Now that's something you don't see every day!

 

^Looks like a good avatar to me.

I'm not terribly afraid of heights but dear god, I would NOT want to be THIS guy!!! (from the Terminal Tower):

 

It looks like he is tied off at least.

I would be crapping my pants if that were me!!!!!!!!

finally the netting produces some high quality trapeze exhibits.

If one of you Clevelanders isn't working up a Terminal Tower costume, I'll be deeply disappointed.

Um, like a few boxes held together with bandages? :laugh:

I was thinking something along these lines:

Another classic from KOOW!

LMAO

The city by the lake...

 

I took these photos today.  This block has recently been almost entirely cleared, opening a dramatic view of the UC medical center from Vine St.   

 

A shabby house facing Euclid Ave.:

 

A row house facing Vine St.:

 

These photos illustrate what I've termed "institutional creep", the process by which institutions which provide thousands of high-paying and stable jobs to a city relentlessly pick at their surroundings for more space, primarily for parking but increasingly for suburbanish new housing.   

Those are some cool pics...but I thought that area was being cleared for a non-institutional purpose.  I thought I heard something along the lines of a boutique hotel or something...correct me if I'm wrong.

Cool.

Almost fractal looking.

Seicer that is a nice shot.  Certainly looks like California or another exotic locale. 

 

 

>I thought I heard something along the lines of a boutique hotel or something...correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I don't know what's happening there.  In the first photo, that house is amazingly still occupied.  I'm pretty sure the red house is vacant. 

 

Here's more recent stuff, both from a parking garage on 9th St.  The way all the little satellite dishes point toward the 7 o'clock direction is interesting.

 

Needs to be perspective-corrected but I think you get the idea.  And when you're hand-holding a telephoto it's really tough to hold the dumb thing precisely.

Thanks! The Red Spruce only start around 4,300 feet. That's where the moss begins to cover literally everything that doesn't grow fast or isn't trampled down. A virtual carpet of green.

Love it!

Better than massive antennas from the past.

This is something you don't see everyday in the middle of nowhere...

 

This is on a rural stretch of US-15, about ten miles south of Williamsport, PA...

I just had to get a picture of this lol

I like the "No one will know." Hillarious!

I always wondered where the middle of nowhere was. How do you know when your at the end?

When you get somewhere.

Maybe that's the beginning.

Depends which way you're headed...

 

The end of nowhere is the same as the beginning.

 

 

Just like city limits.

hahahahaha that was great ink!!!

I really shouldn't post pictures after watching football all day.  :lol:

A summer day at the beach...but where?

 

One of the great lakes and not an ocean.

Mmmm...possibly.

clearly that's orchard lake.

Guess who's tour bus?

 

License plate makes it too easy.

exactly... after koow's post, I thought we could use one.

Okay, a clue: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/10/us/10surf.html?em&ex=1166072400&en=05d1ee7686846983&ei=5087%0A

This photo is beyond funny. I set up the image for three people in a X-Ray room of an abandoned hospital, and forgot to include myself in it.

 

Well, this is how it turned out. I may go back and do more with that backdrop, since it is visually interesting.

 

^ Hayswood Hospital, December 2, 2007. I'd like to redo this image with a more soft light set above on the number one tray to remove the obvious effects of glare.

Hey that's craig from my studio class! Its a small ass world after all.

Yeah, you should come next time. Or when I'm in Cincinnati next.

 

...and a small "ass" world?

It's almost Christmas!
