D.C Trip #3

This picture is of the Wall of Honor at the Air & Space Museum - Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. The Wall is a permanent memorial to the thousands of people who have contributed to our aviation and space exploration heritage.

A hand-held, three-shot bracket, HDR. It was raining when this was take so the sky is pretty stinky, but the wet surfaces made for some nice coloration, so it's not all bad.

D.C. Trip #2

A fine tobacco shoppe in Old Town Alexandria. I spent several minutes parked on that bench enjoying the with an insanely good aromas wafting out the door.

Another hand-held, three-shot bracket, from the recent trip to D.C., all HDR'd up.

Mabry Mill

A picture of Mabry Mill on the Blueridge Parkway this past Sunday evening. Between the ducks in the pond mucking up the reflection and the plethora of folk milling about, it was a chore to get a pic that wasn't full of, uh, 'undesirables'.

Rocky Fork

Here's two HDR'd pics I made from yesterday's trip to Rocky Fork in Unicoi county.

Iced Trees

I took the women-folk on a ride across Unaka mountain this afternoon and came across this oddity. It had been cold enough snow the night before and the spruce trees were covered in rime ice ... pretty cool, huh?

Steam Whistles

I went to the train show in Erwin this AM, camera in hand, hoping to find some photo-worthy subjects like old railroad lanterns and such ... and ... I found almost nothing.

It was just too crowded inside for any pictures. But there was a guy outside selling some spendy railroad stuff out of a trailer, and he had this rack of steam whistles for sale. I had to wait around quite a while for a chance to get this picture without arms or backs of heads.
