7/28/2014 - Thinking Outside The Box - Skateboard Park

This image looks like a row of windows but guess what, it is the bottom of a skateboard ramp.  The camera doesn't need a tripod because it is placed right on the pavement.   I was face down on the ground trying to see if everything was in focus or not and then clicked a couple of shots.  Sometimes I use Picasa to think outside of the box.  This time I used the camera to express what I saw.  Being creative isn't easy but it certainly is fun.

The images being presented this week were taken at the Hayward Airport.   The abandoned buildings are interesting but my eyes noticed how yellow everything was that day.

Thinking Outside The Box - A Study of Sky with Lines, Circles and Rectangles

This photograph was taken at a skateboard park.  Again, my face is on the ground while taking this image.   All I see is the sky, farmland and the road.  This particular shot has a few weeds or something in the foreground.   It is a study of the sky broken up with lines and circles and rectangles.   Why not think underneath, through, around, upside down?

Howdy Folks!   This week I decided to post images taken at the Stone Lake Historical Museum, Stone Lake, Wisconsin.  I was actually went into the Red Caboose.  I was surprised to see how comfortable it was for the men riding the rails in the past.   I always look when my husband, John and I are stopped at a railroad crossing but we never see a red caboose any more.   Gone are those days!
