Fantasy Metros

Well, it seems there are other nuts out there like me, who think transit systems are incomplete, and proceed to 'complete' them. Never mind cost and politics; this is dreaming big after all. I plan to do a couple of these myself, but in the meantime, enjoy these:

Indianapolis

Chicago 2055

DC (one version)

LA, looking very much like the London Metro

DC photos

In DC for a conference, and to hang with Kathi, her sister, and her sister's significant other (gushyboo). Some photos from today:



Victorian buildings in chinatown (which of course you would expect to find a Fuddruckers!)

Steven Colbert, whose portrait hangs in the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian (one sign of the apocalypse). To their credit, they did hang it next to the bathrooms, as far out of the way as humanly possible and still be in the museum.

St. Patrick's Church, Washington. Built in 1792.

Shriners's hall.

Russian Embassy. Closed when I was there; They were probably all at the military parade in Moscow.

Bald Eagles (and some other birds)

Went out to shoot bald eagles today.
I got a few halfway decent shots, but the camera doesn't have a great telephoto lens, so they only came out so well. It's a borrowed camera (I don't have a digital yet), and when I get my own I aim to rectify this situation. That having been said, here you go:
















1) Eagle and Gull 2) Eagles and other birds

1) Eagle and hawk 2) Eagle on an ice flow
