The Blue Ridge Parkway through North Carolina is a beautiful place and there are a lot of great vistas and pullovers worth stopping at. My favorite waterfall from our trip[ last year was Crabtree Falls. It is only about a mile and a half hike I think. We weree there […]
There are only so many good viewpoints to take pictures of any city. I am always looking for new elements to either include in the photo or to single out to focus on. The first shot tonight was taken from the front porch of the University of Tampa. Using a […]
My second favorite viewpoint in Tampa, the Platt Street Bridge view. I keep going back to this because the changing lights on both the bridges and the top of the Suntrust tower make it a little different each time. On the way home I took several shots of the Hyde […]
Of course, a trip to the Magic Kingdom would not be complete without a few pictures of Cinderella’s Castle. I like this angle which had a nice reflection. The weekend we were there they were taping the Christmas parade so you could not get much of a shot from the […]

Two more shots from Minneapolis tonight. The first is one more shot of the reflection of downtown Minneapolis in the Mississippi River. The second shot is of a houseboat and the grain belt beer sign also along the Mississippi. The second photo was processed to give a retro look. I […]
What a difference 30 minutes makes! These two shots are taken from the same location just 36 minutes apart. Obviously the sun was setting in the first shot providing some nice color on the buildings. The second shot was after the sun was down ion the “Blue Hour” which is […]
