Turkish Grand Bazaar

February 12, 2017

So….I’m sorry that I’ve been absent lately. MJ and I were on another badly needed adventure with our good friends (Kris and Scott). I’ll be the first to admit that I needed that time away and I had a great time. As far as trips go (for us) it was a very relaxed trip. Lots of naps, down time, sun, a few beers and just fun (no stress) activities.

We’ve traveled with Kris and Scott many times and they make it easy. We all get along, enjoy each other’s company and just go with the flow. I want to thank them and MJ for the wonderful trip.

Anyway, while we were in St. Thomas, Kris found this awesome store called the Turkish Grand Bazaar. I loved this place. The store employees were great. I think they are all family members, but I don’t know that for sure. We shared, talked and laughed. They had so many amazing items in this store, MJ and I could have spent a lot of money in that spot. I loved all the colors, lights, and cool items. Tonight’s photo is some of the colorful lamps. I loved them all.

Hardware Store

May 8, 2015

Here is something a little different for you. I don’t normally take close up photos of anything. I prefer landscape and architecture photography. But today I have a photo of these 100-year old part drawers in the hardware store within the W. A. Young & Sons Machine Shop and Foundry. The hardware store is on the 2nd floor of this location and is very cool. The store still has all the products in the drawers, in the cabinets and on the shelves. Anyway, I liked the detail on these and the age….

Apple In The Big Apple

I took this photo at the Apple store at the southeast corner of Central Park in New York City about a month ago. This entire store is under the street level plaza. The only thing above ground is this glass cube with a spiral staircase and elevator going down to the store.
