View from the top of the Chestnut Street Parking Garage.

 

Is the roof of the Chestnut Street Parking Garage being used to search for extraterrestrial life?

The International Space Station exits the Earth’s shadow.

The three bright stars arcing across the top half of the photo from left to right are Polaris (Alpha Ursae Minoris), Er Rai (Gamma Cephei), and Caph (Beta Cassiopeiae).

Deneb (near top of photo about half way from the left edge to the center), Vega (brightest star in the upper right quadrant), and Altair (lower edge left of center) together form the Summer Triangle. The Northern Cross runs diagonally from Deneb to Alberio (near center) and is embedded in the Milky Way.

Driving through Lancaster County farmland on MLK Day. Lots of clothes hanging out to dry on this Monday afternoon.

 

Same farm (zoomed in on and photoshopped).

 

This barn bears a striking resemblance to Senator Mitch McConnell.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Beth Sholom Synagogue in Elkins Park, PA.

This roof looks like it would leak, and it does. A Frank Lloyd Wright signature.

Taking pictures of a bike race in twilight conditions is not the easiest thing to do. Essentially I try not  to cause a crash, have my camera destroyed, or get killed.

 

Some bike race “fans” watch from the roof of Mas Mexicali Cantina.

July 2010.

These photos are from last year and represent my first serious attempt at photographing fireworks. Hopefully I learned of few things. This year I went on my motorcycle and enjoyed “VIP” parking and a rapid exit at the end (no camera, no tripod, no pressure). I just tried to enjoy the moment and think a little about how to photograph them next time.

Bubble geometry.

 

Bubbles in straw cube.

 

Cube like bubble.

 

Bubbles formed by regular tetrahedron.
