photography: May 2007 Archives

Although I wonder who's watching what, they both like looking out the window . . . from the random photo series.

I would never have the patience to be a pet photographer . . . from the random photo series

And on my off days I wrestle bears - from the random photo series

Just in case you're not getting incredibly bored with information from our trip to Nebraska . . . North Platte is rich in railroad history. At the city park, also named after Buffalo Bill Cody, are a couple preserved locomotives. This is one of them - a freight and passenger train built in 1943 and retired in 1961. It's the only one of this class on display in the world and known as "The Challenger 3977" - from the random photo series.

It would appear that authorities from the state of Nebraska have decided to extradite me from Kansas to appear before a judge for a long list of charges. Quite honestly I really don't know what this is all about. But I guarantee I will get to the bottom of it before long.

To add to the disgrace I've been notified that Paris Hilton will be my cellmate. My wife has informed me that, "If that bitch brings a video camera you better keep your clothes on!!"

My good friend and fellow shutterbug Aleah took this picture this weekend. As you can see, Kansas has been getting hit pretty hard with strong storms and torrential rain on ground that's already soaked. What's more, you can clearly see, if you look to the top right of the picture, that this storm is clearly rotating - something we don't like to see. Luckily I didn't run into anything like that during our trip home. Fortunately, we made it back in one piece from North Platte around 7pm last night.

I have discovered that Jeeps are not the most aerodynamic vehicles on the road when facing strong winds on the interstate. The better part of the drive back we faced gusty side and headwinds that made the trip a little stressful. I have a boatload of pictures I want to share with all my readers. I'll probably be posting them, one at a time for a while as I get around to cropping them down. I uploaded them to my desktop computer last night, but haven't done anything with them beyond that. After watching the Sopranos last night, I went to bed with a booming thunderstorm to serenade me in my quest for some well deserved sleep.

I mow them over and they come back. Another installment in the random photo series.
