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.

Grabbed a couple of timber end cuts from my biz and took them to a customer who has a timber CNC (Joinery) machine. Gave him a File of the logo and poof-got those. Started as a couple of Doug Fir Beams 8x26 I think.
Brother I want one - PM me! That is incredible! Logo from left to right! Wanna PISS off some serious Saints fans in my local! Already have the 4CHIEFS licence plate! [Reply]
:-) I can't decide what part of that car I like the best. I suppose the bumper suspended by the bungee cords, which surely meets if not exceeds all NHTSA standards. [Reply]
When I worked as a controller at St. Petersburg Clearwater Airport from '73 to '77 we had an airshow in '76. We had Bede Jets, Pitts Specials, but the stars of the show was the Blue Angels. Here a photo of them in formation taken from the control tower as they make a low pass.
We had an aircraft display on the ramp with the old terminal and control tower in the background. That tower has been demolished and replaced a new taller freestanding tower further south. Also the terminal has been enhanced and modernized.
