..of all the “under the pier” shot’s i got, i liked this one the most.. and it’s not like i planned on taking it, it sorta just happened.. we were just taking a break from walking around in the sun and saw this kid running back and forth so i just waited for him to come back and *snap*..
..i’m not satisfied with this version though, that’s why i have it in mono too.. check it out and tell me how you feel about it.. 😉
..wifey walking along Dauphin Island beach, taken the week before the booms were put in place around the island..
…
(katamaran n. laziness) ..tagalog, our local dialect in the philippines..
..might as well go for a wordless Wednesday too just like my photo blog buddy Bob.. 🙂
..3.1.. did you get it? 🙂
..anyways, this is how yesterday’s post (washed out pier) would look like if you were to step back a few meters away.. you can even see my footsteps from here.. i decided to leave them there and not clone them out because i find it interesting (or is it distracting? oh well..)
..continuing with the biloxi “beach-scapes” series i started off last week, here’s the colored version of what i had last monday..
..and a bonus..
..i’m obviously running out of titles, i guess you can figure this one out, yeah?
..and here it is in mono, just because i’m in the mood for it.. so which one do you prefer?
..i’d like to think of this as some trail left by a leafy monster..
..let me quote sherri on this..
I could not get in that water though. Something about it creeps me out.
..shot these series of images on a chilly february day, that’s the reason for it being desolate and all..
..starting off a new series of images from the “redneck riviera”.. read about it here..
…
..on the way home, we dropped by this fort we saw before going in to the museum..
Advanced Redoubt (1845-1870)Three heavily-armed forts guarded Pensacola harbor against invading ships. But what if enemy ground troops attacked from the direction of Bayou Grande? Rifles and cannon barrels would be bristling from loopholes and casements in these walls.Advanced Redoubt was built to assist Fort Barrancas (700 yards south) in protecting the Navy Yard from overland assault. The four fortifications were to create an interlocking system of defense.Although Redoubt was begun in 1845, construction dragged on for fifteen years. By mid-Civil War, the concentrated fire of rifled siege cannon rendered masonry forts obsolete. (as seen on the sign)

..this was taken at the same place as last friday’s post, just gave it a different treatment..
..not feeling good, i sound like a chain-smoking grampa..
..just enjoy the view..
..there’s that, and there’s this one below..
..nothing much going on here, snow was here and gone just like that.. a long weekend, let’s see where i end up going again.. in the meantime, here’s 3 park avenue..
3 Park Avenue is an office building located on Park Avenue at 33rd Street in New York City, built by Cohen Brothers Realty. The 554 foot tall (169 meters) building was designed in the International Style by Shreve, Lamb and Harmon, designers of the Empire State Building, and replaced Clinton & Russell’s armory for the New York National Guard’s 71st Regiment.The first 11 floors of the 41 story building house Norman Thomas High School, H.S. 620 in the New York City public school system.The building is notable for its bright orange brick and 30 story illuminated tower which lies at a 45 degree angle to Manhattan’s street grid.The IEEE corporate office is on the 17th floor of 3 Park Avenue. International advertising company Carat, The Seavey Organization, Inner City Broadcast Holdings (WBLS/WLIB) and TransPerfect are also major tenants.(wiki)

[audio:http://www.archive.digitizedchaos.com/audio/Laser Cannon Deth Sentence.mp3]..no holding back, just going overboard here.. lol..
..must feel great waking up with this scene.. check out that house on the cliff..
..best viewed supersized..
..that’s the sound these waves made while washing away the sand..
..on a different note, looks like it’s getting a bit warmer here down south.. 😀
..of the three times i’ve been here, this is the first where i had all the time to shoot and admire the scene.. my main goal was to shoot the rocky stuff, but it was high tide that time so this was what i got..
..taking a break from the vegas photos.. yeah, there’s more.. but in the meantime, here’s another one from the beaches..
..supersize me..
..i’ve been gone for a few days but can’t pass up the chance to post one for the new year..

..something calm to ease you into the work week..
..shot while wading ankle deep in slowly rising waters.. the opposite view of this one..
..this is how winter looks like here.. well, it is actually cold.. it just doesn’t look like it.. 😀
..taken a while ago at dauphin island.. i’m feeling a bit iffy about posting this one.. but i’m tired.. and sleepy.. i’ll be back to visiting you bloggers later.. 🙂
..still from last week, a pier that probably got washed away during Katrina..
..vivifying the vividness of yesterday’s post, here’s another one, taken yesterday while hitting up the casinos in Biloxi, MS..
..view this in mono..
..i want a house like that with a moat and cannons..
..sunday..
..view this in mono..
..view this in mono..
..the view from our room.. this is lower canal street on the lower left frame, the big flat building on the left is the audobon insectarium, next is the westin(?) at the end of the street is what i believe is the world trade center building.. all in all a great view.. 🙂
..view this in mono..
..the port of st. george, taken from barrack hill..
..view this in mono..
..five image stitch panorama of downtown manhattan taken from the staten island ferry.. i could’ve had the bridges on the right too if not for the crowd of tourists on the right side..
..this template’s not suited to panoramas so click the thumbnail below for the biggie sized version..
..here’s a couple lounging by the river, oblivious to everything except for themselves..
..i remember the wind blowing so hard that water was churning under flatt’s bridge (it’s somewhere in the left part of the frame, i think i’ll post another one later..) and through the inlet pretty hard while i took this..
..we were figuring out how to get to the crystal caves.. it was a long walk, good thing the friendly locals pointed us to the right direction.. ride a bus.. 😀
..remember this? well, i still have one more.. this one is taken a few steps further away from the first one..
..i’m taking a break from the bermuda photos, so i’m going back to nyc..
..this here’s the bow bridge in ‘the lake’ @ central park..
..for a landscape, i pretty much screwed up the settings for this one and wasn’t able to set the proper depth to attain the acceptable overall sharpness.. it still looked salvageable, so here it is.. distortion and all.. 😀
..here’s a UFO USO surfacing from the east river..
*after reading mike’s comment, i changed UFO to USO because it makes perfect sense.. why hadn’t i thought of it.. maybe it’s because i’m off to bermuda again this weekend.. lol! ;D
