Interesting Inventory
Street Walking is always full of surprises. Had this store been open I certainly would have gone in to see what other treasures it offered.
On A Walk
Slow walking with a camera in hand can yield some, in my opinion, interesting stuff.
Thing along a road
Driving down a dirt road I come across a fence and 5 or 6 things. I pull over, take photographs of a couple and continue towards my destination.
Security Guard
I like to walk around the ocean side of the Boca Chica Naval Air Station in the Keys to photograph birds, boats, coral, fighter jets if I'm lucky or whatever else catches my eye. I've never seen any obvious security devices or personal until this. Needless to say I carefully raised my camera to take this photo and lived to share it with you.
Fremont to the Strip
Old downtown Las Vegas to the Strip has pretty much colorful everything.
Kiss Me
At a hot air balloon launch in WI the winds picked up while they were filling causing these two to lean sideways.
And….
If you happened to see the photo of the van with the kaleidoscope attached to the hood, this is what was on its roof.
Not entirely sure
Passing through some economically dead former mining town was this......
Because
I liked something about it...still do I guess.
Fence with locks
Walking down Fremont Street in an old section of Las Vegas
Lines, shadows and contrast
Walking down the street with my black & white camera I'm always looking for lines, shadows, contrast and maybe a story of some sort. With no color you need something else but when you see you see it in color so if you like that aspect of photography it makes it kind of fun. So a guy is walking down the street and finishes his beer.........
Family Outfit
If you want to blend in with the locals.
Free Flowers
Came upon this while driving on the causeway towards Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake of Utah
Buoyguy
The mustasch is the clue. Key West street walking seems to have an unlimited number of photo opportunities.
In what way?
Step Right Up & Win a Prize
Squirt gun guy and a couple fairgoers.
Guard Dog
The Shih Tzu is an Asian toy dog breed originating from Tibet. They are well-known for their largely fun and playful personality, and calm and friendly temperament. They are highly independent dogs, and are able to adapt well in different situations. That was per Wikipedia but, if there was no glass between us he surly would have eaten me.
Fire Lookout Tower
Jacob Lake Lookout Tower is located in North Kaibab AZ. Built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), it is an 80’ Aermotor steel tower with a 7’ x 7’ metal cab and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors can still climb the tower to view the area and see the Osborne Fire Finder.

Made me look

Manitowoc Lighthouse
Built in 1895. Rebuilt in 1918. Automated in 1971 is marks the entrance to the Manitowoc WI harbor on Lake Michigan.
Beautiful Sunset
A friend decided to modify my beautiful photo. I just wanted to see if you are paying attention.

Walking Old Town Key West
Hoover Dam
You are looking at the Colorado River as it exits the bottom of the dam after it has gone through the turbines on each side to generate electricity. I'm standing on the very top middle of the dam so Lake Meade is behind me.
Side Mirror Doubler
Caught my eye
Yes, it's a fist coming out of a pallet of mulch.
Period correct
Original 1800s farmhouse owned by the WI Historical Society
Snowman
As it was almost 70 degrees he didn't last long.
Rick’s
A bar on Duval Street sporting plenty of action. I took this around 6am on a walk around Key West one morning.
Boca Chica
People pick up things that floated ashore and decorate this old tree which though you can't tell, is just a few feet from the water.
Waiting for the gardener
Techatticup Gold Mine
April 1861, silver and some gold and copper lodes had been discovered by John Moss and others in what became known as El Dorado Canyon. In 1867, to secure the riverboat traffic and protect miners in the canyon from Paiute attacks the U.S. Army established Camp El Dorado, an outpost at the mouth of El Dorado Canyon that remained until it was abandoned in 1869. From 1870 the mines again were active to the point where from 1879 to 1907 El Dorado Canyon again had a post office, now in Clark County, Nevada. The mines continued to produce ore until World War. Wikipedia
So, the gentleman that owns the mine leads people on tours. When coming to one intersection of shafts you can just make out a skeleton in tattered clothes leaning against the rock wall. When I asked who that was he said "the first boy that dated my daughter" then he turned and kept walking.
The real deal
This guy in the junkyard office was saying we should be careful about the snakes. He mentioned rattlers and green vipers and I said green vipers were a new one on me. Walks over to the fridge, opens the freezer and takes one out to show me. I'm sure it was the corn dogs that convinced me it was picture worthy.
Not the best photo
But when I saw it I thought it was the perfect business model. I took this many years ago in St Martins, I think.

Dining Out
A classic
Porch Art
I like interesting porches as they entice us into the house to see what's behind the door and meet the dwellers.
Ahhhh
Waiting for a customer to crawl in
Butch Lived Here
Robert Leroy Parker, A.K.A. Butch Cassidy, lived here with his family from 1880 to around 1884. The door was locked but I found this broken pane.
A Walk In The Park
Hiking through Red Rock Canyon which is close to Las Vegas, I turned the corner and saw this. As I took a few photos others started showing up including photographers. When they finished I found out it was a photo shoot for these two brothers who were performing in Las Vegas.
To the bar
What the sign says. I liked the lighting.
Had to…
They say a picture is worth 1,000 words…but not always.
Rolling Art
Most rail art I see is, in my opinion, terrible but some is pretty good.
How could I not?
That is the Key West cemetery.....I had to take this photo and share it.
Barn Stuff
All I can say about this on is that it would make an interesting jigsaw puzzle.

Key West Cemetery
This is a 19 acre cemetery located in the Old Town area. It is estimated that as many as 100,000 people are buried here, many more than the 30,000 residents who currently live on the island.
In 1847 it was established at its current location after a 1846 hurricane washed remains from the earlier cemetery out of the coastal sand dunes. On June 24, 1976, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places..
