This is the unique structure at the Flight 93 National Memorial. It is supposed to have a bunch of chimes inside it…regardless I liked it. I liked all the different and unusual photographic angles. Plus, I got lucky with a great sky that day.

This photo is an old one that I took back in 2015, but I’ve never shared it. This was an epic exploration of an abandoned Overholt Rye Distillery outside of Pittsburgh. This was a tough shot to capture because it was a small and dark space. But I wanted to capture the bottom of this structure. This isn’t the best photo, but I like it.

I don’t know about you, but my life has been very busy over the last couple of years. And know it has gotten worse lately, for the obvious reasons. I love photography and sharing my photos/thoughts with you on this blog. But it can be tough at times to keep this updated. With that said, here is a photo for you and a very short narrative.
This is another photo from the Vessel in the Hudson Yards area of Manhattan. This is from the inside looking up.

This is the Szabadsag Hid bridge in Budapest Hungary. Translated that means Liberty or Freedom Bridge. It took 2 years to completed with the opening in 1896 with Emperor Franz Joseph putting the last silver rivet in the iron structure on the Pest abutment. The bridge connects Buda and Pest across the Danube River. It features art nouveau design, mythological sculptures and the country’s coat of arms on the sides. Interestingly, this was the first bridge in Budapest to be rebuilt after being badly damaged in World War II.

What can I say about this beautiful spot that you can’t get just by looking at it???? Probably just the basics. This is the Cargill Salt Pier on Bonaire. This is one of the unique scuba diving sites on the island. We dove this a few times on our trip. The coral and sea life surrounding the pier legs was great. And the entire island was amazing, pretty, and just a divers dream.

I’ve posted numerous photos of this bridge in the past and I can’t get enough of it. This historic architectural wonder has been used since 1883. I took this photo a few months ago and I doubt many people have this perspective. I hope you like it.

Why can’t every city have a cool library like this? Seattle has it going on when it comes to library building design! This ultra-contemporary glass and metal structure is awesome inside and out. If your ever in the Emerald City, make this one of your stops. It’s worth checking out.

It’s been way to long since my last trip to NYC, but I still have a ton of great photos from that trip. I’ve always felt safe and enjoyed walking around the city at night alone. I captured this photo from the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge on one of those solo photo walks. I think it’s a unique perspective that you don’t see much.

How was your Wednesday? My week started off great with a Foo Fighters concert in Chicago and been great ever since. My time is short tonight, so I’ll keep this blog post short as well. I took this photo outside the Cathedral in Palermo Italy. I just liked the detail on this portion of the church.

I need to get out and take some photos soon. I’m going through withdrawal and I don’t like it. I enjoy processing photos, but its not even close to the happiness I feel when I’m out exploring an area and trying to capture it’s beauty with my camera. The last photos I took were over a month ago….. so sad…
By the way, I took this photo at the Carrie Furnace south of Pittsburgh. This is part of the larger mechanical structure. I sort of liked this perspective.

Its Memorial Day tomorrow here in the United States. Most Americans use this three-day weekend to travel, hang out with friends, grill out and just have fun. It’s become the unofficial start of summer vacation season for most Americans. It was setup as a Federal holiday to remember individuals who died while serving in the military. So regardless of your plans this weekend, have a great time.
Today’s photo is from the Allegheny Cemetery is Pittsburgh. I love this castle looking structure at the entrance of the cemetery.

Today’s picture is from our photo walk at the Carrie Furnace. I’ve posted and written about this spot in the past. So I won’t waste your time with the background information again. I love the industrial structures and machinery.

Our last trip to NYC was such a great time. We had great weather and hit so many wonderful spots. This photo is the underside of the Manhattan Bridge. If you look closely, you’ll see a lady riding her bike between the bridge pillars. It gives you a perspective of the size of this structure. Have a great night.

Here is another shot of the Seattle Central Library. I posted another photo of this building back in March. You can see it here:

This building is so weird. I don’t even know how to describe it. When I looked it up later, the architect couldn’t even put a specific design style on this structure. Maybe modern contemporary is the best way to describe it. There are lots of funky angles, bright colors, unusual spaces. Around every corner, the building design changes to the point that they don’t even go together. So I felt like I was in a different building when I changed areas within the building, instead of one continuous building. So my take on this building is that it fits the Seattle culture.
I took this photo from the 4th floor balcony looking out at the building support structure and the diamond shaped glass exterior wall. Like I said, funky!!!
If you ever get to Seattle, check this place out.
