Somehow seemed humorous to see a land-locked caboose.

 

Shot this near London, Ohio... August 5th, 2006.

Nothing fancy... just point and shoot.

 

Elusive

Photo info:

Taken through a window, in bad lighting, from only 10 feet away, while the deer was running. Did not know whether I got him or not until I viewed the photo.

Love that photo Musky!

That's a lot of Technical info.  What exactly is ISO.  I was taking photos a couple of months ago and I pushed a button accidently and the ISO kept changing.  I didn't notice any difference in my pictures. 

 

Anyway, here is my photo.  I was quite pleased when Reviewer said he found this to be stunning.  Made my day  :-D

Sorry - gonna cheat with two pics. Both taken with a Minolta Z6 (6MP, 12x Optical Zoom).

 

Now that deck has a nice view:

uopicoftheday.jpg

 

Probably my favorite but most inaccessible vantage point of the skyline. From I-490 - it's not exactly safe to pull over on the berm, so I apologize for the blur, the barrier, the fence...

uopicoftheday2.jpg

 

Ooo - the 490 skyline shot!  That was one of the first skyline views I ever really dug!  When I'd take 71 S out of town, I'd normally take 77 to 490 to 71, just to spend a little time with that view!  I'd forgotten about it until now - thank you so much for posting it!

Why not. I've done so for Columbus's skyline.

And that's a shame.

Taken from my patio a few minutes ago...

The aftermath of the snow storm in north central Illinois (it was so bad the university closed on Friday):

Rather large contrast with the photo before it!

Are you really that much of a geek that you'd drive out of your way, just to see a particular view of the skyline?  :roll:

 

J/K  :wink:

 

 

Oh well, there are worse things than being called a geek. And I would drive slightly out of my way to see any skyline.

Rather large contrast with the photo before it!

 

I didn't see any difference....

 

We didn't get even get a trace of accumulation here in NEO. Hard to get into the Christmas spirit without some snow. Might as well as be on Lake Emerald, Fla.

<shrugs shoulders> You should of thought of it 5 years ago as well.

What? Snow on Lake Emerald?  :?

 

Nope, these are some of the hundreds of migratory birds that call the lake home during the winter. Hopefully I will see a “true” White Christmas when I arrive in Cleveland for the holidays.

 

All though the pic above form Illinois is "beyond" a White Christmas. A light "dusting" would be perfect!

A crappy old pic I took of Fountain Square in Cincinnati around 1970

FSq70.jpg

^(Slightly less) filthy hippies!!

Funny, I never see anyone sit with there feet in the fountain like that.

 

Good in-between shot, meaning Fountain Square had been re-designed, but the Westin wasn't built.  What year was the Albee torn down anyway?  Also, the sculptures are totally oxidized, in contrast with today.

OMG I want to cry.  Quimbob, don't hold back on us, I want a whole thread of those photos.  I have never seen any photos with the fountain in that location with that Albee Theatre still standing.

Definitely, Quimbob - please, please, please, a thread of these shots?  Even if they're snapshots of people, just the details in the background would be so cool to see!  Pretty please?  I'd happily spring for a [insert beverage of choice] at the next meet in partial recompense for the unlimited coolness the thread would be!

 

sorry, I was just a kid. I think that was the last shot on the roll.

That's my friend Larry on the left (I think).

We had gone to the zoo earlier. I might have some shots of that.....

Time to get a hold of Uncle Larry's film and post it here. ;)

Yeah, anything vintage!

 

Oh, and I'm sorry, I forgot to thank you for that gem!

^I love it when the lake looks like a tub of wet cement.

A beautiful day in downtown Cleveland today

 

Cool, the rock hall looks like an ice pyramid.

Good photo. I like the waves splashing against the breakwater.

 

Cleveland's lakefront is great in winter, if you can stand the cold wind. I like it when the lake is frozen over and the snow squalls come flying across the ice.

Then you'll REALLY LOVE the rivers of Columbus.

Rob, I think you're a great guy, a talented photographer and an all-around cool forumer - but if you really enjoy that, you're a sick puppy! :lol: 

- but if you really enjoy that, you're a sick puppy! :lol: 

 

Ha! I never claimed not to be!  :-D

 

I wouldn't want to enjoy the view all day, every day, but I guess I'm pretty visually-oriented, and I remember the scene as stark, bleak and almost monochromatic in tones of light blue. Unfortunately, no camera. I don't know how I would have captured it, anyway.

I was staying at the St. Joseph Christian Life Center (at the end of E. 185th) on a retreat back in the mid-1990's in January, and it reached 20 below zero or some insane record low - and I just had to - I put on every article of clothing I had, and walked out to their lake overlook thing...it was on a concrete pad high enough up that you were above the piles of ice by the shore, so the only thing to break the wind between Canada and me was the curve of the earth...

 

It was amazing...so cold my jeans felt like paper.  Life-sucking cold.  The wind...gah.  Just an amazing experience.

 

I still need to experience some real cold some day - some Alaska cold, where steaming hot coffee freezes solid before it hits the ground...but until then, I've got Lake Erie at twenty below...

When I was a kid on the farm, winters got really cold. I remember one time I carried a cup of steaming hot coffee outdoors and it froze so fast that the cup busted and the ice was still too hot to hold onto! :-o

I went to Alaska to see the pipeline when I was working at SOHIO.....you don't want to fuck around with that kind of cold!  It took me a month, after my return to Cleveland, just to thaw out! 

 

and polar bears aren't cute...up close!

Somewere within that anecdote lies the concept for a Starbucks theme-drink.

Can you imagine how the person in the little gift shop booth feels up there, all alone, with those things staring at him all day ?

Last time I was up there, the cashier brought her kids to work.  Something tells me she had her hands too full to notice.
