Well the building with the flock of pigeons was real, the spring color along the High Line and a bit of Andy Warhol art was added along with the texture by Skeletalmess. As seen walking down the High Line on my way to the Whitney and the Andy Warhol exhibition.

Mormon Row is a line of homestead complexes near the southeast corner of Grand Teton National Park, in the valley called Jackson Hole. The rural historic landscape's period of significance includes the construction of the Andy Chambers, T.A. Moulton and John Moulton farms from 1908 to the 1950s. Six building clusters and a separate ruin illustrate Mormon settlement in the area and comprise such features as drainage systems, barns, fields and corrals.Apart from John and T.A. Moulton, other settlers in the area were Joseph Eggleston, Albert Gunther, Henry May, Thomas Murphy and George Riniker.
The area is also known as Antelope Flats, situated between the towns of Moose and Kelly. It is a popular destination for tourists and photographers on account of the historic buildings, the herds of bison, and the spectacular Teton Range rising in the background.

HDR from 5 shots: handling the differences in lightening and shadows at this time of the day was tough. I used Photomatix and then Lightroom 6.
You can't visit Mt. Airy, North Carolina without a stop by this quaint little house on East Haymore Street. Andy Griffith lived here with his mother and father during his adolescence years until he graduated from high school. The house contains antiques and is decorated in a 1930's-1940's style with Griffith memorabilia. Andy’s boyhood home is even available for nightly rentals and is within walking distance from downtown Mount Airy, including Snappy Lunch mentioned on The Andy Griffith Show, Floyd’s Barbershop, The Andy Griffith Museum, Opie’s Candy Store, and Mayberry Soda Fountain.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Bennett Classic Antiques Auto Museum
Website: www.bennettclassics.com
Bennett Classics Antique Auto Museum houses around 70 vehicles manufactured from 1913 to 2013. The museum was started in 2007 by brothers Buddy & Joe Bennett, whose uncle owned a Ford dealership in Burnsville, NC, when they were growing up, instilling in them a lifelong love of cars. They moved to Rutherford County in the late 1960s, where they both started successful businesses, and on the side started collecting cars. Over the years, their collection that was in storage grew, but it wasn't until their retirement, when they started sorting through the collection, that they realized they had a whole building full of unrestored, low mileage automobiles. It was then the idea of the museum was born. The museum won the National Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) Museum Award in 2014, an honor based on the museum's involvement in community, its presentation of the antique car hobby, the preservation of the automobiles, and the educational efforts of the museum. The collection includes many types of automobiles, from Model Ts to Mack trucks, a Shelby Mustang, the retired Forest City American Lanfranc fire truck, and a 1963 Ford Mayberry sheriff's car signed by Don Knotts (A.K.A Barney Fife of the Andy Griffith TV show).
The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a sports car marketed in 2+2 coupe (1955–1974) and convertible (1957–1974) body styles by Volkswagen. The Karmann Ghia combined the chassis and mechanicals of the Type 1 (Beetle) with styling by Luigi Segre of the Italian carrozzeria Ghia and hand-built bodywork by the German coach-builder Karmann. The Karmann Ghia was internally designated the Typ 14. In 1961, Volkswagen introduced the Typ 34, a variant based on the newly introduced Type 3 platform and featuring angular bodywork. Production doubled soon after its introduction, becoming the car most imported into the U.S. More than 445,000 Karmann Ghias were produced in Germany over the car's production life, not including the Type 34 variant. Karmann Ghia Brazil produced 41,600 cars locally for South America between 1962 and 1975. American industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague included the Karmann Ghia in his list of the world's most beautifully designed products.

A T-bucket (or Bucket T) is a hot rod, based on a Ford Model T of the 1915 to 1927 era, but extensively modified. T-buckets were favorites for greasers. Model Ts were hot-rodded and customized from the 1920s on, but the T-bucket was specifically created and named by Norm Grabowski in the 1950s. This car was named Lightning Bug, better known as the Kookie Kar, after being redesigned by Grabowski and appearing in the TV show 77 Sunset Strip, driven by character Gerald "Kookie" Kookson. The exposure it gained led to numerous copies being built. A genuine T-bucket has the two-seater body of a Model T roadster (with or without the turtle deck or small pickup box), this "bucket"-shaped body shell giving the cars their name. A Model T-style radiator is usually fitted, and even these can sometimes be barely up to the task of cooling the large engines fitted. Windshields, when fitted, are vertical glass like the original Model T. Today, T-buckets remain common. They generally feature an enormous engine for the size and weight of the car, generally a V8, along with tough drivetrains to handle the power and large rear tires to apply that power to the road. The front wheels are often much narrower than the rear wheels, and are often motorcycle wheels.

