Oh, the Bridges, Bridges, Bridges

Sorry but tonight's is a quick post. These are the bridges of New York City. Front to back they are the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge and the Williamsburg bridge in the far back. This was taken from the South Street Seaport looking north up the west side of the East River.

4 X 400

Spring is here and, like fall, sports are changing. With spring there is track and field and there is spring soccer. As I was fixing up these picture to post I found that to properly tell the story with pictures I did get pre-race pictures of the meeting with the PIAA official but I should have shown the firing of the starter's gun at the beginning of the race and the final crossing of the victor. Shippensburg won, by the way. I think I was more focused on the passing of the baton. I'm not sure a captured that image as I saw it in my mind but what I did capture was reality. I've got a few more weeks to work on this.

Memories of Snowmagedon 2010

Today's quick post is from Snowmagedon just a mere 9 weeks ago. This is a well traveled rail crossing between home and town. Look closely it is still snowing really hard.

Checkered Past and Neato Burrito

These are a couple of pictures I took a year ago and are two of the shops in the old Citizen's fire station in New Cumberland. Checkered Past, I believe, is a vintage clothing shop and Neato Burrito is the home of the best burrito the size of your shoe there is around these parts. I'm always looking for good neon to take pictures of, but either I can't find it or it's mid-day and won't show up. Til then I'll just keep plunking along until I get it right.

Here are a few more pictures from the helicopter landing zone the Vigilant Hose Company of Shippensburg set up for Life Lion to land for a transport. All these pictures would have been followed up by yesterday's picture of them taking off.

SkyWatch... Lift Off

Today's entry into the SkyWatch zone is Penn State Milton Hershey's Life Lion taking off on a transport. My fire department set up this landing zone for the transport of a motocross racer who was involved in a crash during a race. I put together five separate pictures to show the progression of the lift off.

Off the Hooke (PG 141)

OK, I found this week's Gentleman while on a drive around last Sunday. This barn sits on the outskirts of Mt. Holly Springs, Pa. Sitting along Baltimore Street at Watts Street but it faces Mt Holly, so I didn't see it at first. I actually did a lot of work of the Hooke's under a different incarnation. But that was a hundred years and a full lifetime ago.
