Different Food
Moody Monday – different & Thursday Challenge – Food. A 2 for 1 shot. I’m usually not one that does artistic shots like this, but wanted to try something different.
la Tour Eiffel
My favorite photograph. This was taken from atop a moving tour bus going around a corner. I looked up, took the shot and thought, oh well, I was too close to get it. Not until I was back home and viewed it on the monitor did I realize that it was almost perfect.
(If you came here looking for the zoom plugin for PixelPost, I am no longer using/developing it. I have since moved the photoblog to WordPress, please click PixelPost to WordPress Exporter)
Summer Rose
One of the first photos I took with my new Fujifilm S7000 last summer. Tiny objects make nice photos.
Notre Dame Statue
One of the statues adorning the facade of Notre Dame in Paris, France.
Notre Dame Paris, France
Side/rear view of Notre Dame. This shot was almost thrown away, but some editing touch-ups converted it into a favorite of my niece (who now has a 20″ X 30″ framed print on her wall). Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Notre Dame Paris, France
The magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France. There is never enough time to visit and admire this masterpiece of architecture.
Tower of the Americas, San Antonio, TX
The Tower stands as an 80-ton reminder of HemisFair 1968, Texas’ World’s Fair, for which it was the theme structure. The Tower is a triumphant feat of architectural and engineering skills and is still one of the tallest freestanding structures in the Western Hemisphere. Rising 750 feet to the top of the antenna, the Tower is 87 feet higher than the Seattle Space Needle, 67 feet higher than the Washington Monument. The observation deck is encircled by an outdoor walkway.
Entrance to Neil Armstrong Museum
The entrance to the Neil Armstrong Air & Space Museum in Wapakoneta, Ohio. Another night time shot that came out particularly well.
Kemah, TX Lighthouse
Lighthouse in Kemah, TX. Kemah, located on Galveston Bay, is named for the Karankawa Indian word for “wind in the face”.
New Orleans Tomb
This particular tomb caught my attention due to the fact that it was completely rust covered from the iron work. A sharp contrast to the sea of sun bleached tombs elsewhere in the cemetery.
