Hot Air Affair

Hudson Wisconsin this weekend had the Ballooners parade thru town and let off some hot air.....it's five below zero and snowing.

A six second exposure, my fingers are frozen.

From here we went to the shoreline to watch the fireworks over the frozen river.

Happy Monday, thanks for your comment.

Milling Around

Rising quickly over a horizon of fall foliage the sun reflects the forest of of color that surrounds Dells Millpond as Bridge Creek flows across the dam. The aroma of hickory bacon frying on the millers stove escapes the open windows of the Mill while the hound bays he has treed the raccoon where the river enters the millpond just a short distance away. The bald eagle circles above as I sip my last swig of coffee, i'm amazed that the algae has formed an image of an Indian crossing the pond below the dam.

Submitting this to the state DNR photo and writing contest.

Have a great day, please leave me a comment, let me know your thoughts.

Scenic Silos

These banners are hung on the side of a now closed grain elevator just southwest of downtown Omaha Nebraska. The banners are about a hundred feet long by twenty feet wide. 

Happy Birthday goes out to my brother Tom today.

It took me a bit to process this, quite a challenging place to shoot. Please let me know if i'm on the right track, leave me a comment.

Holy Mackerel

Thanks again go out to the staff at St.Cecelia Cathedral in Omaha Nebraska for allowing the Omaha Camera Club access to all those wonderful flower displays during the Flower Festival last weekend.

I thought the rays of sun on yesterdays Image I call "Snake pit" were cool too. The sun is there only about a week then it's to many degrees above the horizon and is cut off by the road above......cool huh.

Please leave me a comment let me know how this looks.

Snake Pit

Found this on a bridge abutment next to the police department. The railroad tracks run just on the other side, I am looking for an easy way to get to an old trestle up the tracks a piece.....Heavily posted and being in broad daylight I curbed my thirst for the ultimate Union Pacific Railroad shot for the day....I'll be back!

Thanks for the wonderful comments on the Image I call "Idle Time" we were down on the riverfront that was flooded by the Missouri River a year ago to see how the area reclamation and rehabilitation is coming along, we saw some good progress. Omaha is a railroad town and I actively hunt for railroad images out and about the area, so more to come.

What.....no dad crop, twice in three days! 

Make it a great week....what Image are you hunting for?

Please leave me a comment, thanks!

Decorated Dumpster

Some of the local graffiti here in Omaha Nebraska. Our midwest town all but promotes these in certain areas so that the city can call it urban art and even has a contest each year to find the best people. Some of the locations are known as art centers.....this happens to be a test wall outside one of the firms that does them for hire. While most are interesting to look at the messages sometimes can be deplorable and or graphic in nature.

Single shot dad crop for y'all!

Thanks for the great comments on my Image I call "Changing Time" yesterday, that was quite a storm that blew in and turned those windmills of western Nebraska around.

Its Friday,Yea! Thanks for letting me know your thoughts on this Image, have a great day.

Changing Time

A cold front approaches from the North.

Western Nebraska almost as far away from Omaha as you can get and still be in the State.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments on the Image I call "National Flight" the gondola of those three balloons carried more people than the others that flew that day combined.

Single shot Image......ah The Good Life!

Its all downhill from here, this week is going by so quick.....Nisha will be back home today with more exciting stories! Thanks for your comments on my dad crops!
