It has taken me some days to get around to doing even this short and difficult post. Tuesday January 31st 2012 saw the passing of Sophie Hogatha the Bottomless Pit. The only consolations we have is that it was a quick passing for her. And that we had a lot of quality time together. Sophie [...]
Late summer thru Fall I added 10 Parke County covered bridges to my photography collection but had forgotten to upload them. Talk of Spring riding reminded me to get them published in my Covered Bridges gallery
The Oakalla Covered Bridge is just west of Greencastle, Indiana and like most covered bridges in Putnam county it is over the Big Walnut. We had attempted to visit this bridge last fall when several other bridges were added to my Covered Bridges gallery but we turned around when the road turned to gravel. So [...]
Thanks to Greg there are 2 new shops on the list of central Indiana gun shops. Be sure to check them out.
I’ve uploaded some images from today to the gallery Valentine’s Day 2007. One thing about snow is it does make for some interesting pictures. Too bad I can’t safely get down to the river to get more. While I was at it I threw some photos from last week’s snow in a gallery as well.
Now I’m not sure in what light, but my comments in Toyota set to overtake GM in 2007 will be on the radio tonight thanks to Bob at 4 Wheeling Today. Tune it at 6:06PM PST on All Talk Radio to hear the discussion.
Since none of the last batch of header graphics seemed to meet with approval here are some new options created from pictures I took during the “Last Last Hurrah”. Some were taken at Cataract Falls and a couple are from the Rolling Stone covered bridge. A shelf above the lower Cataract Falls Looking down a [...]
One of the “Last Last Harrah” days (Thanksgiving thru the seven days) I made it down to Cataract Falls. It’s been many years since I’d been to Cataract but it hadn’t changed much, though the water was a bit higher in the lake below making the lower falls appear lower than they are during the [...]
With the changing seasons and the abundance of new subject materials it’s time to create a new header graphic. Between the fall colors, the acquisition of the Shadow, and the new covered bridge images I tried to find something that might encompass a bit of them all. So, here are the candidates for this round: [...]
For those who don’t want to wade through my Monday’s Ride post to ferret out the interesting links here are the two new Covered Bridge galleries created with pictures taken Monday. The first is the newly rebuilt Bridgeton Covered Bridge in Bridgeton, Indiana. The second is the Roseville Covered Bridge a mile or so outside [...]
