AIRPLANE SUNSET
DENVER AIRPORT
Although initial troubles with the automatic baggage caused the airport to be mocked as “Dead on Arrival”, they appeared to have plenty of baggage handlers working on my plane. At least 3 more disappeared from this shot before I could capture the loading party.
AROUND DENVER
Arriving in Denver in late afternoon, I encountered some traffic as I drove through downtown. I again used this traffic trouble as an opportunity to catch a great shot of downtown Denver with the sunset reflecting off the buildings.
The next morning, I took off for a chilly 35-degree jog in my favorite Denver park. I started out in the dark, but slowly watched the sky turn from purple and bright blue to a warm yellow & orange as the sun rose.
I counted dozens of little bunnies and enjoyed the fall foliage and the snow covered mountain peaks in the distance.
I headed back to the airport to pick up my boss & enjoyed the view of the Front Range as I waited in the cell-phone parking lot.
GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: A perfect day in Denver- no snow!
NORTH HOUSTON FROM THE AIR
This Tuesday Travel edition will take us to my trip last Tuesday. Flying to Denver out of Houston on Tuesday afternoon, we headed directly north over the Woodlands super-neighborhood. Above is Lake Woodlands & the lower center (by the smaller lakes) is the Woodlands Mall.
Zooming in, I could catch the Woodlands Pavilion- where we watched the DMB concert. There is a ‘waterway’ where a boat will shuttle guests from the Mall area to the Pavilion to the hotel nearby. It’s quite a swanky area & fun to hang out there from time to time.
Just north of the Woodlands is Lake Conroe- where I spent many of my day of summer as a youth getting into trouble on jet skis.
Since I was facing West out the window of the plane, I was able to catch the reflection of the afternoon sun on the literally hundreds of small tanks and lakes that dot the Texas countryside.
We even flew between Dallas & Fort Worth, and out my window I snapped a quick photo of downtown Fort Worth. Though I’ve been to Dallas numerous times for work, can’t say I’ve ever been to Forth Worth.
GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: My running buddy did awesome in the Marine Corp Marathon.
SILHOUETTE SHADOWS
Inspired by the Pioneer Woman’s acrobatic poses, I tried a few shadow shots the other day while we were at the driving range.
This is my sexy pose! Oh, and my bad camera technique
And this photo is to brag on my friend Mr. Lightroom again. You can see the before photo on the left and the Photoshop magic on the right.
GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: I’m so easily amused with my camera.
