[singlepic id=1097 w=640 float=center] This is another picture that I think is not actually a good picture, but I find it entertaining. It was taken with a wide lens, close to the ground, accentuating the lean. I guess we did it right… Pisa is a tourist trap. Don’t bother. But,… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1096 w=480 float=left] This one comes from Florence, Italy – it’s a shot up the Arno River looking at the Ponte Vecchio, which Wikipedia tells me means “Old Bridge.” After Janet and I left Sicily, which was delayed and almost didn’t happen, we headed for Florence where we’d meet… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1092 w=480 float=center] Here is the photo that should have gone with yesterday’s write up. This is the best picture I have to show the actual dune at the Lake Michigan Overlook of Pierce Stocking Drive. I don’t have anything new or creative to say about it, but I… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1091 w=640 float=center] Back to not dying today – though fevers do apparently yield some odd dreams. Sometime not that long after the trip to Mackinac, there was a trip to the Traverse City area. One of the things to do was go to the Sleeping Bear Dunes –… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1088 w=480 float=center] Guest post from The Jano: Matt is under the weather so, I’m taking this opportunity to provide a “guest post”; a photo from a trip to Mackinac Island. This was my first time to the land of fudge where cars are not allowed. This trip also… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1085 w=640 float=center] At long as I’m momentarily on the Mackinac area theme – here is a shot of the Mackinac Bridge at night. As usual, I took a bunch of these to see what different settings would yield. This one was the longest exposure, which I like for… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1084 w=480 float=left] Random dragonfly picture, taken on the same detour to the Cut River Bridge as the previous butterfly shot. This one took a few dozen more bad shots to get one that was crisp enough to use. In the spirit of reducing my photos to a manageable… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1083 w=480 float=left] Shot of a Canadian Tiger Swallowtail taken near the Cut River Bridge in the Upper Peninsula – which is fitting since that’s almost Canada. This was a side stop on a trip to Mackinac Island to do a little hiking. Turns out, we couldn’t follow the… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1082 h=480 float=left] There’s not much story behind this picture – it’s just pretty. I was in Austin, TX working on a project for Dell and stayed over a weekend. Steve suggested hiking around Mount Bonnell, a park encompassing the highest point in Austin and situated on the Colorado… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1081 w=480 float=left] From my first trip to Asia – a picture of the tuned mass damper at the top of Taipei 101. This is a 728 ton ‘ball’ of steel suspended near the top of a 101 story building so that the building doesn’t sway too much in… Continue reading
