All I Have is a Photograph....
With all the shelter at home stuff, thought I'd start a fun thread to help get our minds on better times. I am not a professional or high level amateur photographer, but I have taken some cool pictures over the years. If you've taken pictures that you're proud of, how bout posting a couple,and explaining what they are?
I'll Start: St. Louis July 2003. I was staying downtown in that beer can shaped hotel by the arch. I got a call around midnight that my mom was taken to ICU in Arkansas, and was in bad shape. I got up at dawn as the sun was rising over the Mississippi river. I took this picture looking east. Went to the chapel in the center and said a prayer for my parents. Mom got out of ICU 66 days later. Alley Springs, MO: From around 2002, near Eminence,MO. Hotel Bothwell, Sedalia,MO. Shot at sundown in downtown Sedalia. Desoto Sign, Carthage, MO. On a trip to Arkansas, took the scenic route 2018. Missouri Hwy 13 Bridge, Lexington, MO: Looking north during the flood of 1993. Last edited by gblowfish; 04-05-2020 at 08:12 PM.. |

Digging the bridge pic G-blow, you're speaking my language there, I could fill the thread with bridge pics.
I'll start with a few of my favorites... I actually climbed underneath the Deception Pass bridge in Washington state for this one. The wife was not amused, I think it was worth it. ![]() Next up, the incredible High Trestle Trail Bridge outside of Des Moines ![]() It's even better at night ![]() Lastly, the Bob Kerry Pedestrian Bridge in my hometown ![]() |

Oh, fun. Nice photographs so far. That bugeater bridge at night is pretty amazing.
I'm not a good photographer, so my best photos are about interesting subjects. Here's a fun one that I took inside Abu Simbel in Egypt, and a picture of me standing between the Colossi of Memnon on that same trip. And another one of the Great Pyramid. |

Those are old photographs from 2001, as I went a few months before 9/11. It's an astounding place. There's amazing ancient stuff everywhere. Our guide wasn't even going to stop at the Colossi of Memnon because we were on our way somewhere else. I had to ask for a quick stop and photo op.
I remember being at Saqqara and we went up on a little rise, and you could see pyramids in both directions along the Nile. There are a lot of pyramids. |

A few non-bridge pics...
My beloved Jeep Grand Cherokee with the backdrop of Grand Lake of the Cherokees at sunset. ![]() The Durango-Silverton railroad perched waaaaay up high on a cliff... ![]() The sun breaking through the clouds overlooking Sheridan, WY and the Big Horn mountains in the background. I fell in love with Wyoming on this evening. ![]() Last edited by Bugeater; 04-05-2020 at 10:35 PM.. |
