ETS

Detail from a fire truck, vintage 1927, at Station 6 near the Martin Luther King, Jr. birthplace at The King Center National Historic Site. Yet another stop during our anniversary mini-vacation.

This was treated to a bleach bypass using a Lightroom preset.

Yellow Yelloq






































More from the Botanical Garden. I'm very frustrated with my photography lately...I can't seem to get anything even in focus....if anyone has any pointers, I'm open to suggestions. This was shot at f/5.6, ISO200, 300 mm, 1/2000 sec and on a tripod. I can't seem to find what is in focus! grrrrr....

Gas Flame

My wife and I took a couple of days off to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We became tourists in our town, seeing several spots in Atlanta. Included in our list was my first visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden. I think I'll have to go back when I can spend more time taking pics and less time trying to see everything. Might have to join a Flickr Stroll so all the experts can give me some pointers!

I Could've Had A...






































...V-8!

There is a museum for the Mount Washington Auto Road touring company across from the entrance to the mountain. They have the vehicles used to take people up the mountain. The collection goes back several years, although this Ford wasn't all that old.
