Dusk, in the Finger Lakes – July 29, 2011

On my way back from Friday Night’s Rehearsal Dinner up at Wagners Vineyards Ginny Lee Cafe’ in Lodi, NY, and as a spectacular Finger Lakes Sunset enveloped the Evening Sky I just had to stop and shoot the amazing view next to this old, abandoned, decrepit farmhouse with the rusted metal roof  that I have admired every single time I pass by! What A Sunset!

As I drove through into the bustling weekend activity in Downtown Watkins Glen, full of summer tourists I stopped across the street from the beautiful and recently renovated Glen Theater, and captured it’s resurrected night-time beauty in all of it’s glory!

What Great shots!….even when I thought I was finished shooting for the night! I guess you never know what awaits!

“Turn, Baby Turn!” Cohocton Wind Farm 07/26/11

Had a shoot for a client this Beautiful Tuesday Afternoon at the Cohocton Wind Farm located on the Corn Field Covered Hill Tops of Cohocton, NY. Windier than Hell up there!!! That probably explains why they put these Giant Propellers up there in the first place! According to one of the Engineers…the Towers are 300 feet tall to the hub where the blades attach, and the blades are about 150 feet long.

I was just mesmerized at the melodious spinning of these Giant Behemoths ! I thought this was just sooooo cool! I’d love to use one on these someday on my Studio. They would supply all my Electrical Power needs, and for an added bonus….what a frigging Paper Shredder too!!!!!!

Finally, the last shot was taken on my way home as I was passing through the Village of Cohocton….the Old Railroad Station, or what was left of it…… caught this Artist’s Eye. …..Rustic, Raw, Weathered Beauty!

“How Suite It Is!” Yankee Stadium 07/24/11

Took my first trip this 2011 Season down to the “Cathedral in the Bronx” Yankee Stadium for the 1:05  Game this Hot Sunday Afternoon. Had Suite Tickets, and upon entering Suite #4 and grabbing some lunch, I was pleasantly surprised to find in my company Four Yankees Old Timers! Guys I grew up watching way back in the ’70’s on B&W TV! Outfielders Roy White &  Oscar Gamble, the very first Designated Hitter in Baseball Ron Bloomberg, and Catcher Jim Leyritz! I never bring a flash to a ballgame so the pix aren’t up to my usual standards, but hey they are better than nothing and I have something to go along with each of their autographs! How Cool is that!

Also, wish I brought my close-up micro lens, but also shown  in these pix are some shots of Yankees World Series Rings,  The Boss George Steinbrenner’s Personal Championship Ring collection, as well some of the beautiful Original Painted & Photographic Art that proudly hangs in the FedEx Suite Level Concourse.

“Moonlight Derailment” 02:20 A.M. 07/20/11

Just before I was about to head home for the nigh…morning….I heard about a possible derailment by Wygant Road at the Holding Point Yards , so I just had to go check it out for myself…What a Frigging Mess! Probably a dozen or so cars off the rails…hard to tell in the dark…but it’s not just the wheels off the rails….these rails are ripped right out of the ties and twisted like pretzels underneath these fully loaded hopper cars…the road is torn up…like I said, What Frigging Mess! I guess I know where all the Norfolk Southern Track Repair guys will be working tomorrow, and Thursday & Friday in the 98 degree hot sun!! Good excuse to finally get those Holding Point lines re-done…..this was an accident just waiting to happen!

“Thanks again so much for everything on Friday! I can’t WAIT to see the photos you got! I’m waiting like a little kid on Christmas!”

Holding Point Time Portal Ghosts 07/13/11

On my quest tonight for more new Railroad Car Graffiti Art, I stumbled upon these old doors….and they made me wonder….how many millions of people turned those knobs, and walked though those thresholds over the last 75 years?
