ccpix > March 6,  The first round of images from the Washington DC trip this week. Thursday was a beautiful day but cold. I was able to get out very early and was rewarded with having many areas to my self. It was great fun shooting and a fabulous opportunity to take Washington's beauty.
ccpix > January 23, Busy all weekend shooting and posting from an event my TV station held yesterday so I reached into the vault and reworked a shot of my youngest daughter Kylie with Portrait Pro.
ccpix > February 24, This is the headline from October 7, 1899: "DEDICATES PEORIA MONUMENT.; The President Addresses Thousands at the Unveiling of the Memorial to Civil War Veterans."
(Excerpt) PEORIA, Ill., Oct. 6. -- A good part of the population of Peoria, the second city of Illinois, to-day took part in an elaborate demonstration to welcome to their city the President of the United States. The great event of the day was the unveiling of a monument erected by Peoria's citizens as a memorial to the soldiers of the rebellion, living and dead.

This is a shot of that statue on the courthouse grounds
ccpix > February 8th, A wonderful festival each year is "Feast of the Hunter's Moon" in West Lafayette, Indiana draws hundreds of period players and talented artisans. There are many Black Smiths turning out beautiful pieces.
ccpix > January 27,  A shot of downtown Chicago from this past summer
ccpix > March 8, Korean War Memorial near the reflecting pool. While not as well publicized as the Vietnam Memorial it is every bit as beautiful and emotional. Images of the fallen look on as their comrade move by in statue form.
ccpix > February 18, Illinois is fast becoming a center for wind energy. These new wind farms make for an unusual combination of traditional and futuristic. Some believe they clutter the landscape but I think they bring unusual beauty.

BTW that is heat shimmer coming off the corn on the wind turbine not a focus issue
ccpix > January 18th, Woke up yesterday and everything was blanketed in a layer of frozen fog...lots of beautiful ice crystals covering most everything. This was one of my favorite captures.
ccpix > February 6, SP of my "ride of a lifetime" abord Andy Anderson's BAC 167 Strikemaster at the Prairie Air Show. I have had the wonderful opportunity to fly in a variety of aircraft including hot air balloons, gliders, open air cockpit vintage bi-planes but this was my first jet fighter. It was incredible.
