Gears

What do you think of this photo?  It’s one of those photos that I like but am not sure whether anyone else will like it or not. 

This pile of gears was inside the main building at Carrie Furnace.  I liked this perspective with all the gears going from the foreground to mid photo with the rest of the industrial building in the back ground.  Anyway… thoughts on this?

Inside Carrie Furnace

Per my normal routine, I’ve been hopping around processing photos from different trips, photo walks, locations, dates, etc…  Last weekend I was processing photos I took in 2016 from the Carrie Furnace.  That’s when I found this beauty waiting to be viewed.  This was inside the main building that supported the steel blast furnace.

Pittsburgh's Past

I’ve posted some photos from this spot, Carrie Furnace, in the past.  We got private access to this site and spent a few hours photographing it from multiple angles (inside and out).  I love the fact that they’re saving this for historical purposes.  All other steel mill site around Pittsburgh area already gone.

Carrie Furnace

I need to get out and take some photos soon.  I’m going through withdrawal and I don’t like it.  I enjoy processing photos, but its not even close to the happiness I feel when I’m out exploring an area and trying to capture it’s beauty with my camera.  The last photos I took were over a month ago…..  so sad…

By the way, I took this photo at the Carrie Furnace south of Pittsburgh.  This is part of the larger mechanical structure.  I sort of liked this perspective.

Carrie Furnace

As you all know, I process photos by jumping around.  I process a few photos from one location, then process a few from another location, then onto the next one, etc…  I never process photos in a linear way…I just get bored to easily.  So here is a photo I processed last night from a photo walk I did in 2016 at the Carrie Furnace south of Pittsburgh.

Industrial

Something different for you today.  I realize it is a NFL Sunday and I should probably post a football photo.  But the Steelers don’t play until late tonight.  So instead I’m posting this industrial photo from the Carrie Furnace.  This abandoned location is super cool.

Grist Mill

Today’s picture is of the Grist Mill in Babcock State Park in West Virginia. We planned this perfectly to capture the fall color change at this spot and of course, it didn’t work out.  As you can see, the color was changing, but we missed the peak fall foliage color.

Babcock State Park

I hope you’re having a great weekend.  I’m just taking it easy and enjoying some down time.  Today’s photo is from Babcock State Park in West Virginia.  Blair, MJ and I went down there last fall chasing the fall color change.  As you can see, we missed it.   But I got this great shot anyway.

Glade Creek Grist Mill

MJ, Blair and I went down to southern West Virginia to see this mill in Babcock State Park.  We were hoping for some good fall foliage and got a little of it.  But not full peak color.  We were probably a week to early.  Regardless, we had a good time and I enjoyed seeing this spot.

Another McConnells Mill State Park

Sorry about missing my normal rotation.  Tonight I have another photo from McConnells Mill State Park.  I took this a few weeks ago while on a photo walk with Brad and Dave.  It hasn’t warmed up much since then, but all the snow is now gone.

Special Note: A while back, I was contacted by Eric DeJesus who is taking classes down in Georgia.  He asked for permission to use one of my photos in his class.  He took my photo from Carnegie Music Hall and added the notes and violinist.  Here is the final product.

McConnells Mill State Park

I haven’t been out taking any photos lately and I’ve missed it.  So today, Dave, Brad and I went to McConnells Mill State Park in western Pennsylvania to capture some pics.  It was cold, snowy, and very very fun.  We spend hours hiking around the park, including a mile through the snow to Hell’s Hollow Falls.  I know a mile doesn’t seem like much, but trust me when I say it wasn’t an easy walk in the snow.  So tonight I am posting a picture from the photo walk.  This is the covered bridge near the old mill near the eastern side of the park.
