Andy, Is that the 2 SR-71's sitting in Edwards Air Force Base? Was there about 10 years ago, and they were sitting in a hanger.

Hi Fiesty,
To be a real anorak, the foreground is the A12 Blackbird and behind it the SR71. I am sure both were at Edwards, but now at the Blackbird Air Park at Skunkworks in Palmdale (Plant 42).
Well worth a visit as the guide is a volunteer who flew them for 5 years. Sadly, but unsurprisingly, Palmdale had a fully functional simulator, but decided no one would want to go in that so it went to Texas for free where it is just a STATIC display! Absolutely no one would want to feel what it's like to take off at 240mph and fly at 2200mph would they!

That's also a lovely looking meadow you have there. Blimey, I sound middle aged writing that

You grow hay in a meadow, there does not appear to be livestock in it so that rules out paddock or field. Yard is hard standing, enclosed and next to a house (although my dic' does give the USA description as "the space next to a house is called a yard even if it has grass, trees and flowers".)
So if it's next to a house and you can see some flowers I guess it's a yard.
I'll go with garden.

Looks like a freshly mowed Field next to a Yard. Definitely not a Garden as there's no flowers or food growing from the look of it. Not enough trees to be a Grove.. Wondering why Curator didn't back the Atoms up to the bushes/trees before taking the picture, would look so much better getting them out of the dirt IMO...

Because (going back to his original thread of "Car show today..."), if the cars were on the grass, it would be a Concours d'Elegance, not a car show.

That's great! Just further proves that the Atom spans all levels of automobile culture. A little something in there for ANY car aficionado to appreciate. Where can I get a hi-res version for my desktop?

I just had a look at PMing you a copy of the image but I don't think I can add an attachment to it. Presumably the simplest way is to email it to you?
