Head Start
This photo was taken in North Carolina. We were on our way to Florida and stopped in North Carolina to eat.
Where the Shadow meets the Wall
The sun shone brightly
The moon was soon to show
Dusk was setting in
The day was finally ending
Where’s that light I’m looking for?
It’s where the Shadow meets the Wall
The Vancouver Couple
Just to top off my couple pictures, I’ve been holding on to this picture for a while but never posted it.
This picture was taken in June of this year in Vancouver, Canada by photographer Rich Lam.
After the Vancouver Canucks (a professional ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) lost the Stanley cup finals, the city went to war. I guess ice hockey is the most vicious sport. During the riot, the police hit Alexander Thomas, the girlfriend, with a shied and her boyfriend, Scott Jones began to kiss her to calm her down.
Talking about peace in the time of war! Here is the link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/16/vancouver-riots-2011_n_878128.html
On the Road
The Van
While on the highway, a white truck passed us. I could see a reflection of our van in the trucks’ rims!
On the way to Florida
Yesterday I blogged about the pictures I took on the way to Florida.
Here is another one I took on the road.
The white stuff is Cotton. When someone spotted that out, everyone started to talk of the slavery days. One person even knew a song!
Road Trip to Jacksonville, Florida
My family recently took a road trip to Florida. It was simply fun and exciting. I enjoyed going through the different states and seeing more of my America than my usual New York. I tried to photograph signs that said “Welcome to” for each state as I could. I enjoyed watching the sun rise and set and the steady movement of the traffic. I wish I could continue on through America all this season but we had to return home.
I took pictures constantly. As we went further south, the weather got warmer and the scenery changed. The trees changed in number and in type. I was glad to see more trees than buildings for a change!
My favorite scenery picture (the one above) was taken in Georgia. The sun was setting and we were almost in Florida but not quite. I stared to see a lot of marsh land. Some of the flatness reminded me of Alaska.
If you look closely, you can see the van window and an outline of a person’s head.
