While walking around in Wheeling, West Virginia the other day, I snapped a number of photos of the local architecture. Most of my shots were from ground level while looking up. Not exactly the best way to do architectural studies. Be that as it may, I wasn’t equipped with a telephoto to zoom in on the details from afar or…

Feelin’ goofy
There was a carnival in my town this weekend which, of course, I did not attend. I had other things to do and really have no need to go to a parking lot carnival, at least a local one. If I came across one in another town and had nothing better to do, I might consider it. A carnival is…
A round of rust
How about a series of rusty pipe photos? I know, I know….you can calm down now. Be patient and you’ll be able to view this wonderful series as soon as you are done reading. I took these photos last month when I was just testing out the Lumix GX1 camera and never did anything with them. I don’t know why – I mean, seriously, the…
Finally, a sign……..(and another sign)
Today I drove through a town that I haven’t been to before. A small, nice looking town that looked like it had a lot of photo possibilities within it but, unfortunately, I didn’t have the time today to explore. It’s a few hours away from where I live so I may return on my own time some day. After spotting…
Thank you subscribers
I just want to take the time to thank everyone who has subscribed to my blog. It really means a lot to me that you care enough to want to know what I post and take the time to visit often. Trying to get this blog off the ground gets a little easier when I know folks are interested in…
Scoolhouse(s) rock
I’m not even sure if these buildings were ever schoolhouses, but I came up with a catchy post title and I’m sticking with it! 🙂 These are just a couple of old rural buildings I came across during my travels and I thought they looked interesting. I basically shot them from the road so I didn’t get to put much effort…
Purple palm trees!
I thought I would post a nice colorful photo for this weekend. A night-time street scene on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach. I would think a thousand other tourists have a similar shot, but nobody I saw walking by with cameras bothered to point it in the same direction. It’s not often that I make the attempt at an after dark photo, mostly…
Outside the Monastery
Just continuing my series on the Ancient Spanish Monastery in Miami. The exterior shots, in my opinion, aren’t as dramatic as the interior shots from my previous post, but I thought someone might like them. I used the same gear ( I had to….it was all I had 😉 ) for all of the shots. Again I did some black and white…
Sea and surf
Until I get done processing more of the monastery photos, I thought I would show a few beach photos. Waking up and hearing the ocean and taking walks on the beach in the evening were some of the relaxing moments of my trip. It’s a different feeling that you don’t get in Pennsylvania. I kept most of my beach shooting…
Moving a monastery to Miami
On Friday, after checking out of our hotel in Miami, we had a few hours to fill before heading to the airport. I remembered seeing a sign for an “Ancient Spanish Monastery” during our travels and thought that it may be worth exploring to waste some time and grab a few photos. It was easy enough to find, situated on a…
