These are taken inside the Hungarian State Opera House. I wanted to see the actual theater room, which ought to be the most beautiful in the world, but it was under construction. It didn't say so on the website at the time but I was told when I was about to buy the tickets, inside the place.
So that lady at the counter was like: "ey yo ehhh, you can't see the actual theater, which is being renovated, but instead we have a surprise act, is that okay with you?". You still had to pay top dollar for this so I know I was being scammed but it was raining so where was I gonna go? Me: "yes lady I have no place to go."
So they showed us some pretty interiors from inside the place and at the end they had two opera singers perform for like 15 minutes and I tell you no lie: that was super impressive and well worth to dineros. So yeah, I'm a opera fan now :)
I think I have some footage of it. If I can find it, I will post it.

After a wonderful day's shoot at Keswick, managed to go to the Lowry Theatre for the evening to see the Chinese State Circus in action, great show it was, managed to sneak in the 40D and the 50-135mm F2.8 lens and fired off a few shots, taken at F2.8 and ISO 1600.
I like this one as the couple were flying through the air!

The house can be visited at weekends only, so it was closed when we were there.

Madison, Wisconsin. This view is from low on the University of Wisconsin's Bascom Hill through the State Street Mall to the Capitol. The dome of the Capitol is the largest granite dome in the world.
The statue atop the state capitol building is named "Wisconsin" and was placed on the capitol dome as a symbol of the state's motto, "Forward." Daniel Chester French, who also created the fabulous Abraham Lincoln statue for the Lincoln Memorial, sculpted "Wisconsin" in 1914 to symbolize the spirit of Wisconsin progress. (Wikipedia)

This is an urban park in the Denver Metro, Roxborough State Park. It has the same cool formations as Garden of the Gods a bit further south, albeit smaller and not quite as dramatic!

Harriman State Park is located in Island Park Idaho. It's a favorite place of mine to cross country ski during the cold winter months. I've rarely visited here in the summer and after spending a little time here, I look forward to coming back. I have a strong desire to hike the paths that I've skied. I can't believe how different everything looks in the summer. The river you see in this image is the world famous Henry's Fork of the Snake River. It's famous for fly fishing.
*Pano of three images.

From the same roll that I got back today. They were taken months apart, but something about them fit together for me.
So, the story is that at the time Eric and I had not heard of the film "Religulous" and we thought that the marquee sorta meant to say that they were open every day religiously. This supposed misspelling was hilarious to me because there was a church adjacent ot the theater! I later found out that it was the name of a documentary. duh. Still funny. Eric made a super awesome painting of the theater and wrote about our journey here. Check it out.
My second mistake regarding the theater was unknowingly referring to the town it's in as "Tupperware Lake" while on the phone with the guy that I was supposed to meet at Traditional Arts of Upstate New York that afternoon. Ooops.
I had Thanksgiving dinner at 10:30 pm at the diner on the left. The interior is pretty great and I'll have more to post of it soon.
(I'm listening to the cars squeal by in the street outside my apt. as they try to make their way down the slush and snow covered streets. I just missed getting a ticket and being towed last night during the snow emergency!!)
In Traverse City, MI - Great Lakes Maritime Academy was established in 1969 to provide education and training to those wanting a career in the merchant marine. The academy trains mates (pilots), and maritime engineers. The summer of 2002 brought the arrival of the 224-foot (68 m) training ship, a former Navy vessel, now named the T/S State of Michigan. The academy moved into the new facility late fall of 2003.
Originally dedicated on October 23, 1972, the academy harbor was next on the list for improvements and reconstruction began in 2004. The harbor was completely rebuilt and expanded to better accommodate the T/S State of Michigan and the academy’s three smaller vessels.[2] Appropriately named the “Alumni Light”, the Great Lakes Maritime Academy Alumni Association provided funding to place a large green harbor light atop the 40-foot-tall (12 m) former aftermast of the T/S State of Michigan at the northwest corner of the academy’s harbor. The harbor was completed in 2005, and concluded the construction of the modern campus now home to the Great Lakes Maritime Academy where the T/S State of Michigan is moored only 150 feet (46 m) from the buildings rear.
