Taos Pueblo

Visited Taos Pueblo today. It's the middle of winter so not much going on there. 

If you go to the wikipedia page I linked to above, you can see a picture of this church by Ansel Adams.

Lots of snow. Glad it was actually cold as most of the roads were frozen instead of muddy. Even so the bright sun was starting to melt some of it while I was there.

Main complex with the mostly frozen Rio Pueblo river in foreground.

The bell tower is all that remains of the original church. You can find more info about this church at the official Taos Pueblo website.

The Bridge to Nowhere...

Also known as Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. Cool part is that it is part of a chase scene in the upcoming Terminator 4 movie (google search link). Bet you're wondering how I took a picture of myself...well actually I met a nice lady named Kathi at the Taos Pueblo that followed me over to the bridge and took the picture. 

Can you see my shadow in this picture? Hint: it's in the middle of the photograph...

Yeah I know nice smirk. But it was cold and windy and by the time this picture was taken I was ready to get back in the car about 10 minute ago :-)

Frostburg

So how cold was it in Frostburg on 22 Dec 2008 at 8:55 am?

Thanksgiving in Frostburg

While Frostburg is not named for the weather, you wouldn't know it from this picture...

Rush

Of course the real reason I went to Dallas was to see Rush. I brought
my camera this time, and that, along with much better seats, allowed me to get some better shots. Here are a couple of the better ones...

Kennedy Assassination

Didn't realize it when I made the hotel reservation, but as it turns
out my hotel was right down the street from building known as the
Texas School Book Repository. I'm sure you can figure out the rest...
And yeah, the "X" is supposed to be the location where it happened.

weather in Dallas

Well, I got in to Dallas just in time... Just as I walked into my hotel room, the light show began. Below is a picture from the local TV station showing the incoming weather...there's a lot of red in that there storm...

Cherry Blossoms in DC

Visit to the park with my younger nephew

Went to the park this past weekend with Dad, Sis and the nephews. The older nephew was moving way to fast to get a picture of him, but the younger one slowed down just enough for me to catch him...couldn't get him to smile though...

First Night Fireworks in Alexandria

Carlyle Square

Some pictures from the Carlyle Square condo I'm in the process of
purchasing.
