Hey y'all. I had no idea what the challenge was going to be but I got lucky 'cause I took a short road trip. 250 miles round trip lol. I haven't done anything to these photos except open them with camera raw, so I'm sure there is a lot that can be done to enhance them ... but I'm just too damn lazy to do it lol.
the whole way was this road
some beautiful scenery
ended up in this quaint little town
i love the architecture
some great old buildings
I just loved this willow tree
then home again lol great day

BMAC - Love that white building, The artwork is great great composition. Like them all
Annette - Love the photos especially the birds. I have yet to learn how to capture BIFs, everytime I snap birds flying they come out crappy. I was so mad last week because there was an eagle flying in circles around our house and I couldn't get a clear shot to save my life. That is the first eagle we have seen in this town ever. Glad to see you and hope everything goes smooth sailing for you considering your circumstances. Those pictures of your dad are excellent. He looks very happy.
Bushido - Excellent captures as always.

JFrank - Super shots they are all great. You captured them perfectly.
Dansmith - Like them all but that last one is incredible. Love the dramatic skies. I think in the first one I would have liked to see more of the building but that is just my opinion, you are the artist. It is great either way.

William - You are a maniac (in a good way) You are definately one of a kind in your work but you are a great artist. Everyday I look to see what other creations you come up with.

Aaronphoto - Love the cityscapes, the pano is great. I need to brush up on my skills so i can do Panos too.
Bushido - Nicely done the detail is great even for the B&W

Momma Pat A.K.A Maine Mom - Love victorians, our dream house design is based on the victorian floor plan with columns and a mix of gothic too. Did you consider creating and HDR effect with this? I think it will bring out a little more detail and color (Not saying it's bad, just for shadow sake). The AAA building is great too love the colors. The last one is fantastic!!

Jim - Love your Vermont photo
Judy - Even from a car you are quick on the draw! that photo is cool . New Haven is gorgeous and is on my bucket list (and my wifes) love how you framed the last one.
SueJay - like these youngsters would say OMG Love you first shot, I hope that is on your wall. Your photos are amazing. I love them all.
Jim - Sweet pictures. They always take the fun out of everything huh. Love old town.
Cherokee - Love the river excellent capture.
Joe - Great shots. The capital dome is fantastic!! You make Chicago look so good! Love the roadkill cafe!
Mary - Great series! Love that Mural

I like snow - it is the slush afterwards I can't abide - and the sneaky icy pavements too.....
Here are a couple taken when in Spain over the Christmas break and one from Devon of the Exe river reflections.

Thanks...I can't wait to take more cityscapes when I go on Alaskan cruise this summer. I go to Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Victoria BC and Seattle. I should take more pics of St. Louis. I'm a 45 minute train-ride away!
