i found my daddy's starlight lens that turns bright points of light into stars. this is random, but it was just a test of the lens :)

This is right near the edge of the Table Rock area at the Canadian Falls, where mist has frozen to one side of this light post in January. Niagara Falls, Ontario, 2004.

Observing from a lightpost

Taken yesterday...

Repost

Yes--a light post with security cameras attached.

Every time there is a strong windstorm, one or more of these lightposts gets blown over.

Wanuskewin is a National Historic Site of Canada near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan that was a gathering place for thousands of years.

Thursday December 1 2005. The last light of the last day of Van Nguyen's life. The 25 year old Melbourne man was hanged at dawn in Singapore's Changi prison the following morning. Very sad.

Old downtown seen by night from a church's frontyard.

Lightpost in the Captiol building.

I took this from the NFTA Small Boat Harbor in Buffalo, NY.

Throw back Thursday

I was recently shown a social media post that went something along these lines….

Going outdoors – not cancelled

Music - not cancelled

Family - not cancelled

Reading - not cancelled

Singing - not cancelled

Laughing - not cancelled

Hope - not cancelled

Let’s remember what we have

Rather than going out and creating new images, it seems appropriate to look back at past collections of beautiful things our area has to offer during these difficult times and that will still be here when we are done with the current conditions….

Stay safe, stay supportive

We were putting the finishing touches on a new cooling tower installation at work. 4 new units on the 6 floor level with an impressive crane doing the lifting. I managed to get a couple of shots on the way to the parking lot.

Lightpost is in the foreground.

Beach garden bird is seen on lightpost in Santos, Brazil.

I just did some editing to evaluate how it looks on Flickr and judge of what I can do to improve.

Shooting the lightpost at about 4:30pm made it possible to illustrate (1) early evening daylight - note, the lights are not on yet and (2) the winter clouds of Texas. This photograph was shot in Kemah, Texas on Saturday, January 29th, 2011.

Getting to know my new camera (Nikon D3100). So I went to a few local parks to take some shots.

This is an oldie.

Sullivans Pub

Erie's Oldest Irish Pub

Located in Downtown Erie

A popular place especially on St. Patricks Day

This is a cool peice of wood that holds up a light. It is a lightpost

Along the Tower of London, I literally had a fraction of a second to frame it, focus, adjust my settings and capture the photo before throngs of tourists blocked my view. It was incredibly crowded this day in London.

Notice the purple lightpost...
