MJ and I are heading to Manhattan soon for a short trip. I’ll get some work in and some fun in (via photography, site seeing & great food).
That upcoming trip had me thinking about our last Manhattan trip. Therefore, this photo of One World Trade Center from that trip.

This little village in Austria was very cute. Unfortunately, nothing was open during our stop, but we had a good time walking around anyway. Since we had some time left over before our boat left, I took some photos with the drone. I loved how colorful the village is and the rain in the distance. By the way, our river cruise ship via Gate 1 Travel was great.

I haven’t shared a photo from South Africa lately, so you’ll get one today. This guy tried to sneak through the bush without us seeing him, but we caught him in the act and I got this great photo. He’s an amazing and beautiful animal.

Well like normal, the Detroit Lions are at home again during the playoffs. I have no idea what Matthew is doing in the off season, but I hope the Lions are preparing to perform better next year.
I took this photo last October prior to the Lions vs. Steelers game. I thought it was interesting that they had a radio broadcast playing (very loudly) throughout the stadium when I took this photo. The radio announcers were very critical of Matthew’s last performance. It had to be tough listening to that negative feedback while he tried to prepare and warm up for the game later that day. I don’t think I could have ignored it if I was in his shoes.

Well, it’s Thanksgiving holiday in the United States today. I’m thankful for a number of things….
My wife, son, life, work, the Neighbors (you know who you are and you know why), peers, my health, my parents, in-laws, extended family, friends, photo friends and of course the Detroit Lions. Why am I thankful for the Lions? Good questions, for which I have no real answer. Maybe because I grew up watching them… Maybe it’s the fact they give Lions fans hope every year and for which they never deliver on….. I don’t know, but I am thankful for them. What can I say, they’re my team.
So here is a photo of Ameer Abdullah, starting running back. He’s been with the Lions for 3 years after leaving the University of Nebraska. Hopefully, he'll score 4 touchdowns today.

I’m super tired tonight. So I’ll keep this short. Tonight’s photo is another from our South Africa trip. I took this in Kruger National Park. This guy was fairly close to use, but he kept playing hide and seek behind a big bush.

This is a photo of the No. 1 Scale Hopper at the abandoned Overholt Distillery outside of Pittsburgh. This was a great site to explore and photograph.

During our last night in NYC, MJ and I went to the Top Of
The Rock Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center. Rockeller Center isn’t the tallest building in NYC and isn’t
the only observation deck, but it is the one with the best view of the entire
city (including an amazing view of Central Park). This is looking south toward the Empire State Building. In the background to the right, you can
also see One World Trade Center being built at the World Trade Center Memorial
site. Now that One World Trade
Center is almost done, the Empire State Building becomes the second tallest
building in the city.

Tonight’s photo is of a covered bridge in Mingo Park within Washington County PA. I took this about 3 weeks ago along with a few others. I was happy with many of them and will probably share a few more in the coming weeks.
