Wynwood Walls
The Wynwood Art District in Miami contains galleries, outdoor murals and private art collections. It was conceived in 2009 as a way to revitalize the neighborhood by turning warehouses into works of art. Formerly an industrial district, the area is now known for the murals that cover the walls of many of the buildings and much of the sidewalks. Wikipedia
This building contains an arts and crafts business. This mural, and all the art I saw in the area, was done using spray cans.
Window Art
It made walk over..so colorful, strong yet delicate.
Bellagio Hotel Ceiling
Designed by famous glass artist, Dale Chihuly.
Rock House
Near Lee's Ferry Arizona. Used as a place for travelers to stop way before there was a paved road in this area. I tried to find out how old it was with our success.
Havana
This really is a photograph. Sometimes street scenes look like paintings.
Silver Palms
Took this photo of palm trees against a cloudless blue sky using a black & white camera. I thought the effect was kind of nice, maybe more detail or without color maybe I just think I see more.
Artsy Fronds
B&W camera gives them a silver and black color with a grey white sky. I should walk around and shoot various palm types, pretty artsy, in my opinion.

State Fair
Wisconsin State Fair at night I will mount a camera on a tripod and as the ride is spinning I open the shutter for some random amount of time which in this case was 2 seconds. I never know what these will look like until I get home and see them on the computer.
Window to the past
Park Service restored home in Grafton Ut 1864-1921. Used in many movies including Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid.
Can’t you just hear the screams
State Fair...faster and faster it spins, pushing you farther out and up till it feels like you'll fly off into space......

Las Vegas street walking, looking for architectural photo ops with my B&W camera.
Flagler Rail Bridge
Used as a railroad bridge to Key West then converted to a highway bridge before being abandoned.

Virgin River crossing
In the background is Zion National Park which was carved by the Virgin river. Here in Rockville UT this very old bridge crosses the river. The surrounding area is very prone to flash flooding when rains fall north of the park.
Decay began in 1959
One of hundreds of buildings in Havana featuring incredible architectural detail.
Perfectly engineered illusion
Easy to photograph but impossible to get the full effect. This glass case was about a foot tall and 3 wide. The reflections and angles made it appear as if there were thousands of bottles in a space the size of a warehouse, seen from any angle.
High Above The Colorado River
Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge
Pat Tillman, an American football player who left his career with the Arizona Cardinals to enlist in the United States Army and was killed in Afghanistan in 2004 by friendly fire. It
is an arch bridge that spans the Colorado River between the of Arizona and Nevada. The bridge is located within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, and carries Interstate 11 and U.S. Route 93 over the Colorado River. The bridge was the first concrete-steel composite arch bridge built in the United States, and incorporates the widest concrete arch in the Western Hemisphere. At 890 feet above the Colorado River, it is the second highest bridge in the United States after the Royal Gorge Bridge near Cañon City, Colorado, and is the world's highest concrete arch bridge.
I took this photo while standing on top of the Hoover Dam. Pedestrian access is provided over the bridge who wish to take in a different view of the nearby dam and river below, but the dam is not visible for those driving across it.

Milwaukee 3rd Ward
Old warehouse district near the river has some interesting architecture and masonry work. For many years this area was full of vacant buildings but now contains some of the cities most expensive condos and apartments.
Street Walking Las Vegas
Great city to walk around pointing a camera at odd things.
Spray Can Art
This 8x12 foot wall painting was done with spray cans. There is an area in Miami called Wynwood Walls which is covered in graffiti like this.
A favorite
Wonderful seafood, atmosphere and sign.
Camera Bump
While taking a photo of a ferris wheel at dusk, I bumped the camera which was, until this moment, very securely attached to a tripod to prevent any
movement. I think it’s one of the better shots I came home with. This new art form I will call Camera Bumping!
Bahia Honda
The Bahia Honda Rail Bridge is a derelict railroad bridge in the lower 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. After a replacement Bahia Honda Bridge was opened in 1972, two spans of the old bridge were removed for the safety of boaters. Wikipedia

Side of a building in Key West. I purposely shot it a little out of focus to make it all blend together.
Sometimes it’s photo worthy
Somewhere in California
Mallory Square
Walked past this really old tree in front of an old wall and happened to have my black & white camera with me. I was in an area of Key West called Old Town where people gather nightly to watch the sunsets.
the Calatrava
The Milwaukee Art Museum, often referred to as "the Calatrava", contains a movable, wing-like brise soleil that opens up for a wingspan of 217 feet during the day, folding over the tall, arched structure at night or during inclement weather. The pavilion received the 2004 Outstanding Structure Award from the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering. This iconic building, overlooking Lake Michigan contains over 25,000 pieces of artwork. Wikipedia

Godbe mill
An old silver-ore processing mill located in Pioche Nevada, the Godbe Mill was established in the 1920s and abandoned in the 1940s. It used a rather unique aerial tramway to transport the ore in buckets from the mine atop Treasure Hill to this processing plant where it was crushed and the silver extracted.
Roadside Art
Somewhere in Utah... I drove past maybe a mile or two, then turned around, got the camera out.......I simply had to.
At One Time
Another beautiful building wrapped in decay. I probably would not have noticed this building back in the 1950s.

