When I first saw Old Car City, I thought of the old saying “One mans junk is another mans treasure.” Old Car City is a junk yard. What better place to find junk? This car is a fine example of the junk that is all over …Continue Reading Here…
I know everyone has seen “that” vehicle that drives down the road missing a hub cap. You know the one, all odd looking and just not right. Some times, I wonder where all those hub caps go. I mean, some are just lying by the side of …Continue Reading Here…
Some of my favorite photography is night photography. There are not many opportunities to take photos at the Tellus Museum at night. Fortunately, I took the family by for National Astronomy Day and was able …Continue Reading Here…
Saturday April 28 was national astronomy day this year. I was fortunate enough to take the kids to the Tellus Museum. We knew there were events all day long including getting to look through the large telescope located at the observatory on the grounds of the museum. All I can say is, OH WOW! We waited in the line to get to the observatory and finally made it to the top. It was our turn and there was no mistaking when the kids first saw Saturn through the eye piece. What an impressive event and time. Thank you Tellus for putting on such a great program. I left the camera in the car so that I could spend some quality time with the family. We got done just as they closed, but I was able to get back with the camera for a couple shots of the observatory. I got this one with the moon.

I was able to explore most of the Air and Space Museums Udvar-Hazy center. It was a whirlwind and I did not get to spend the amount of time I really wanted. One of the places I really wanted to go was the Donald D. Engen tower. It looks over the Udvar-Hazy center …Continue Reading Here…
There’s nothing like a truck. Everyone should have one. They are good for so many things. I think that is why this photo bothers me so much. This truck has seen better days. I guess it’s load got to it. I found it parked nice …Continue Reading Here…
One of the most interesting buildings in Chattanooga is the Hunter Museum. It is comprised of three different and distinct architectural styles. I think my favorite has to be the Plantation house which makes up the center of …Continue Reading Here…
