I must admit that I rarely watch videos online that last more then 30 seconds. So, I don’t know how attractive this will be for you since it is well over 30 seconds long. Regardless, here is a compilation of drone footage I took on our last trip to Cancun Mexico. It took me months just to get around to editing the video, but here you go.
During our recent trip, we had a great few days in Budapest Hungary. This is a wonderful city. One of our stops around the city was this amazing market. You could buy just about anything you want and the place was packed with people. The building was completed in 1897.

This is one of my favorite spots in Detroit. The Michigan Central Station in the background is a wonderful spot. The evening I took this photo, my group had 5 drones flying around at the same time (which was interesting)…. More importantly, the sky was magical that night to help make this photo special.

I haven’t posted a Detroit photo in a while, so here we go. We had a hit list of Detroit Urbex locations to hit up, but we also explored some sites that we randomly found, just driving around. That’s the story of this spot. We went to the Michigan Central Station (the building outside the window) to photograph the area around it. During that time, we found this abandoned beauty with great views like this photo. I took a bunch of window photos like this one at this spot.

Why can’t every city have a cool library like this? Seattle has it going on when it comes to library building design! This ultra-contemporary glass and metal structure is awesome inside and out. If your ever in the Emerald City, make this one of your stops. It’s worth checking out.

While we were exploring Detroit, I captured this video of this church steeple with the Michigan Central Station in the background via my drone. Is this interesting or the most boring video of all time?
As I currently sit at home and watch it rain outside (by the way it’s also cold out there), I wish I was in a warmer spot. I want to be back to this spot….. warm, relaxing, fun, beautiful. But I’m not. So, I’ll have to enjoy the photo and remember what it felt like to be at this location.

I took this photo of “The Lake” in Central Park during our last visit to NYC. This specific spot is just to the west of the Bow Bridge and Bethesda Fountain. I had to sit here for what seemed like forever to capture this photo without a bunch of pedestrians on the path. I like the Eldorado towers sticking up over the trees on the left side of the photo as a reminder that this quiet spot is in the heart of Manhattan.

MJ and I had a great trip to New York City. The weather was nice, the people were polite and the attractions are always outstanding. Like normal, we packed a ton of activities into a short stay, but it was worth it. On the first night, I got really lucky while I was out photographing Grand Central Station.
I was lined up in the middle of the road shooting right down Park Avenue towards the terminal trying to get a photo without too much traffic or people….. And the City of New York decided to help me out. At that moment, they parked a construction vehicle in the middle of the road to block all traffic just for me (or to start some construction). Anyway, that meant I had full use of the street all to myself. I could take my time. Shoot from different angles. Not worry about being run over by a taxi. It was great. Plus I met a Russian (now a U.S. citizen) who was photographing the same area. Great first night in the big apple.
So I got this great photo and you get to see it.

On the 4th floor of the Seattle Central Library, the entire hallway is this bright red (floors, ceilings, walls, etc…). Off this hallway are conference rooms, classrooms, and offices. The red is a large contrast to the blues, metal, and glass that dominates the rest of the library.

Here is another shot of the Seattle Central Library. I posted another photo of this building back in March. You can see it here:

This building is so weird. I don’t even know how to describe it. When I looked it up later, the architect couldn’t even put a specific design style on this structure. Maybe modern contemporary is the best way to describe it. There are lots of funky angles, bright colors, unusual spaces. Around every corner, the building design changes to the point that they don’t even go together. So I felt like I was in a different building when I changed areas within the building, instead of one continuous building. So my take on this building is that it fits the Seattle culture.
I took this photo from the 4th floor balcony looking out at the building support structure and the diamond shaped glass exterior wall. Like I said, funky!!!
If you ever get to Seattle, check this place out.

This facility is the flagship library of the Seattle Public Library system. It is an 11-story glass and steel building that opened in 2004 with over 362,000 square feet. It can hold over 1.45 million books, has an underground parking for 143 vehicles and has over 400 public computers. I was one of over 2 million visitors in 2014 to this very modern looking building. On the day I visited, the place was packed with people using every area of the building. I’ll have to post more photos of this facility later, because it is so unique….just totally different from anything you’ve probably ever seen.

The iconic must see spot
in midtown Manhattan. The
authorities don’t like the use of tripods within the terminal, so I had to be
quick. I also didn’t extend my
tripod legs completely. I setup my
tripod on the banister to get it elevated and avoid extending it. I hope you like the photo.