On my way home from work on this punishingly cold Monday morning, I noticed the "Sister Bridges" were all lit up in red and green, presumably as a way of at least denoting or, at most celebrating Martin Luther King Day. Yes, it's cold as balls out there and yes, I'm only in scrubs, under my winter coat (and hat and gloves and neck warmer) but I felt compelled to stop for a few pics. I tried not to do the same-old, same-old so I present these two views. I know, I've done light trails by the bridges before, but I don't think I've done them on the Andy Warhol Bridge, the one most of the morning buses cross. It was much easier to get a light trail shot here than on the Clemente Bridge, which seems to be the bridge of choice for everyone else, save for a very infrequent bus. The second shot is more along the lines of what I had in mind when I decided that I wanted to capture - and show you all - the red and green lights on the bridges. Somehow, it doesn't look Christmasy to me while using red and green. Anyway, I'm tired and rambling. One causes the other to happen, so forgive this long, boring description. Have a great Monday and if you're in the USA, please, just do the best you can. :-)
Mt. Airy, NC claims to be the inspiration for the fictional town of Mayberry, from The Andy Griffith Show, Griffith's home town. Over the years, they've capitalized on that claim.
Making the Case
Andy Griffith starred as brilliant and lovable grumpy defense attorney Ben Matlock in the nine seasons of the Matlock television series from 1986 to 1995. The first six seasons of the popular series were filmed almost entirely in the Los Angeles area and aired on NBC-TV. Production moved to Wilmington, North Carolina in 1992 for the final three seasons, which aired on ABC-TV.
Andy involved many friends from throughout his career in the production of Matlock. From "The Andy Griffith Show", Don Knotts, Betty Lynn, Aneta Corsaut, and writer Everett Greenbaum each appeared as recurring characters. Other longtime friends from Mayberry and elsewhere also made guest appearances or worked behind the scenes in the production of the series. "The Hunting Party", a two-part series in 1989, even brought production to Roanoke Island, North Carolina, where filming locations included the Waterside Theatre, home of The Lost Colony.
Though Matlock is primarily a courtroom whodunit drama, as the series progressed, Andy increasingly found ways to insert touches of humor and, whenever possible, to include musical performances. Not to mention having Ben Matlock eat all those hot dogs! Andy became involved in the writing the show to such an extent that he took on the mantle of executive story editor in 1991 and was later admitted into the Writers Guild of America, which Andy considered to be one of his most satisfying professional achievements.
With the success of Matlock, Andy Griffith, over a remarkable span of thirty-five years, became one of the rare actors who played the lead character in two of the longest-running and most-beloved shows in television history.
The defense has rested its case, the jury is back, and they have returned a unanimous verdict that, whether wearing a khaki Sheriff's uniform of a frumpy gray suit, Andy Griffith is indeed a beloved American icon!

‧ Front and center - the narrative as included above
‧ Matlock's iconic suit - one of several used by Andy during his betrayal of Ben Matlock and donated by Cindi & Andy Griffith

It is a popular destination for tourists and photographers on account of the historic buildings, the herds of bison, and the spectacular Teton Range rising in the background. The alluvial soil to the east of Blacktail Butte was more suitable than most locations in Jackson Hole for farming, somewhat hampered by a lack of readily available water. The Mormon homesteaders began to arrive in the 1890s from Idaho, creating a community called "Gros Ventre", with a total of 27 homesteads. The Mormon settlers tended to create clustered communities, in contrast to the isolated homesteads more typical of Jackson Hole.

An old cop car with the fictional TV town of Mayberry sits on a lot outside of Italy, Texas. I doubt this actual vehicle was on the Andy Griffith show, but it is an authentic 1960 Ford Fairlane police cruiser.
Andy grew up in this house in Mt' Airy, NC. It is just down the street from where he went to church and the school site with the still standing auditorium that bears his name. It must have been a great childhood to produce the memories that would eventually be the heart of TAGS. Many of the episodes where based in real and in part on actual occurances from his youth.
Several bridges in the "City of Bridges" taken from the Allegheny Riverwalk near the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, looking up-river, away for the downtown area of the city.
The first bridge is a railroad bridge close to 11th Street and the Convention Center. Beyond it is the Veteran's Bridge (also route 579) and behind it, the David McCullough Bridge (formerly the 16th Street Bridge.) The last bridge that is easily viewable is the 31st Street Bridge. Beyond that is the 40th Street Bridge or Washington Crossing which is named for Washington's first visit to the area when he was only 21. (For about 10 years, I lived 3 blocks from that bridge.)
There are 4 bridges below these on the Allegheny River, The Duquesne Bridge, the Roberto Clemente Bridge, The Rachel Carson Bridge, and the Andy Warhol Bridge.
Here is the story of Washington's trip to Pittsburgh:
Washington volunteered to do frontier diplomacy with the French, who were building forts in the western PA area.
Washington was a surveyor and a diplomatic messenger. After meeting with natives and residents of this wild territory, he and a small group set off in wretched November weather toward Erie. The French weren’t intimidated by this young colonial major with his message from the British powers.
On his way back in late December — with poor weather and horses in sad shape — Washington tried to cross the icy Allegheny on a crude raft. The raft didn’t make it. Floundering in frigid waters, he and another man swam to a now-vanished island near what is currently the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh, and lived to tell the tale.
Washington reported to Lt. Gov. Robert Dinwiddie of Virginia, who surprised the young surveyor by having “The Journal Of Major George Washington” printed for the public. It was widely read, and his engaging tale of travel, diplomacy and adventure did more to make the young man a noted leader than any legendary cherry tree.

