Pripyat Train Bridge

This is the bridge our train crossed going back and forth to Chernobyl every day.  Towards the end of the week, we went to this spot to photograph the bridge with the Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor Number 4 and its new sarcophagus in the background.  As you can tell, it was very overcast that afternoon…..

Rail To Trail Sunset

A few weeks ago, I borrowed a bike from a friend so that I could cover some serious ground on the Montour Trail.  My goal was to capture as many fall photos on this trail as I could before the sunset. 

This photo was taken from a large bridge that crosses Chartiers Creek and runs past Valleybrook Golf Course in Washington County PA.  I liked the combination of the trail (leading lines), the golf course and the sunset.  What do you think?

Pioneer Square Station

During my time in Seattle, I had a packed photography agenda covering lots of the city and the surrounding area.  One of the planned locations was the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel station called Pioneer Square Station.  I arrived at this location at around 11pm and the place was basically empty.  The station is huge, so the 20 homeless people, 5 police and I had lots of room to avoid each other.  Although, I’ll admit that 3 different police officers stopped me for taking photos.  I thought that was interesting since the homeless can live in the station, but photographing the facility apparently isn’t allowed.

Anyway, this station handles the Sound Transit Central Link light rail trains, Sound Transit buses and King County Metro buses.  It is completely underground with entrances at the corners.  I don’t know about you, but I think there is beauty in the design of this station.
