Capital Dome (City at Night)

Another of my City at Night pictures. This one is from the front lawn of the Pennsylvania state capital building. I just love the color of the dome and Lady Commonwealth shining bright.

The Soul of Luxembourgers

This bas relief statue is in Luxembourg, a small country wedged between Belgium, France and Germany. I visited here in 1985 and took a lot of pictures. This lion represents Luxembourg. The top inscription is in Latin and reads "The Soul of Luxembourgers was Stronger than the Mountains and Rocks" The bottom inscription is in French and reads "The Heroes of the Armed Forces who died for the Homelands". 1940-1945

Like last year, it is March 1st and I am bringing it in with a Lion.

Birding Help

An early morning walk after a late night on Photoshop has my brain nearing shut down. I walked, this morning, along the Big Spring. It was a very quiet morning and I only saw a couple Mallards. I did see a Red Winged Blackbird and a Red Tailed Hawk being chased by two Crows. And I saw a bunch of tweety birds. These two were patient with me. But what I thought would be easy turned out not so. What Are they? The first is a Song Sparrow, I'm pretty sure on that. The second though, has me baffled. I thought when I took the picture; Junco. No, the black beak nixed that. Warbler? Vireo? What do you think? I'm hoping to soon get another bird book, but 'till then do you know?

No Name

This is what you do when you have no idea what to call your new town. You got to come up with a name quick because the Colorado Department of Transportation will not wait on you. Exit 119 is along Interstate 70 going through Glenwood Canyon.

In the Middle of the Road

This picture is from a senior picture shoot last fall. I conceived this idea from a similar yet completely different picture I found online. We found this back road on a Sunday morning to be the perfect set up. I think only one car came by. When it did I quickly moved the chair to the side of the road. I'll bet they thought, "Damn, if we'd have come through five minutes ago, we could have gotten that chair." My original idea was cornfields on either side, but when we got to the designated road through the cornfield they were there picking the corn. That's my luck, a day late and a dollar short.

Dyson's Planing Mill (PG XCV)

H. P. Dyson and Sons, Co. Planing Mill is lost on the back street s of Newville, Pa. Sitting on the corner of Cherry and McFarland Streets it is right next to the railroad. I guess for easy shipping. It now looks boarded up and empty.

Another Harrisburg Panorama

This one was taken from the same spot as my header. Just a couple weeks later and during the day. Just as cold.
