Central Park In The Summer

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.

Canonsburg Lake Sunset

I know, I know…..another boring sunset picture.  I realize you’re getting bored of these.  Please stick with me, even when I post boring stuff like this. 


I took this 7 exposure auto-bracketed HDR photo last night.  We had a very strong rainstorm run through the area about dinnertime last night.  Following that, it looked like we’d have a nice evening.  So I threw my stuff in the truck and drove up the road to capture this photo and just watch the sun go down.

New Orleans City Park

MJ and I took the trolley north of the Bourbon Street to go find New Orleans City Park.  We spent some time walking around this very large park (larger then NYC’s Central Park).  It was a nice day, nice weather, and very pretty park.

Palace of Fine Arts

This cool looking structure was built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in the marina area of San Francisco.  It was one of several structures built for this exhibit and the only one to not be destroyed afterward.   Some local citizens formed a group to save it.  It has been renovated a few times over the years and has a city park with a pond around it making it a very cool location.  It’s popular for weddings and I can see why.  As a “temporary” structure only meant for displaying art during the 1915 exposition, it is a timeless classic for the city of San Francisco.

Puerto Rico Swan

I know my blog descriptions are very lame most of the time.  I am much better at taking the photos, then I am at naming them.  Today’s photo is of a very friendly swan from the Hilton hotel in Old San Juan.  This thing came so close to me, I thought it might touch me at one point. 

Photo Technique: 

This is a single exposure taken hand held and tone mapped via Photomatix Pro.
