An Old Building

This is scanned from a 35mm print which was taken about 1974. I cropped it a little, retouched a few damaged spots, and adjusted the colors.

I don't know if this building still stands, or why it was built.

But I think it makes a great photo!

Wide Woods Panorama

I did some experimenting with the panorama function of my camera.

These are the woods I walk through regularly.

It was a nice day!

Nebraska Sky

This was taken just outside the gate of Scotts Bluff National Monument in western Nebraska.

I found it in my archive as I was looking for a photo for 

Skywatch Friday.

I think I will also link with Scenic Sunday. I hope everyone has a good weekend!

P.S. This place was a landmark on the Oregon Trail. If you are interested in the history of the Trail,

The Geese on Fry Creek

Here I am, back at my favorite spot for taking pictures.

I visit this place often!

These Canada Geese are feeding, swimming among and casting some marvelous reflections!

This is an uncropped image of the same area. There were other goose families on this inlet, also.

Soon they will start practicing for their fall migration.

In South Dakota

We just returned from a road trip to Indiana and Nebraska. We were on the interstate highways a LOT. Now, one nice thing about interstate highways is the availability of rest areas. They vary from state to state, but offer an opportunity to stand up, walk around, and, if you're like me, take pictures! These shots were from one rest area in South Dakota. The frame of a concrete teepee...

This looks like it could have been set up as a sundial, too!

South Dakota is dry, but you do find trees!

Scenic Sunday

I think the Indians used notches like you see here, but probably not bolts and wire!

6/26/11 Note: Spadoman (see his comment below) informs me that they didn"t use notches, but that the poles were tied together. Thanks for educating me!

Summer Scene with Geese

Here is a peaceful scene, full of summer in northern Idaho.
I am thankful God enabled me to live in such a place.

Cool, Clear, Water

I've got water on my mind. With all that's happening these days, I guess it's no surprise. I hope the situation is resolved before it gets any worse. I have heard plans for m0ving pe0pl3 that defy the imagination. lf you are near th3r3, please have a saf3 playse nd back wys to get th3r3.

Now, I would like to show clean, peaceful water reflecting puffy white clouds. I hope blogr will let me do it!

Yay!

I wanted to upload a video that I took from the boat of these ripply reflections, but the little filmstrip icon is not on my toolbar, so here are a few more shots:

Crossing the Great Divide

On Interstate 90 in Montana, traveling west, climbing up to the Continental Divide. The elevation in this first shot  is over 4000 feet above sea level.

 As you climb on this eastern side, the scene gets more rocky--the mountains create a "rain shadow."

The eastern slopes are much drier than the western, so vegetation has a hard time growing.

The elevation at the top of the pass, just east of Butte, Montana, and a reflection of yours truly hiding behind the camera!

 Heading downhill now, Butte and a meal stop in the distance. It was a long day!

enjoying your weekend.

Idaho Evening Sky

  

From my archive, taken early last September. Those of you who have been visiting for a while may recognize the location, as it is a favorite place of mine for capturing beautiful scenes.

For more skies, visit Skywatch Friday and Looking at the Sky on Friday. To see other reflections, try Weekend Reflections, and for scenics you will like Scenic Sunday.

Monochrome Scene

I like this old barn. I took its picture last November and used a green filter when I converted the color shot to black & white. It works for two memes--Monochrome Weekend and Scenic Sunday. Follow the links to see more great pictures!

Bench & Footbridge in B&W

This walkway is beside a marina. The water is so far down right now that all the slips are sitting on the bottom, but in a couple of months it will be full of water and ready for business. The footbridge leads to the patio of a restaurant which faces the street; there are also other footbridges which connect with other restaurants. It is a very pleasant walk, even without water!

Check out Scenic Sunday, Shadow Shot Sunday, and Monochrome Weekly to see great photos from all over!

Scenic Shadows

This was taken last November. It was a nice afternoon!
