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

Seagull

[singlepic id=1598 w=480 float=left] A seagull… which I’m sure everyone has seen before.  I don’t have a huge amount of time spent taking bird in flight pictures, but I think this is one of the better ones I’m managed to get.  I think it was taken on Skillagalee Island. Picture… Continue reading

Northern White-Cheeked Gibbon

[singlepic id=1597 w=480 float=left] A Northern White-Cheeked Gibbon.  These are pretty common in zoos all over, or, at least they also have some in the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT, EF 70-300mm @ 300mm, 1/400 sec shutter, f/7.1, ISO 1600
