Here's a couple of snaps I took on these gray San Francisco days:
UN Plaza, just a few minutes walk from City Hall. Populated with hobos and drug users/dealers who were so kind to vacate the frame.
The weather influences my mood so much; that's how I feel.
Now let's see yours!

Shortly after the hurricanes of 2004 pummeled Central Florida, life began to slowly resume some semblance of normalcy. I found myself driving around with camera in hand taking pictures for posterity. The last radial arms of Hurricane Jeanne departed the Spacecoast Florida neighborhood, leaving a spectacular Indian River sunset:

That was taken from the Chateau above Nice, France. I love that Seattle pano. Was that stitched or done with something other than 35mm?

I loved it there and I plan on going back real soon (as finances permit). Preferrably for the race again but that's not a deal breaker.
I wouldn't mind owning a house on the water somewhere between Nice and Monaco. Sat on the train thinking about how cool it would be to wake up to that view every day. I can walk to the beach in just a couple of minutes but I am totally jealous of the people in the south of France.

Thanks for the compliment.

Those helo shots are impressive. Very sharp and the exhaust blur is cool.
Here's some more to keep this thread going.

How do you post a photo?
You have to upload your photo to a hosting site, such as photobucket.com or content-type.com, and that will give you a url for the photo. You can then copy/paste to photo url into [img] tags here to display the image.

Doesn't really dispell the gloom, eh? Banks of the Neva.
The view from my room in the Hotel Okhtinskaya, Saint Petersburg, on April 14, 2006, the two year anniversary of my getting sober. Which is definitely another story. Suffice to say... view got a little blurry.

I am definately on your Grand Prix picture !
I was sitting on the second tribune from the right from your
view, you must have been on the tall tribune facing west right after the tunnel.
Don't look for my face, I have been wearing a read Ferrari cap like everyone else.
Great times...
(After trolling for years on thr and aps I would have never thought to be taken on picture here, it is a small world, I guess)

Just something. I've been blessed with a steady hand; I can get long exposure shots like that and the one below (which is a scan and didn't scan quite right) without much jitter at all.
That, IIRC, was a 1/4 second exposure, natural light, Udvar-Hedy (sp?) aero museum with my ancient Nikkormat FTN. The print looks worlds better than this overcompressed 22k POS and some day I'll spring to have the negatives professionally scanned, or spring for a neg scanner.

It's one of my favorite pics.

These were taken from a recent trip to Vegas. Camera was a Kodak EasyShare CX7430.
This road runner took the time to pose for me while begging for treats at a roadside overlooking Lake Mead on the way to Boulder Dam.
At the same roadside park were these tiny chipmunks also working the tourists for handouts. I tossed a piece of apple among them and they separated into two groups and the alpha males of each band squared off into the miniature boxing match for the rights to the apple. Westside Story Chipmunk style!
An evening view from my room at the Alladin overlooking the Bellagio and it's grand fountain show.
The 3.5 billion dollar Wynn Hotel and Resort right before it opened.
Wow and check that phone number.

How much to rent the Cobra? drool.
$325 /24 hours plus .50 cents a mile over 100 miles-$225 every 5 hours if you just want to show off for a little while.
It's those Ferrari's that get pricey @ $1500.00 a day..
Here's their price list, lots of exotics.

Vegas is just a huge playground for adults. It smells like money but you don't have to spend a lot to have a great time. Won a $1000 on the quarter slots at Bally's that covered the airfare and hotel.

The Rockville Bridge in Central Pennsylvania, on the Marysville side.
Ah, very beautiful. You should have gone down to Chickies Rock about half hour down the river. Nothing like looking over the Susquehanna, and occassionally watching the A10's flying eye level past the cliffs doing 150 feet over the river.

So there I was, flying at 12,000 feet, with nothing between me and the earth but a... whoops, wrong story. Well, I'm working through a chilled bottle of Momokawa sake. Junmai ginjo nigori, quite good actually. Yes, I know I'm a heathen gaikokujin for drinking chilled sake, but I prefer it.
Anywho, here's a hint. An old AM transmitter that needed to be scrapped, an on-coming storm and a very bored RevDisk don't mix well.
