Behind the Fence, looking at the Hub Construction Project, from the Parking Lot of the Community Health Center in Meriden, CT USA. There seems to be an interesting haze in the air this morning as well, or maybe it's just dirt flying around.. This project is a huge undertaking by the city of Meriden and should be lovely when completed.

One of many old houses in Meriden. This one looks to be abandoned some time ago.
But this one looks like it was a fine house, with a delightful front porch on it. There is something appealing about these tattered, old, homes.

A beautiful 1941 Cadillac Fleetwood that I was in Wallingford, up in Ashler Village. I was looking around this lovely part of Masonicare, wondiering how much it would cost to have my Dad move there. From what I hear, it's awfly expensive. But, as I was driving through, I couldn't help but notice this Classic Cadillac. I've only seen a few that were this old. This one looks to be in fine shape. It also looks like it had been driven recently, which is awesome. I'm not a fan of trailer queens, that never see the street. If you osn a car as nice as this one is, you might as well get some enjoyment out of it. I'm not sure, but this model may have a 12 cylinder engine under the hood, or an awfly big 8. The car was very impressive, is all I can say.

This was some shot to take. In total darkness, lit by only the moon. I set my camera on a tripod and used manual to 30 second exposure, with the lens wide open at f./ 3.5. It was so dark out that I couldn't even see in my viewfinder. I turned off the auto focus, and set it on the lens for infinity. Then I opened my 18-55mm lens to 18mm(27), and set the shutter speed for 30, and set the lens wide open at ƒ/3.5, and hoped for the best.. I took this very early in the morning, before sunlight. and waited parientley for the 30 seconds to go by. What I saw on my screen was incredible, and brighter than I ever imagined posible.

At Hunter Golf Course in early June of 2014, I had a chance to take this picture on such a nice Summer day. This is the sign you see, when you leave the parking lot, and walk on to the course. Proper attiere, meaning no jeans and a collared shirt. This is our public golf course in Meriden, CT

This is a beautiful 1968 Pontiac Firebird, with the largest Engine option for that year. A Pontiac 400 c.i. with a 4 BBL. carburator. The base model was a 326, and they even made some V-6 models. But this one is a true Performance Pony Car. Taken at the Pontiac Car Show, back in May of 2015

On the brink of 2016/2017 it's done.
Project "Goliath" has ended successfully.
2017 will start with me 100% PC based. Weird feeling but the difference in speed is just bizarre and in all honesty #microsoft #windows10 is pretty stable.
I won't say I stay with the PC for ever. But for now it seems like the only sensible thing to do. Speed and price considering there is a lot of bang for your buck.
If you also consider the switch do realize that it's a totally different eco system. If you want plug and play forget it. You have to able to do some tweaking yourself with drivers and software but in the end of it runs it's relatively low maintenance.
But do (and I really stress this) do buy high-end components. Don't safe on PSU, mainboard, memory and Videocard. Actually don't save anywhere in the end you're still much cheaper than the step in Macpro ;)
I always told myself I would not mod my cases but this was just too much fun ;)
If there is interest I can do a complete rundown of software I'm now using and how I set it up.

I love how much thought went into the minute details of these older homes. this house was probably built in the early 1900s, and while it is rotting away, still has a certain beauty to it. Tamron Lens.

A nice shot of four Gourds, or Pumpkins, sitting on a stone wall. I thought the coposition was neat, with the green grass clumps growing behind the pumpkins. And the detail in the stone was a nice touch to what was looking for. Happy Halloween! 2015

On a very sunny January Day on the 9th of January 2016, I ended up taking lots of photos of this old heap. I'm sure she was nice in her day. I even know the owner, because we both drove classic cars around town, here in Meriden, CT. I had my '74 Riviera GS, and he had his Lemans from Pontiac. So, occasionally we would bump into each other and have a chat about our old cars, which were both running great, but the both of them werre showing sihns of age. Well we had a lot of fun, while it lasted, and before it became too expensive to keep them on the road.

The new Cumberland Farms, taken in March of 2015. After a long rebuild, they finally opened this state of the art filling station. Taken on Broad Street, in Meriden, CT. I think the building was built very tastefully, with some pleasing colors and dimentions.

A baby pumpkin, and what looks to be a gord, or a green colored pumpkin next to it. I took all these at around 10 a.m. on the 15th of October 2015. I added a very light vignette around this image as well.

The front end of a fire truck from 1931 from South Meriden Volunteer Fire Department. The crew spent many years to get this beautiful truck back to it's original condition. It looks superb. and, very RED. The photo was taken on September 14, 2014, on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

It was 5 a.m. and I went out on the back porch of the Beach House to have a cigarette and some coffee. I decided to take a self portrait at this early morning hour, while everyone lese is asleep. I'm such a night owl. I swear, I can stay up all night, but I pay for it the next day. I'm not sure why I dressed in a jacket on July 5th. I must have just woken up.

Last October, 15, 2015, I pulled over on Padock Ave. over to where the Church is, that sells all kinds of pumpkins for Halloween. Well, going back through my files I found another two images that I could stitch together, in Photoshop to make one image.
