Got to kick around Pittsburgh this evening. I actually managed some twilight shots – something I don’t get to do very often. I liked this shot of the walkway because of the mixed lighting which created the greenish light inside the tunnel. Pentax K20D, DA17-70. I’ll throw a couple more shots up tomorrow. Green Way

365-142 Have a seat
County seat that is. I didn’t have much to shoot today. Didn’t really try. So when I was driving through town I thought I would see if there was anything interesting. I liked how the metallic signs on the courthouse doors were almost glowing and, it being Sunday, the streets and sidewalks were deserted. A simple straightforward shot of the front…
365-141 Feeling tropical and a motorcycle
It was a beautiful warm sunny day today. That’s something we haven’t seen much of lately. Of course, that means mowing the lawn while you have a window of opportunity. I didn’t mind, it actually wasn’t that bad. And it felt like summer today, which was pretty nice. At the end of the day I got to relax on the…
365-140 For no apparent reason
It turned out to be a decent day today, so my wife and I decided to take a little walk after lunch. Since the streets around our house are heavy with traffic and we didn’t want to travel far, we decided to take a walk in the city park. Yeah, the same one I talked about in previous posts. The…
365-139 $$$$
Seriously, if there is one thing I always hated spending money on, that would be gas. Even as a teenager I never liked spending even a few dollars on gas. But I need it and I try not to waste it. Still. Pentax K20D, DA17-70. RedLine
365-138 Mingo Creek
I took a spin through the county park after it finally stopped raining this afternoon. I wanted to try my hand at some flowing water shots and since I don’t own a ND filter yet I had to wait until the light level dropped. And, wouldn’t you know it, as I reached the park the SUN started shining! It was nice to…
365-137 Chasing pavement
This parking lot is near a bank I use. It belongs to a once thriving steel mill that was a major employer in town. It has long been closed although a steel company owns it and I think a few people work there to a degree. Probably just used as a warehouse or something. There once were a few thriving…
365-136 No complaints
I think I complain too much on here so today I’ll go easy on the readers. Well, I’ll try at least. My first shot is simply three windows on the upper floor of a downtown building. The color of the building is pretty cool and stands out among the drab beige tones of all of the other nearby buildings. Don’t let the color…
365-135 Things I’ve seen
Well, all of my daily posts are shots of things I’ve seen that day. So I guess today isn’t any different. I live in such a dynamic, colorful area that it’s easy to take wonderful photos. Okay, that was a joke. It’s actually difficult to take photos around here that are somewhat interesting to view. That’s why I try to…
365-134 The street artist
This storefront used to be a radio and electronics store. I remember buying tubes for my guitar amplifier there back in the early eighties. Had I known better at the time I would have bought out his whole inventory of tubes because NOS (New Old Stock) USA made tubes go for a hefty sum today because of availability and the TONE that…
