I was going through pictures on a back-up disk and came across this one.  I cannot remember which falls it is but I am sure that it was around Dillard, Ga or just across the state line in North Carolina.

Either way, it is a reminder to me to make sure that I do a better job of identifying where pictures are take.  I think that in the spring, I will re-visit some of the falls.  I came across one waterfall that had very little water flowing over it and remember seeing a picture when the water had greater volume.  Big difference.

This month's project is "The Holidays in Black and White."  I enjoy the challenges each month because it forces one to think and plan.  It gets one out of their easy mode, which for me is landscapes or stills.

These are examples of which I do not think will be submitted.  Pictures submitted are to be taken during the current month.

The first is a 'vintage' picture, which was taken two years ago.  It is a Christmas Tree made from lobster traps, located at Fox's Restaurant at Nubble Light in York Beach Maine.

The other pictures were taken in the foyer of our church.  The Manger has life-sized characters and I would venture that the tree is 14-16 feet tall.

A day early, but HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Linda and I went to St Joseph's Hospital at the I-285 perimeter Saturday evening so I could get a third 'Night Photo' to enter in the photo club that is in our sub-division.

The two building are known at 'The King and Queen' buildings, a/k/a The Westin Hotel.  I took them from a top level of the parking garage at the Women's Center. 

The picture of the red and white lights are of the traffic at the intersection of I-285 and GA Route 400 at 7:00 pm.  this was to the feft of where I took the photos of the buildings.  The first picture is the one that I submitted, along with the others from earlier,

The Olympics are not what they used to be...  The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has added venues that seem less than less competitive and more entertaining.  This, probably, is due to wanting higher ratings on television.

The following pictures are from a new venue that will run in conjunction with Synchronized Swimming.  It is call Synchronized Flying, which in keeping with the IOCs penchant for PC and parity, the scale is tilted to the Canadians.

There are two classifications, Pairs and Ensemble.

The Pairs.

The Ensemble.

Only three pictures today, from some of my favorites.

Here are a few more pictures from the past.

Yes, the picture of the barn with snow was taken in Cumming, GA.

The tree growing up the chimney caught my eye as I drove by one day.  I went back a few days later to take the pictures.  The barn has since collapsed totally.

The next scene is on one of the ways that I use to go to and from work.  The sunflowers face the sun in the East in the morning and in the afternoon, they face the sun in the West.  I think that a spiritual lesson from the sunflowers would be "Follow the Son."

This month's photo project are photos taken in the evening, without any natural light.  I still have take a third photo.  I look forward to the assignments because it requires one to get out of their comfort zone.  Portraits would take me as far out of my comfort zone as I could go.

I may re-take the scene at an intersection, although I do like the 'light-stars.'  Although, there is only a slight difference, if you had to choose one of the photos of the Forsyth County Courthouse, which would you choose?
