Woo hoo, I’m back home! It’s been a long day and I’m a bit tired so I’ll just post and run. I discovered this creation over the hill from where I quite often turn around my truck on a job site. For some reason the other day I wondered what was over the crest of the hill and I saw this!…

365-244 Hmm, took a while
It’s been a long evening. After going out to shoot some dusk photos and then heading back to the hotel after dinner I realized the batteries in my wireless mouse were dead. As I mentioned in a previous post, trying to process photos on a laptop without a real mouse isn’t an easy experience. So I ran over to Wal-Mart because it was too…
365-242 Dumpster dive
I’m not diving into dumpsters but I always find them as a good source of color, texture and abstract lines. The more beat-up and left to rot the better. Like yesterday, I took this photo during the day as part of my “shoot anything and everything” strategy. Even when I have a few shots from the day, I usually like…
365-240 Look closely
One thing I like to do sometimes is look at photos I have taken at or near 100% and see if I can find pictures within the picture. When I come across what could be a potential composition I have to decide if a crop is viable or if I have to try a re-shoot. A re-shoot isn’t always possible if it’s a…
365-239 Around the block
All of these photos were taken during a walk around a single block in a neighboring town. I first spotted the boat and parked to take a picture. Afterwards, looking at the old buildings, I thought I would look around for further subject matter. Who knew I would find a gorilla? All Pentax K20D, DA17-70. Click on pics for larger…
365-238 (the actual one)
I see I misnumbered yesterdays post. It has been corrected for those that are keeping score or at least counting down until I stop this madness. For photo 238 I took a spin through the county fairgrounds to see what was going on. I missed the actual county fair last week because of scheduling and assorted other goings on. Thinking I would…
365-237 Love them doors
There is something about the brass doors on old city buildings that I like. The patina and warmth of the brass, especially when reflecting the late afternoon light. This door is on a downtown bank. It’s a revolving door on the Trust Building which is one of the older buildings in town. When I stopped at a stoplight and saw the low…
365-236 Accidental theme
I know I spoke of wanting to do a set of photos with a theme but that’s not what I planned for today. I didn’t get out until late to take any photos but it was still sunny and clear and I really didn’t feel like taking any normal photos. So I thought I would go to a nearby park with…
365-235 Two of each
Another day of watching my truck repair bill climb. Sigh. So with everything so crazy you just have to laugh and relax. That calls for lunch with my wife on the southside of Pittsburgh. After lunch on such a fine day, we enjoyed a little stroll and, of course, I took a few pictures. I have a couple of color…
365-233 Been there, done that
I revisited Oglebay Park today to shoot a little color for a change. I was there last spring for a previous 365 shot (365-110 ). While I was there today I shot some flowers, a few butterflies, and the grounds. All things I have done in past posts. The problem with the park is that it is so nice and clean I can’t…
