Welcome to California? — Photo 21 — Project 365

Welcome to California? — Photo 21 — Project 365
I took a road trip and wanted a picture of the “Welcome to…” signs are the various state lines. As I drove into California, the road was under construction. The two were too funny together — “Welcome to California” and “Road Closed”!

Railways Spikes — Photo 20 — Project 365
There a railway that runs through town and some of the neatest things are just off the tracks. Here appear to be some repair supplies left at the side of the rails. I love the colour the few plants add to the scene.

The Provo Temple — Photo 19 — Project 365

The Provo Temple — Photo 19 — Project 365

The Provo Temple at night is beautiful when lit up at night, and even better from above. This was taken from Squaw Peak, just up Provo Canyon. This was also taken with my zoom lens - next time I’m taking my tripod to improve my odds of getting good night photos.

Plug Me In! — Photo 18 — Project 365

Plug Me In! — Photo 18 — Project 365

It’s amazing how much my telephoto lens lets me zoom in. The flip side is you have to hold VERY still to get good pictures because the zoom magnifies every little movement you make when holding the camera.

Carrying Your Love With Me…and Everything Else — Photo 15 — Project 365
I don’t buy much ‘stuff’ and so I can get pretty excited about the stuff I do buy (school has a way of eating up all your money…). I’ve been toying with it for over a year and so I finally went out and bought a portable hard drive. Now I’ll be able to carry all of my photos with me on the go. The literature that comes with it says it has room for 150,000 JPEG’s…

Sunflowers in the Mountains — Photo 14 — Project 365

Sunflowers in the Mountains — Photo 14 — Project 365
Since I’m making up the rules, it can’t be cheating and I’m going to put up another photo. Perhaps it even works better when placed beside the mountains from earlier today. I love the colour in the flowers, especially against the quieter background. The flowers, with their bent and twisted petals, give a realism to the scene. How wonderful it is to be close to nature. :)

The Chevrolet — Photo 12 — Project 365
Here is the case of something relatively ordinary looking a little extraordinary. The car, parked the way it was, seemed to bode more energy and power than its simple surroundings suggest.
