Seahorses

Hunting Island, SC.

Henry Chambers Waterfront Park

Another foggy day in Beaufort, SC.

Hunting Island Fog

We went out to the beach this afternoon and found some awesome fog.  It had been sunny until we got to Hunting Island, where it looked like a cloud had dropped out of the sky and covered the island.  It made for some great photography.

Saturday Evening On Lady's Island

Actually I'm on Lady's Island looking across the river towards Beaufort.

Lee Street

From an elusive sunny day a couple of weeks ago.

New River Gorge

We spent the afternoon of a very warm December 23rd in the New River Gorge. 

Herzog

A couple of rail car panoramas that I liked.  The top one is a 3 shot panorama and the bottom one is 4.  Click on them for a better view.

Gauley Bridge, WV

This is the little town where I grew up.  I actually didn't live in town but on up the Gauley River about 3 miles in a wide spot in the road called Alta, WV.  We did everything in Gauley though, school, church, friends, groceries, doctor, pharmacy, clothes, haircuts, tv repair and on and on.  It was a pretty neat town when I was a kid and probably even more so when my mom and grandmother were growing up there.

The New River and the Gauley River both end right where the bright lights are and they form the Kanawha River.

Molly and I had gone rock climbing this afternoon and we were on our way home and we stopped at the end of the "boulevard" to see if the Milky Way was visible over Gauley.  It was visible, but it was almost directly overhead and not over the town.  I went ahead and made a few photos anyway, just for s & g's.  This was also the first time I had used my Fuji xe-2 for any night sky photography.  I think it did ok.

City Hall, Charleston, WV

Charleston Baptist Temple

This is from one day last week.  All we've had is cloudy weather for a while, but it makes for good black and white photography.

Thanksgiving Gals

I was out numbered.

The Gals

Parked Train

Zag

A couple of our cousins from Brunswick, GA came in for Thanksgiving and we were able to take them rock climbing Tuesday. In this photo Bonnie is almost to the top of Zag, a cool 5.8 climb at the Bridge Buttress.  It was a perfect day.  Not too hot, not too cold and some of the clearest blue sky ever.

West Virginia State Capitol

A Few Of Saint Albans' Bravest

Summer Climbers

I was looking through some photos from this summer and came across this one that Molly's friend Kaliegh took.  Molly and I were taking Kaliegh rock climbing for her first time.

Cold Water Divers

Firefighters Luke Adkins, Eric Tucker and Mike Lively getting ready to make some cold-water-dives in the Kanawha River Monday afternoon.

Sunday Statue

Sunday Afternoon Color

It had been a while since I went for a walk just specifically to make pictures, so while Kim was nappin', Molly and I went to Charleston and walked around town for a while.  It was perfect weather and there was still some color on a few of the trees downtown.

Porsche 911 Carrera

I spotted this beauty this afternoon in front of the Clay Center.  Nice!

Angel's Arete

Kim, Molly and I had another great afternoon at the New River Gorge Monday. Molly made it to the top of Angel's Arete, a 5.10a climb.

Ridenour Lake Sunrise

Monday At The New River Gorge

Monday was a great day.  Molly and I got some rock climbing in after she got out of school.  When we finished climbing we headed over to Beauty Mountain for the sunset then to Water Stone Outdoors to get some stickers for Molly's new ('91 Dodge Dakota) truck.

Foggy Kanawha River

Saturday morning on the river in Saint Albans.

Saturday Morning Street Shots

I had a couple of things to do in Charleston Saturday morning, so while I was there I took a nice walk around downtown.

Beauty Mountain Color

One of our favorite spots.

Tuesday Morning

One of the most dramatic sunrises I've seen.  I was at work with only my 35mm lens for my Fuji x-e2 and I was so struck by the awesomeness that I didn't think about going up on the roof of the fire station until it was over.  Booo!

Wednesday Evening Rainbow

We saw five rainbows yesterday evening  and I saw one the day before.  All doubles!  The other one in this photo is barely visible.  It's to the left of the bright one.   The last one we saw was "full on across the sky.  Whoa!!!"  I wish I would've been able to get a photo of that one.

Capitol Market

Some color from the farmers market at Capitol Market this afternoon.

C-130

A C-130 soars over Appalachian Power Park this morning.  I like being downtown when they take off from the airport and fly over the city.
