Michael's "Abandoned"

I doubt the inside of this barn has seen a horse in a long time.

I found it and several like it on the Iowa side of the river Saturday.

Michael's "Industrial"

The United Rentals by Sapp Brothers has many many cherry picker type devices that they park in an extended position to advertise their being there.
I've been looking for a "blue sky" day to go shoot these. Not only was it gray, but I forgot they were closed on Saturday. Out came the new zoom lens. Dad will be happy that I got a Hill Brothers truck going by in the background!

It was probably a given that I would post a guitar or some other instrument. It wasn't until I started working with the contrast I noticed this Washburn is missing a lower bridge pin.
Odd that it still plays. Maybe it broke off. One more thing to fix.

Michael's "Texture"

I like to take pictures of walls. There are many need colors and textures that you can pull out of a 2-D shot.
Usually I like old buildings, but some newer construction methods have interesting texture to them as well.

Mike's "Symbolic"

I could not find time to shoot this weekend, and it was kind of dreary. I am entering a picture that is a "non-qualifier" because it was taken last year at this time. I saw Scott's Eagle shot on facebook, and it is one of many great shots he has take this week.
Never the less, this is symbolic, because that's what signs are! It was taken with a 1979 Manual focus Vivitar 80-200, in full manual mode on a mono-pod in JPG mode, because I still had not learned that "raw is better". I also want Scott to prepare himself for the contrast between national forest and Omaha creatures.

Scott's "Symbolic"

Saw a few Bald Eagles over the past few days. I can't think of anything more Symbolic of the freedom we enjoy. Not even half way threw this trip and it has been amazing.
