Classic British Flight Sim

Took advantage of a very atypical November day (topped out around 70F), fit in a quick ride this afternoon. Here are a few snaps taken around town:

A couple of the our state capitol building:




A memorial for the Iowans who served through the end of the Civil War:



A couple looking toward downtown Des Moines, from the capitol:




My trusty mount, and the bridges over the Des Moines River:



Downtown from the shore of an abandoned quarry, turned into park:



A couple of the Raccoon River valley:




Thanks for looking,
Chris

Great shots Chris. Especially those first couple.

What a building that is.

I am loving the fact many of the forum members are active cyclists.

Wonderful, Chris. Thank you so much for posting these. I really enjoy seeing where people live and what they do outside of flight simming. I've never been to Iowa so I had no preconception of what Des Moines might be like. It looks like a lovely place to live, clean, pleasant and big skies. I like the look of the river valley - is it a public park? And that building is just amazing!

One concern I have is that there are no people Is that normal or did they find somewhere better to go and didn't tell you?

Oh thanks, old bean Inspired by Del's of course

I quite miss the old rascal at this time of year so I thought I'd give him an airing for a week or so. It could have been worse - I could have picked one of Mum with her sergeant's stripes Mr Hitler didn't stand much chance against that!

Bless 'em all. Where the hell would we be without them?
