Honoring World Trade

Words cannot describe a visit of this sacred ground, it’s gravity, nor the power of the memorials built to remind us.

NYC Top of the Rock

On a recent trip to “the city” with the best of friends and my son-in-law Evan, we checked out the view from the top of Rockefeller Center.   I had never been on the “top of the Rock” before, so this was a real treat.   There are several observation levels, but the very top is not blocked by panels of glass.  This made it the best vantage point for photographing, even though it was packed with people and was difficult to get a clean vantage point without obstructions.  Also, there were only a few platform spots that allowed for using my collapsed tripod.

These are my favorites.  We never received an “ah ha” moment of afternoon light, but clouds pleased and the textures of the buildings were great.  Looking north over Central Park was a bust, but southward was much better.

Midtown Walkabout

Recently my son-in-law Evan (@evan5ps, evan5ps.tumblr.com/, evan5ps.com,  led a photo walk in Midtown Atlanta near 14th Street and Peachtree.  Great turnout – 40-50 people.  So I joined up for a short bit and lavished in an hour or so of capturing street images at dusk while Katie kept me company.  Enjoy!

2 More from Big Cypress

One day I hope to get my timing right and land a few real thunderhead “winners” from the Everglades like Clyde Butcher.  But, we do not have the luxury of controlling mother nature.  Clouds were ever changing and impressive while Carl and I were there in August.  We made the most of what was given us, though shy of great light and a “wow” moment.  Here are a couple more, illustrating the brewing clouds and grassy textures.
