With all the shelter at home stuff, thought I'd start a fun thread to help get our minds on better times. I am not a professional or high level amateur photographer, but I have taken some cool pictures over the years. If you've taken pictures that you're proud of, how bout posting a couple,and explaining what they are?
I'll Start:
St. Louis July 2003. I was staying downtown in that beer can shaped hotel by the arch. I got a call around midnight that my mom was taken to ICU in Arkansas, and was in bad shape. I got up at dawn as the sun was rising over the Mississippi river. I took this picture looking east. Went to the chapel in the center and said a prayer for my parents. Mom got out of ICU 66 days later.
Alley Springs, MO: From around 2002, near Eminence,MO.
Hotel Bothwell, Sedalia,MO. Shot at sundown in downtown Sedalia.
Desoto Sign, Carthage, MO. On a trip to Arkansas, took the scenic route 2018.
Missouri Hwy 13 Bridge, Lexington, MO: Looking north during the flood of 1993.

Those are old photographs from 2001, as I went a few months before 9/11. It's an astounding place. There's amazing ancient stuff everywhere. Our guide wasn't even going to stop at the Colossi of Memnon because we were on our way somewhere else. I had to ask for a quick stop and photo op.
I remember being at Saqqara and we went up on a little rise, and you could see pyramids in both directions along the Nile. There are a lot of pyramids. [Reply]

Yes it is. I can't find several of the better pics I took on that trip damnit. [Reply]
