Leaving New Orleans

A final ride on the streetcar in New Orleans catches Sachie being reflective of her time in the city. Little did we know what changes this beautiful city had in its future, but it will survive.

Snow Fog

A foggy, snowy morning leads this road and the travelers that dare to traverse it to unknown destinations.

Rusty, Trusty Tractor

The fields that this old tractor worked in are long gone. She may lean a little, but she is still a powerhorse.

Franklin Park Conservatory

An older shot of the conservatory in Franklin Park, Columbus, Ohio. This was taken with my old Fujifilm MX-700, my first digital camera.

Big Four Bridge

A Sidney, Ohio landmark since 1923. The Big Four Railroad line was the east-west link through the county. It was known as the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis (thus the Big Four Railroad), later the Bee line, and after 1930, the New York Central Railroad. Construction workers used 28,000 cubic yards of concrete and 900,000 pounds of steel. Legend has it that a worker was walking across the planks when he stepped on it wrong and the board flipped up causing him to lose balance and forcing him to fall into the concrete. Other workers tried to get him out, but their efforts were worthless. He was gone, sinking into the concrete. Twenty minutes later they began pouring again.

Turtledove

The turtledove, or mourning dove, is a grayish-brown, swift-flying wild dove (Zenaidura macroura) of North America, noted for its mournful call. I’ve been watching a pair make their nest the past couple of days and she is now sitting on her eggs.

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.
