I captured this photo on our last trip to Michigan (October 2020). We visited a small handful of vineyards (all outdoor activities only at tables/chair sitting far apart) including this location. This specific winery had this unique view out the back of the building. The vineyard is called Hawthorne Vineyards, which sits on Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City.
Sky View
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a busy week. Thus, a short post for you tonight.
I took this photo during better times (pre-COVID). This is the US Steel building in downtown Pittsburgh. You can see the three rivers in the background.

Room With A View
I hope your weekend gets off to a great start. If you’re looking for a room with a view, how about this one? The price is right. I found this beauty in a local popular abandoned building when Theaterwiz and Bob came for a visit. This started as a dormitory and later served as a nursing facility.

Down View
Here is a unique perspective of the US Steel Building in Pittsburgh. We don’t normally see the world from these angles. I’ve taken a bunch of photos looking straight up buildings in the past. I haven’t taken many like this using the opposite perspective. I’m digging it.

Window With A View
What do you think of this photo? You know I like it or I wouldn’t post it for you tonight. But I’m curious, what all of you think about it. I took this photo from the upper floors of the abandoned hotel just outside of downtown Detroit last spring during our @motownurbex2018

Pool View
Today’s photo is from the Grand Bahia Principe Akumal near Tulum Mexico. As I shared with you before, the drone police (security guard) made me put it away. Apparently, it’s scary for everyone that a drone is flying 400 feet above their head. Well, I got tons of photos before he came over and this is one of the many beauties I captured.

Window With A View
This was a fun spot to explore and I loved these windows looking out at the Allegheny River. Unfortunately, the last time I went, we discovered that someone painted over the windows with graffiti. I normally love graffiti as an art form, but this artist didn’t have to cover these beautiful windows with it….. Ugh!! Well, at least I have my photos from before the graffiti.

View From The Renaissance Hotel
Brad, Dave, Blair and I were on photo walk in downtown Pittsburgh a while back. As you know from my past posts, we wandered into the Renaissance Hotel. The hotel management and staff were very nice to us. They even let us into an upper floor hotel room to capture this photograph. This building has some unique Pittsburgh views, including this one.

Arizona Desert
Today’s post is an aerial view looking straight down from a hot air balloon in the Arizona desert. Our balloon ride was very early in the morning and we floated over this campsite. What a peaceful ride in a beautiful part of the country.

Point Of View Statue
I was out two nights ago on a photo walk with Dave Truxell and Blair Ward. We spent some time at the top of Mount Washington looking down at the city of Pittsburgh. This status is of George Washington looking directly into the eyes of a Native American. I honestly don’t know the history of this statue. But I can appreciate it and its location.

Bar View
First, let me get this out of the way….. I know this isn’t a great photograph technically. The photography experts can point to all the problems with this photo. No need, I already know they exist.
Now, the reason I shared this photo was because of the great memories associated with this spot. This was the view from the beach side bar at the Secrets Silversands Resort in Puerto Morelos Mexico. I got up before the sun on numerous days to catch the sunrise. As you can tell, one of my favorite spots for watching the sunrise was from this bar. For the record, the bar wasn’t open at this time of the day…..so it wasn’t the drinks that made this a great sunrise spot.
