Bahia Honda Railway Bridge

It is a derelict bridge in the Florida Keys connecting Bahia Honda Key with Spanish Harbor Key. It was originally part of the Overseas Railway, but the state of Florida purchased it from the Florida East Coast Railway after the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane and converted it for automobile use as part of the Overseas Highway in 1938. A replacement Bahia Honda Bridge, off to the right was opened in 1972.

1929 D-25 New Standard

Taken in Brodhead WI where there is a wonderful museum featuring a collection of antique aircraft. Every time I visit I'm reminded of the movie Field of Dreams. While visiting I was graciously invited to go up for a ride in this beautifully restored barnstormer. The pilot sits in back and there is room for 3 passengers in the front. While flying along you have a spectacular view of the countryside while directly in front of you is a placard which says No Dancing.

A Happy Guy In An Alley

While looking for photo opportunities in a Las Vegas alley (yes, we do that) we came across this obviously happy and probably homeless man. When I asked him if I could take his picture he sat down with his phone and gave a big smile. He then stood up still smiling, thanked us profusely and walked away.

Walking with a camera one night

St George Blvd laid out by Brigham Young with the establishment of the town in 1861. It was centrally located in SW Utah near California, Nevada and Arizona. Like today, it attracted visitors wanting to see the State and National Parks. Walking down "The Boulevard" as they call it, you see a mix of the old and the new. This burger joint closed last year leaving a photo worthy unlit neon sign.

Key West Porch

I walk or ride a bike everywhere in Key West. When I walk I usually carry a small camera. In what is called Old Town most homes sit close to the sidewalk on very narrow lots so front porches are the dominant feature. To me they all tell a story or just give a hint to what you'll find on the inside.

Double Color

It didn't look like much at first but when I saw the clouds slide off to the right exposing some sunlit pinks and reds I grabbed my stuff and headed out to the shore to wait. So often the moving clouds combine with a rising sun and the dawn colors quickly get brighter. To capture this I left the camera shutter open for about 15 seconds as it was still quite dark out. This allows the light to accumulate on the camera sensor not only making the photo brighter and the colors deeper but it also makes the water look smoother which like a mirror doubles the effect.
