SmugMug > popular today > Bridge Reflections I captured this while my wife & I were out for a walk. I loved the reflections on the water and the serenity of feeling this shot gave me. I really liked the feel of this shot. We were on one of the overlooks on the lake taking this shot. I am on the road for the next 2 day so I will be late getting comments till I return. I hope to catch some when I get to the office today, but tomorrow we leave at 4AM so I expect it will be late Friday when I catchup with folks. Have a great day, hope you are not getting soaked like we are. Not looking forward to my 3 hr road trip

SmugMug > popular today > Megastructure Series: The Cape of all things View in X2 HAND HELD The following from www.fifa.com, edited by me to update and shorten: Cape Town has built a new stadium for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. The stadium is in the suburb of Green Point, about 5 minutes from the city centre and nestled beneath Signal Hill and Table Mountain. Fans will be a stone's throw from the ocean and the mountains of Cape Town will be the backdrop for matches. The location is ideal as it is a short walk from the transportation hub of the city. Upon completion, the stadium will have a gross seating capacity of 70,000 and it is scheduled for completion by 2009. The 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa has offered the city the opportunity to build a multi-purpose international stadium that will be used for a variety of events after the tournament has left Cape Town's shores.
SmugMug > popular today > 11/12/09 - The Leaf This is what a mom, well this mom, does while her children run around the playground equipment at Lake Wheeler Park. I took the same shot last year: http://fotomom.smugmug.com/Nature/Fall-Leaves/6501064_YDqtV#412930614_saNcC And, here's another shot from this year with the leaf flipped the other, right, way. http://fotomom.smugmug.com/Nature/November-2009/10198920_oRbHf#709565965_k2nGi I'll probably try again next year too. It's close to how I envision, but not quite. I noticed yesterday when looking at my list of most popular photos that some of you wonderful people have gone into my older galleries and left me comments:-) I was just delighted. Thank you... 2007 was the year of the sunset here. Haven't seen anything like that since. Last year was a good leaf year. I'm wondering if maybe this year could be a good snow year? Hope so! Still quite blustery here from Ida. HAGD, Maryann
SmugMug > popular today > 61/365. My Favorite Veteran. I think this picture was taken the Spring of 1999 at the ceremony presenting my grandfather with the French Medal of Honor. At that time my grandfather was the YOUNGEST surviving WW1 soldier to receive it. He was 98-years old. At the age of 17, he ran away from home to enlist in the Army and serve in WW1. When his mother found out, she gave in and signed his enlistment papers. He got to France at the very end of the war and was always disappointed that he did not fight. He was, however, on guard duty one night and stopped a caravan of cars. The driver told him who was in the cars and said they were on their way to Paris to sign the Armistice Agreement. My grandfather waved them past and saluted until the last of the cars had passed. A week before his 100th birthday, my dad told Grandpa Floyd that many of the family members, friends and the news were coming to celebrate his birthday. Grandpa replied, "I am not going." My dad said that he had to attend his own party. On May 19th, 2001, my grandfather passed away peacefully, 2-days short of turning 100. His big party, became his funeral. Here in the States I am not sure how many WW1 vets are still living. We may be down to just one. I use to receive regular updates from Col. Johnson and have not heard from him lately. It was an honor to have the French government give my grandfather the Medal of Honor and make him a Chevalier (sp?). Our WW2 vets are also quickly dying away and I would like to see them, also, receive that same honor. My grandfather was a cold,distant man. Hardworking. Silent. He golfed until he was in his 90's. A favorite story about Grandpa Floyd..... he was an excellent golfer and several private clubs in Southern Calif let him golf for free and/or would call him when they needed to complete a 4-some.... he showed up at one of those courses and was told they had a lone golfer. Would Floyd like to go out with this gentleman. He was willing. The man introduced himself as Duke. After the game, the Golf pro asked how my grandfather had enjoyed golfing with John Wayne. Grandpa said, "John Wayne? He introduced himself as Duke."

SmugMug > popular today > Four Chairs Video DailyPhotos 11-12-2009 A while back, I put together this slide show video about processing this HDR image. It was originally in DVD format. I decided to reformat it in AVI and upload it to SmugMug. I hope you have as much fun watching this as I had creating it. I just really enjoyed playing around with this and exploring different ways to present this shot in this video. Simply click on the arrow center picture and the video will self-start in a few seconds.

Bridge Reflections
I captured this while my wife & I were out for a walk. I loved the reflections on the water and the serenity of feeling this shot gave me. I really liked the feel of this shot. We were on one of the overlooks on the lake taking this shot.
I am on the road for the next 2 day so I will be late getting comments till I return. I hope to catch some when I get to the office today, but tomorrow we leave at 4AM so I expect it will be late Friday when I catchup with folks.

Have a great day, hope you are not getting soaked like we are. Not looking forward to my 3 hr road trip
