We got back from the Christmas trip late last night. I haven't even thought about looking at any of those pics yet. Luckily, I have a few ready to go from the last trip. I would have liked this one better had the light post not been there, but what's better than ToT bokeh?
I really had never hit anything, in my life, ever until i ran into a light post at school. I was pulling into a tight spot and trying not to hit either of the cars on my sides, and trying to look very capable infrontof the two guys standing in front of me and out of no where, this lightpost pops up. i was so embarassed. when i got out to check it out, one of the guys came up and asked me what happened, a question for which i had no answer. then he told me it would buff out, thanks. i know....
I have to take a moment to inform those of who you don;t know, that i take much pride out of my driving skills. i drive like a man. i know exactly how big my car is, where it is, and where it will fit. obviously this was a huge ego check.

I have no idea what this is, but the nerd in me thought it could have been some sort of signaling post.
Looking all noble and lofty, up on his high perch, but eating a piece of Church's fried chicken we saw him scoop up from a bag in the parking lot.
on my usual lunch drive I came across this bear destroying the branches of this tree to get at the nuts. Then it climbed down and knocked over a light post in the homeowners yard !!!
In October, which isn't usual at all here in Ottawa. Getting around 15-20 cm of snow overnight. Long exposure
Grass and benches have disappeared under brown water. Just when I thought the Schuylkill couldn't get any dirtier.
The first of a series of images showing the state of the Schuylkill River the day after the hurricane.
Rahul & Moshish called me up at the last second before their flight the very next morning. They were glowing with excitement, so it was a perfect setting to hold this engagement session at the LACMA light posts. The very next day they boarded a flight to India to get married. Congrats guys!
Another light post, from a different perspective. They actually were planning to demolish these, too, but then the costs grew too high.

Light Post at the Breakers
The Breakers is the grandest of Newport's summer "cottages" and a symbol of the Vanderbilt family's social and financial preeminence in turn of the century America. Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877) established the family fortune in steamships and later in the New York Central Railroad, which was a pivotal development in the industrial growth of the nation during the late 19th century. The Commodore's grandson, Cornelius Vanderbilt II, became Chairman and President of the New York Central Railroad system in 1885, and purchased a wooden house called The Breakers in Newport during that same year. In 1893, he commissioned architect Richard Morris Hunt to design a villa to replace the earlier wood-framed house which was destroyed by fire the previous year. Hunt directed an international team of craftsmen and artisans to create a 70 room Italian Renaissance- style palazzo inspired by the 16th century palaces of Genoa and Turin. Allard and Sons of Paris assisted Hunt with furnishings and fixtures, Austro-American sculptor Karl Bitter designed relief sculpture, and Boston architect Ogden Codman decorated the family quarters.
The Vanderbilts had seven children. Their youngest daughter, Gladys, who married Count Laszlo Szechenyi of Hungary, inherited the house on her mother's death in 1934. An ardent supporter of The Preservation Society of Newport County, she opened The Breakers in 1948 to raise funds for the Society. In 1972, the Preservation Society purchased the house from her heirs. Today, the house is designated a National Historic Landmark.

It had rained all day. Around seven I went out to take pictures. The rain had let up, but there were still some wonderful clouds in the sky. Living in Arizona you have a lot of clear skies, so it is nice when you get some variety.