The Andy Warhol polaroid/photo exhibit at SUNY, Albany. Didn't do it for me, but the first floor had fantastic B&W shots.
aint that the cutest frog you ever did see? doing photo downloads whilst listening to the andy griffin show on t.v. is dangerous.
The Andy Warhol and Rachel Carson Bridges. I forget the name of the (dark colored) railroad bridge in the background. I guess I need to "do my research, bro!"
Back in the autumn I attended the Andy Goldsworthy exhibition in the RSA (Royal Scottish Academy) on the Mound. As Andy famously works with found material much of the time and generally on location, it was a challenge to have an indoors exhibition of his work, so there is a real outdoors-inside feeling to a lot of it.
I snapped a few quick pics and videos with the phone as I walked around the RSA, and somehow have totally forgotten to upload them here, so making up for that now! I think my favourite part was the long room filled with the found branches, making a sorrt of processional avenue you could walk down. It reminded me of something from our pagan past crossed with modern folk-horror tales.
The Roberto Clemente Bridge is on the right and the Andy Warhol Bridge is on the left. Repairs on the Roberto Clemente are expected to be complete in December 2023.

A stuffed lion stands on a dolly tucked away in the staff library of the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. The lion can easily be rolled around the museum. The trick is to silently roll it in while an unsuspecting staff member is looking in another direction, such as when they are preparing their lunch or looking for a book in a quiet library. When the person turns around is when the show begins.
The Andy Warhol Bridge, also known as the Seventh Street Bridge, spans over the Allegheny River linking downtown Pittsburgh with North Shore.
It was a rainy morning, but I was heading indoors to the Andy Warhol Museum.
Visiting The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh
Big Torn Campbell's Soup Can (Pepper Pot), 1962

I visited The Andy Warhol museum because other than his iconic works of Campbell's soup, Marilyn Monroe and Chairman Mao images, I knew very little about the pop artist.
Back in the autumn I attended the Andy Goldsworthy exhibition in the RSA (Royal Scottish Academy) on the Mound. As Andy famously works with found material much of the time and generally on location, it was a challenge to have an indoors exhibition of his work, so there is a real outdoors-inside feeling to a lot of it.
I snapped a few quick pics and videos with the phone as I walked around the RSA, and somehow have totally forgotten to upload them here, so making up for that now!

Not sure if you've had enough of these kites, but the light was so good the day I went to Nant yr Arian I can't help posting another one! There were nearly always two or more birds coming down for meat on the water which made for untidy pictures, but in this instance I thought it worked in the composition as well as showing the behaviour.
I read a review of the 7D MkII the other day, written by Andy Rouse, and in it I learnt something useful that I hadn't known before and which applies to all Canon (and maybe other) cameras. I'll mention it here in case its useful to anyone: The default Picture Style is Standard, and I've always left it on that with all the cameras I've had, but he points out that this style sharpens the whole picture slightly even when you're shooting raw. If you choose the Faithful Picture Style it won't do that. Its useful because you will probably want to selectively sharpen your images rather than sharpen across the board, so you can leave the background nice and smooth…. I've immediately changed my settings, but I haven't taken any pictures yet, since changing it!!
Because there is some doubt about what I've said above about Picture Styles, this is the quote from the Andy Rouse article:
"Now a little about the processing. It was shot with a "Faithful" picture style which applies 0 sharpening. This is a really really important point and you need to understand its significance. If you set the style as " Standard" then sharpening is applied to the whole image. If you leave this untouched then the RAW converter, Canon's DPP in this case, will sharpen the RAW during processing to the same degree and you will get a TIFF that has been sharpened across the whole image. This means all the noisy bits have been sharpened too!!! Myself, and many pros like me, never ever ever do this. We sharpen only the bits of the image that need sharpening, i.e. the deer here. This means that I switch off all sharpening, by using "Faithful" and ensure that the RAW converter does the same at processing time. Then, when I am finished my colour correction in Photoshop I sharpen only the deer using Nik Sharpen on a layer. That way I avoid any background noise being sharpened. I have done this with every single camera I have ever used and I have applied it here to the 7D2 as well."
