In honor of my possibly distant cousin (we both have Hamilton blood in our veins) Maggie who is in Australia celebrating the unveiling of the latest Indian Motorcyle, I have gone through my old 35mm shots and resurrected this one. It was taken at Space Farms in Beemerville NJ circa 1985. Space Farms is a rather interesting collection of animals (llamas, bears, and lions- mostly rescued from homes who thought they'd make a nice pet until the animal "grew up") as well as antique cars, classic motorcycles and other memorabilia or artifacts housed on over 40 acres of land in barns and buildings or outdoor environments. Our sons enjoyed going there and seeing all the animals. Even back then I liked to take an artistic shot or two alongside the typical family shots. Looking at this now I can see some issues with the exposure (i. e. I overexposed the Indian head on the front of the bike), but I thought it would be fun to post anyway. So this one's for you Maggie!!
@taffy Thanks Taffy! I should have added that I did some post-processing to it- the vintage effect. But I guess folks can figure that out on their own.
Wow! Imagine having a photo just for me! Thank you Ann for thinking about me and my present activities! I'm very flattered and pleased about the "cousin" bit! The Indian icon is probably more recognised from the side but even then it could be an angel with streaming hair and not an Indian with feathered headdress! This one looks like a real classic!
@maggiemae You are more than welcome Maggie! This photo has been in the back of my mind for some time- ever since our exchange about the Hamiltons of Scotland. But I'm glad I didn't post it until now because this event was the perfect time to "unveil" it!

Thank you Timothy, Sally, Dione, Rick and Bev! It was fun to pull this one out of the archives.
