MARIA AND I in ORLANDO

Here's another recent shot of Maria and I in Orlando. You can tell I didn't take the shot since our feet are cut off........a photographer "no-no".......LOL. It would have been a great shot otherwise, but it still turned out nice nonetheless. One of the flight attendants on our trip took the shot as we waited to go to the all you can eat lobster buffet next to our hotel. It was great. I hope Maria's mom and dad like this photo, Maria es MUY GUAPA!!! ;-)

MOST CROOKED ROAD IN THE WORLD!!

Here's a small video clip I took during a recent trip to San Francisco (SFO). It's of the world famous Lombard Street in downtown San Francisco, and is considered one of the "crookedest" streets in the world. It has eight hairpin turns and was built like this to help passenger cars descend the 27 degree slope of the hill. During busy weekends, over 300 cars an hour go down this street. Better hope you have good brakes!!! ;-)

FOG........and the ANTENNA

Departing San Francisco a couple of months ago produced a neat photo opportunity. Here's a shot of a large antenna sticking out of the fog. Every now and then we see some pretty neat things, and this is one of them. Usually we see the spires of the Golden Gate bridge sticking out above the ground fog, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case today. At any rate, who'd have ever thought an antenna sticking out like this would be neat?

SOUTH BEACH CEMETERY

The other day after I FINALLY got home, I decided to recover from the cold weather up north by going to the beach in Miami. I almost thought I was at the wrong place when I looked over and saw what looked like Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, DC. Apparently the local veterans have had enough of the Iraq war and are trying to make a statement......just in time for all the Super Bowl fans. So.......here's a shot of the cemetery. I'm home for a few days so I'll post more tomorrow.

A FAVORITE ST MAARTEN SHOT

Well, I've been able to stay home from work for an extra day, so in keeping with something "good" like enjoying another day at home, I've decided to post one of my more popular photos. I took this shot in St. Maarten (SXM), while standing on Maho Beach. This is the plane I'll be flying back to Newark (EWR), about an hour from when I took this shot. The water is incredible, the sites are wonderful, and the island life is to die for. Now you know why I want to retire in SXM! Back in a few days.
