I drove home from work this afternoon by way of the Pentagon and noticed a sign that said Lyndon Johnson Memorial Grove. Certainly I've passed the same sign many times in the past, but today I decided to park and see what was there. I was able to get a few pictures before darkness fell. It's a pretty quiet place, there was no one else around this evening.
In an effort to find some different looks today I set out to do more looking down than looking up. Lucky for me I found these interesting shadows. I found the second pair while looking out a third story window.
Since I've taken most pictures in the day or early evening I thought I'd try these from the morning. It was great sky this morning, lots of clouds, lots of colors.
Feeling unsatisfied with what I took today I went back to these shots that I took in Cape Cod about 6 weeks ago. I took them in color, but since today was such a rainy one I decided to post them in black and white.
Happy to be home and in the company of the colors of fall on the east coast. The first picture is what I get to see when I wake up in the morning. This morning it seemed more beautiful than ever. It's good to be back home.
I guess today's title is a bit cliche, but so much of Las Vegas is so why not go with it. My body took until the day I left to figure out what hour it was so I can't say that I'm all that thrilled with the pictures I got there. These are the last of them. The last two are sculptures I ran into at the airport.
I've always arrived in Las Vegas at night...to the view of the strip. It is what it is. I always enjoy waking up in the morning to the sights of the desert and mountains.
I spent about five minutes on the front porch this morning...there's still plenty of fall reminders around.
I noticed this tree out of my car window as I left work today. I like the look of the clouds today.
These are the final pictures from Pittsburgh. The first was taken from Grandview Ave. at the Incline observation area. Night photography is a new thing for me, but I think the shot does an okay job of showing the lights of the city below.
Sitting in a conference all day doesn't leave much time for taking pictures, but I was able to find some things of interest. I'm not sure who the "jazzy" guys are but I was surprised to run into them on a downtown street. Many buildings show the the faded advertisements from years before, and then I found one with a rather large mural. The building in the third picture reminds me of another favorite, the Flatiron building in New York. Although the last picture may not do them justice I was drawn to the alley because of the fire escapes that run up and down each of the buildings.
