I happen to be one of those fortunate people that has been to both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. I made that trip for the first time several years ago to the San Diego area of California. I made it to La Jolla cove one afternoon and got a few shots of the water crashing on the rocks.
The grounds are so manicured at the Tellus Science Museum, that there are very few bad angles for photography. I shot this one last spring on our first trip to the Tellus. Since then, I have had the pleasure of visiting many times. The best happen to be when this building is open. Like it was for the National Astronomy Day.
In the 1960’s, McDonnell Douglas introduced the F-4 fighter jet. Commonly referred to as The Phantom. This jet fighter was at the cutting edge of technology for the time and was supposed to keep the pilots more safe and away from the action. So far away from the action that the geniuses that designed it decided not to include guns of any type on the original configuration. Despite this lack, it was a major part of US air power during the modern jet era.
It is rare that I go on photo trips with anyone else besides my wife and children. So, I am taking photos of them more than myself. When I go exploring on my own, I tend to find myself in places where I would like to have a photo of me. With a good tripod and wireless remote, I am able to do it. I got this shot in one of the buses near the back of Old Car City.
I’m not much for black and white photography. However, as with everything else, there is a time for it. I was not able to get much color in this since the brick was light colored and the light color was terrible. It did have plenty of contrast for a nice black and white composure.
Before there were large billboards on narrow poles overlooking nearly every inch of interstate, there were building walls. You can still find many walls being used for descriptive advertisements. I am not for the item being advertised by any stretch of the imagination, but this one happened to be in the middle of downtown Blue Ridge. I am not sure how much advertisement it is getting being in a small town like that.
On of the good things about having such a cool spring has been the abundance of foggy mornings. The amount and thickness of the fog has not been that great, but most mornings it has been there. I caught this just as the fog was burning off one morning at sunrise.
A few days ago, I posted a photo of The Young and The Old. We have had a dog for more than ten years and now I guess it is time to plan for the future… a little kicking and screaming. I had no intention of getting a new dog at this point. I am more than happy with the one I have. However, my dad brought one home and my children have taken her over. Several days later and I think she may be here to stay.
Today, Saturday, I was shown a very beautiful small river in the North Georgia mountains. I could not pass up taking a few shots while I was up there. This large boulder was just sitting lonely near the edge of the river with the sun just right. This is definitely a place to return to.
I haven’t the slightest clue what the name of this building is. It is located near the intersection of 14th street and Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta. I thought the light running straight up the building was neat. I was able to get one of the street lights in the right position that it looks as if something is about to shoot out the top. I saw this and thought of many Star Trek inspired names for it.
