This being inauguration day in our country I thought I would post some of the images I took in Washington DC a couple of years ago.
On a recent trip to visit my daughter at Hardin Simmons in Abilene, I got up early Sunday morning, before sunrise, to go wind turbine ‘image hunting’. I didn’t get many images that I thought were very interesting on the trip itself. I was on my way back when I saw this abandoned ranch house. I thought it was appropriate how this old ranch house, a part of the past from West Texas, was positioned just below the horizon of the future of energy development for West Texas. This was near Trent, Texas.
We were fortunate to be able together as a family over the 4th. Diane and I with our four children, my brother and his son, met at my dad’s lake house on Cedar Creek Lake in East Texas. We love to gather at my dad’s place. Skiing, swimming, boat riding, water volleyball, 42 tournaments and just overall a relaxing time. I took a lot of work with me, so when the kids were off I could work on a few wedding albums I need to finish. Even on get-away weekends I don’t leave my work behind. You never know when inspiration will hit. It was a quiet weekend but very nice to see everyone again.
When I go to East Texas, I aways threaten to go out into some of the small towns around the lake to photograph cool things I might find. But laziness and time usually gets away from me and I don’t do it. Well this time I decided that I would get up at sunrise, while everyone else, except my dad and brother, are still asleep and go find some things to photograph on a little self assigned photo safari. I made my way into a rather large ’small’ town of Athens. Flags were up everywhere on the town square and not a soul was moving. There was a lot there but nothing inspired me. I decided to go North of town and on my way saw this really neat building. It was The Image Warehouse at 103 East Larkin Street. The sign with the address was captivating. Here is one of my favorites. I will post more information on this building with more images on another post.
