The Spotlight

Motorhead guitarist, Phil Campbell. This capture is also from the Motorhead show at First Avenue this past Friday during Phil's guitar solo. The single spotlight, from behind stage was a great touch.

Motorhead

Motorhead performed at First Avenue on August 28, 2009. I managed to capture a few semi-decent photos from the show. You were only allowed to bring in point and shoot cameras into the show. Oddly enough, I drank a couple of pints across the street at a local pub, there was a couple of guys in there with English accents, I thought it was more of an Irish accent at the time. If I would have put two and two together, I would have realized those accents were real and they were roadies from behind the scenes of the Motorhead concert. It was an enjoyable show and as advertised, they put on the loudest show around.

Cottage Grove Football

Football season is just starting up. Today's photo is from the Cottage Grove Football Pee Wee division. It is for the boys heading into 5th and 6th grade. This scrimmage between the purple and blue teams was held this week. It's the final scrimmage before the first real game takes place on Saturday morning. In case you are wondering, my son is on the Purple Panthers team.

Quite The Sunset Tonight

What an amazing color the sky was tonight. I was at my son's football scrimmage for about two hours, with the sunset during the evening. Thankfully I had a clearing to get a photo or two of it. This photo, aside from cropping, is not color tweaked from a graphic program.

Garden Flowers

Flowers from the garden of swc, thank you for the contribution.

Caution Livestock At Work

One of the many signs that can be found on the Minnesota State Fair Grounds. The State Fair starts this week on Thursday, August 27 and runs through Labor Day, Monday September 7. Attendance throughout the fair typically runs around 1.7 Million visitors per year. Photo contribution by swc.

Looking Up

Down along the Mississippi River, an abandon grain house.

Passing Storm

To Ward Off Evil Spirits

Found this strange....not sure what it is exactly, perhaps it's lawn art, lawn art, or even as a warning to keep people out. Whatever it was, I found it unique enough for today's photo.

Panoramic Of Duluth

Today's contribution photo comes from swc from Duluth, Minnesota. It's okay to count Duluth as a suburb of the Twin Cities right? It's only 150 miles away....

The photo is made up of 6 separate photos stitched together using software. It turned out fabulous I must say. I'm uploading the full sized photo, 4 Megs in size and a pixel size of 12264x2072. I wanted the full sized photo so you can see all that is in this photo. One thing to note, on the far right of the photo is a thunderstorm out on Lake Superior. I didn't catch it at first, so you'll have to see the full size photo to see it.