This is very typical decay found just about everywhere in Havana. One can only imagine what this city looked like back in the 1950s.

Navajo Bridge
When it was first built, Navajo Bridge in AZ was the only place to cross the Colorado River for 600 miles. Prior to its completion in 1929, travelers between Utah and Arizona had to cross using Lee’s Ferry river crossing. Until the bridge was completed, there was no direct route between Utah and Arizona and travelers had to trek hundreds of miles around the canyon to cross the River.
Stay tuned
Walking through an area of abandoned warehouses, factories and grain storage near the Milwaukee River. I'm sure in years to come it will be condos, restaurants and shopping.

Glen Canyon Dam
Glen Canyon Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam on the Colorado River in northern Arizona near the town of Page. The 710-foot high dam was built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation from 1956 to 1966 and forms Lake Powell, one of the largest man-made reservoirs in the U.S.
Look up
I do a lot of that while in Chicago.
Still Video
While taking a night photo of an amusement ride which requires a rock steady tripod, sometimes I'll purposely move the camera to see what it will see.
Nevada Forgotten
Sometimes black & white works well and some photos just need color. This one was taken in both but the lack of color makes for better edges.
And here it shall remain
At least someone mows around it.
Out walking
on some side street in Las Vegas and came upon these 3 doors of an abandoned building. They were so wonderfully vandalized it looked to me as there was some plan. For a while this was printed and hanging in my house.
Hay Art

Spinning Dream
This is the 1,004 foot Carnival Dream cruise ship as it makes a 180 degree turn to depart the Key West harbor. I set the camera and waited for the ship to untie, move away from the dock and begin turning. I opened the cameras shutter for about 5 minutes until it stopped turning.
It’s an odd thing to photograph
But I can't help myself sometimes...usually
Silver Mine
Pioche NV has lots of abandoned mines. The building contained the machinery to lift the ore up the shaft that is at the base of the wooden structure. I am always very careful where I step anywhere near these things.

Pioche Nevada
On the site of an old ore processing plant established in 1891 that's been closed for about 45 years. The mill is intact and very interesting to photograph. This is just one of a few outbuildings on the property.
Lift Engine
Used to lift the ore cart up the mine shaft. This is an old silver mine in Pioche Nevada. These old mines are pretty spooky to explore, have to be very very careful.

I really like photographing old vehicles.

Navajo Bridge
Navajo Bridge is the name of each of a pair of steel spandrel arch bridges that cross the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon National Park (near Lees Ferry) in northern Coconino County, Arizona. The newer bridge of the pair carries vehicular traffic on U.S. Route 89A over Marble Canyon between Bitter Springs and Jacob Lake, allowing travel into a remote region north of the Colorado River including the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.
The dual spans of Navajo Bridge are tied at ninth place among the highest bridges in the United States with nearly identical heights of 467 feet for the original span, and 470 feet for the second span.
Pawn shop wall art
Nicely decorated wall of the parking lot. The Stratosphere hotel, my walking destination, towers over it.
Waiting for a train
There's something in photography called "leading lines" that if captured should lead your eyes into the photo causing interest. I took it in color but I converted it to B&W because the color seemed to get in the way.
Alley Art
A couple areas of Las Vegas have alleys that attract graffiti. Some art is very well done while others is as they say, in the eye of the beholder.
Las Vegas Neon Museum
Once a month they open and light up the yard for photographers. It is a beautiful place offering very colorful night camera fun, which one can say about a large portion of Las Vegas.
Anyway, here is what their website has to say about the museum: Founded in 1996, The Neon Museum is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to collecting, preserving, studying, and exhibiting iconic Las Vegas signs for educational, historic, arts and cultural enrichment.

Walking around Chicago with my camera is the best. Sharp lines, the glass reflecting what cannot be seen and morning light combined with shadows brings it all together.
New and Old
Daylily outside an 1800s home in Wisconsin. I walked up to this window thinking I was going to take a photo of what was behind me in some very old wavy glass but it was in the shade. The flower was lit nicely so it seemed to work against the drab old wooden building.
Milwaukee Architecture
The Mitchell Building is an ornate five-story bank and insurance building designed by E. Townsend Mix in Second Empire French style and built in 1876 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Wikipedia
