Limitations, Thank Goodness for Good Neighbors

It's always good to have good neighbors anytime, however, as you get older and restricted on your abilities either through your own knowledge of your limitations or those of a doctor it becomes even more important at certain times of the year. This is mine. About half my age, boy do I wish I was back there, and no restrictions. Just so you know, I'm not that old, at least that what it says in my bio but there are a couple of doctors and the boss who say I have limitations.

Quarterly Trip

This is the view heading south on Brown St. in the University of Dayton area in Dayton, OH. Quarterly I make a trip to downtown Dayton for a meeting. Forty plus years ago, as it is in other cities small or large, it was common to make a trip down or up town to shop, see a movie and maybe have dinner. Today the largest activity is right in the middle of Dayton where the buses make their loop from the suburbs and the passengers make their transfers to other suburbs.

The top picture is coming into the business part of Brown Street. This area is where the college kids hang out in their favorite spots to eat or just gather. The bottom picture is in the hang out area. First business on the right with the red sign is Cassano's Pizza House. They've been here for over 50 years.

Experimenting With Photoshop

You can do this with a special lens or software if you have it. Doable with Elements or CS series of Adobe. This is my first attempt at what is called tilt-shift photography. It plays with you imagination and the illusion in your eyes. I need a better picture, higher up and with more in it I do believe. The illusion is to look like miniature objects using blur and clarity but limiting the clarity. I was at an autocross race of Corvettes and Porsches standing on the upper part of the grandstands.


Flying?

Flying pizza or flying cars overhead.

It Will Take You Away

Only needs someone sitting in the left seat and you're off.

Cold!!!!!!!!

Nothing says cold more than the lack of color and the shimmer of lighting on a canvas.


Of course the next thing is to see your heating going out the pipe on your roof.


Warming the Cold Morning of Winter

The sky is being warmed on a cold winter morning. The frosty air can still be seen through the layers of trees in the woods.
