Southernmost Point

[singlepic id=1612 h=480 float=left] The southernmost point in the continental USA.  Posted because it’s just a kind of cool thing to have seen once upon a time, not for it’s photographic qualities. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040z, lens @ 21mm (140mm equiv), f/2.6, 1/320 sec, ISO 100

Key West Art

[singlepic id=1611 w=480] You can blame Michael for making me think of the Key West folder and the recent bout of dumb sculpture pictures.  Here’s another which I don’t have a better name for than generic Key West art – looks like a painted metal snake plant to me. Picture… Continue reading

T-Rex Sculpture

[singlepic id=1610 h=480] Another from the Key West sculpture garden – taken years before Artprize made big, coarse, welded metal structures cool.  Of course, it was also taken with the state of the art Olympus C-2040z making use of both of its megapixels to record Mr. T-Rex in such fine… Continue reading

Cicada Sculpture

[singlepic id=1609 h=480] From Key West, one of the paid beaches, I think, a nice cicada sculpture.  This one was in the sculpture park very near the T-rex from a previous, very old, post. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040z, lens @ 7.3mm (40mm equiv), f/4.5, 1/800 sec, ISO 100

MSU Engineering Building

[singlepic id=1272 w=480 float=left] Another older picture from MSU’s campus.  This is the MSU Engineering Building in the Fall taken from the walkway between the Engineering Building and the International Center, which is actually the back side of the Engineering Building. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040z, lens @ 7.3mm (41mm… Continue reading

Colosseum

[singlepic id=1271 w=480 float=left] This is probably recognizable, being the Roman Colosseum, but from the inside showing the under-floor structure.  At the time I didn’t figure I’d ever be back, but as it turns out I did have a chance to visit again about ten years later.  I’ll eventually look through… Continue reading

Sphere Within Sphere

[singlepic id=1270 w=480 float=left] This is inside the Vatican Museum – it’s the Sphere Within Sphere sculpture.  Apparently there are many versions of this sculpture in various settings. Picture taken with Olympus C2040z, lens @ 7.3mm (41mm equiv), f/3.6, 1/400 sec, ISO 100

Altar of the Fatherland

[singlepic id=1269 w=480 float=left] It took a bit of digging to figure out what this was since I didn’t really know where to start.  If I have my information correct, this is the Altar of the Fatherland in Piazza Venezia. I had no idea what it was when I took… Continue reading

Arch of Constantine

[singlepic id=1268 w=480 float=left] Here’s a different arch, in a different country… This is the Arch of Constantine outside the Colosseum in Rome.  There’s too much fence in the picture for it to be really good, but I felt like it went along with the Arc de Triumphe from a… Continue reading
