It is truly a pleasure to be home in Cincinnati for multiple weekends.  It seems like I have been on the road 70% of my time over the past six months.  The more and more I visit other cities, the more I love Cincinnati even more.  It is truly a great place to live and truly a great city to enjoy the holidays.

 

On Saturday, my family was at a concert so it gave me most of the day to play photographer.  I met up with ColDay, Nati Joe & Cincy-Rise throughout different parts of the day to walk and photograph the Queen City.  In the evening my wife and I ate dinner at Vinyl in Over-the-Rhine.  The food & atmosphere were fantastic but the portions were small.  Overall it met my expectations and I recommend it for people who are interested in trying new things and like a hip contemporary scene.

that shot of OTR is great.

As always, phenomenal job, montecarloss.

Wow...fantastic sunset shots...and those are the first nighttime shots from Carew that I ever remember seeing...very cool!

 

Damn is this a good pic...the lighting in there is terrible, and to get that good of an image is amazing!

 

I too have never seen night time shots from atop Carew Tower...VERY nice thread!!!!!!!!

very nice job. puts ya in the holiday spirit for sure.

Ah those night shots from the Carew are so cool! As is the shot of OTR from, I presume the Millenium Hotel Restaurant? Is that correct?

Very nice!

Correct.

Monte, Colday, Joe:

 

What time was it when you went up on top of Carew to get those shots??

6:30pm.  And it was Cincy-Rise, not Joe, that went up the Carew with us.

Very nice Monte.

Those are great.

I really like the firework shot.

Your pics are always top notch! 

Wow, absolutely fantastic!

That was awesome,  I love seeing the square packed

I'm jealous, and very glad you shared.

Fantastic shots!  I've never been on the Observation Deck at night - now I know what I'm missing.

WOW!! Fantastic shots.  The night shots from Carew-AWESOME!!  The different look at otr ,downtown and suspension bridge from Millenium are refreshingly different and therefore my favorites. Thanks for posting.

Thanks guys for all the great feedback.  I truly appreciate the kind words.
