Photo Clearance Sale: Random Stuff

February 16, 2006 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

I’m still working through my backlog of Z3 photos. Try clicking to look at the larger images. Instead of linking to the raw JPG file, I’ve got an HTML page that provides a black background for better viewing.

Neon Shrine

One of my neighbors has this in their front yard. I have no idea what this means. I suspect it’s just some Catholic thing that I’m unfamiliar with, but for all I know they’ve converted the building into a small church.

Smoke From a Fire

I was walking down Milwaukee Avenue near my house when I saw this big plume of smoke rising from something a few blocks away. If I’d been in my car I would have driven over to take pictures, but it would have been out by the time I got there on foot—I was about 100 yards from a firehouse when I took this picture, and the truck and engine had already left.

Life in the big city: I never even bothered trying to find out what had burned.

Cookie

Nothing artsy-fartsy here, just a picture of a dog. Cookie belongs to some friends of mine.

I was at party at their house, annoying people by taking lots of pictures, when I snapped that one of Cookie. These next two photos are from the same set. Nothing special, but I liked the way all the light and colors were turning out. Here are a couple more:

That last one is from a visit to the Morton Arboretum a few miles west of Chicago. Like the two before it, I just like the way the light and color worked out.

This is another view from the rotating restaurant at the top of the Hyatt hotel in Milwaukee:
