - for two reasons: 1) he always had toy soldier decorations leading up the front steps of his home at Christmas, and 2) at family gatherings empty bottles were known as dead soldiers.
