Flashlight Selfies - around the world :)

[Poppy]

My brother took me onto a boat ride. We visited an island where I've been camping as a little boy scout about 20 years ago. I still have the knife that I got there.

Here's picture with my keychain light, Olight i2 EOS. I rarely use it, but it's my trusted backup light

That Olight looks like it has been around the block a few times, eh? Shows... character!

So today, I was visited by someone from a Galaxy Far, Far, away!

He wanted to take a picture with my little BLF-348 nichia running a 10440 LiIon.

Kinda small for a light saber.

Poppy: The camera didn't focus on the flaslight so it's seems to have been abused more than it actually is. It has been in my in my keychain with the keys, Victorinox Rambler and small pliers for almost three years now so the painting has worn a little. I've matched the length of the rings so that the lense cannot get scratched by any of the keys or tools and it still seems to be untouched

Greetings to Luke's father!

Here's my progression of EDC lights, hanging out on my desk.

The Streamlight Nano's blue coating didn't hold up very well. I think I carried that for about a year.
The Stainless DQG IV was also carried for a year or so, and looks great, (it looks better in real life than in the picture). Gotta love stainless!

And the CooYoo in Stainless, for about a year, again... still like new!

So, I'd say that the paint on your light held up pretty well for three years of EDC. Although I've heard a story of how some people in Finland like to repaint things Are you sure you didn't give that light a little touch up?

Wellington Arch in London's Hyde Park Corner - one of the most treacherous traffic junctions in London, but with this rather lovely Arch, surrounded by green and several War memorials.

You can go up inside the Arch, there is a shop and an enchanting Museum, plus you can get out on the second storey (under the statue of Nike, Goddess of Victory) and have some good views into Green Park and towards Buckingham Palace.

With my venerable Fenix P1D CE head on a Leef McClicky body - my first mod purchase, as a matter of fact.

Meanwhile over in the City of London. Some commuters get a statue.

The tallest one sports a useful Head torch.

(Don't worry, I got my Zebralight back off him afterwards!!!)

I really like these two pictures

Thanks, I look at the statue and am reminded of Prince Charles. Must be the nose and ears, I suppose.

Ooooh... Hawaii :thumbsup:

So, once upon a time, there was a man, who discovered a dull brass lantern on a California beach, one morning while taking a stroll, before the sun came up. Naturally he was carrying his EDC of the day, and it glinted, just a little bit, off of this lantern.

He rubbed some of the grime off of it, and out popped a Genie!
Well you know the story, but this Genie was old and tired, and would only grant him ONE wish.

Man... "Hmmm, I've never been to Hawaii, and always wanted to go, but I am afraid of flying, and I get sea-sick, way too easily. Please build me a bridge so that I can drive there. "

Genie... "OMG! A bridge! ... Oh NO! Anything else! Do you have any idea how much work that would be? It's almost 25 hundred miles, over 4,000 kilometers! The deep oceanic trenches, how many columns... PLEASE anything else."

Man... "Ah... ok... I've never been very good with women. Any relationship I start, I destroy within a few weeks. Tell me... what makes them tick?"


Genie... "So about that bridge, 'Do you want ONE lane or TWO?' "

:laughing:

Sorry... couldn't help myself

Thanks, I look at the statue and am reminded of Prince Charles. Must be the nose and ears, I suppose.

Yes! I can definitely see the resemblance. I wonder if the artist had him in mind?

Back in New Jersey
I took my Eagletac D25A2 out for a little ride.

The MetLife Stadium in Secaucus, NJ, is home to two American Football teams:
The New York Giants, and the Jets.

The stadium on the left, and a monstrosity on the right that is planned to be a huge shopping mall, and amusement park, or something. That orange extension is planned to be a indoor ski slope.

One more picture...
That's the stadium, about 1.5 miles away, with the Empire State Building about another 7.5 miles away in the back-ground.

I can't see all of those pics, Poppy.

Finally I am able to post a few from a new place - Wales!

Here is my EA11 by some impressive ridges in the Llangollen Valley.

...and in Llangollen itself - quite a good grocers here.

On a steam train...

...on the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (The biggest one in Europe).

...and in Chirk Tunnel.

Last one is of my Astrolux, on the border between England and Wales - hence the sign.

Llangollen should be on everybody's list of must see places in the world!

The adventures of my flashlights! This Olight S1 has been with me for quite a while now, from small hiking in the Appalachians to swimming in the Gulf. This pic shows it surveying the amusement park in the Mall of America.

HDS is next on my wishlist! Love seeing one out and about. Where is that?

No idea where it's headed.
But I gave this MaxFire to a conductor on this train. I requested she take a few pix of it along the way and gave her my email address.
She acted interested, but we'll see.
Whut-the-hey?

Eh, did it since I never go anywhere...


In August I'll be venturing out. Not real far but we pass some interesting towns time forgot each time we visit my wifes mom. She lives beside the water far, far away from civilization. Ironically 20' or less from the neighbors. lol (why do folks do that?)

And next week the wife is sharing driving duties with a friend moving to Phoenix. So I'll get her to snap a few pix along the way.
