Wires Everywhere

It's A Bird, It's A Plane....

I bet you're curious how I got this grasshopper photo? There was a bit of luck involved to the grasshopper like this. I was leaving for work on a very hot a steamy afternoon. I opened the car door and was hit in the face by a wall of sweltering heat from the car sitting in the sun all afternoon. It was very hot outside and even hotter inside my vehicle. I must get inside the car so I can leave, I turn on the engine and fire up the air conditioner. I'm sitting there for a few minutes in the drivers seat, when this grasshopper jumps onto the front window of my car. What luck eh?

Have you ever had strange luck like this for a photo?

Favre On The Loose

I made it to the Minnesota Vikings versus the Detroit Lions game on Sunday with my wifey. The Vikings was by a score of 24-10. Something I didn't expect to happen was seeing Brent Favre up here in the stands with me. I'm not sure how he found the time to watch the game from the fans perspective, but as you can see, I have him right there in the photo.

Decay

Found this graffiti weathered bench while walking along the river path at Minnehaha Falls.

Please Be Careful

Be careful out there, this is a combined path.

Jointly Built Bridge

Found this plaque on the Minneapolis side of the Ford Parkway Bridge that crosses the Mississippi River. Looks like the bridge was built on a joint effort between the two neighboring cities.

Minnehaha Falls

The ever popular tourist attraction in Minneapolis, the Minnehaha Falls. Depending on the amount of rain, the Falls can dry up. I've seen it once, but this summer we've had plenty of rain to keep the falls busy.

Not A Pretty Sight

I'm on the hunt for graffiti this month as the October theme day is graffiti. I have this feeling that this electrical box has been the host of graffiti in the past judging by the odd paint job it currently has.

Free Falling

If you were around my blog in late July of this year, you most likely saw my Flugtag 2010 St Paul photos. Interesting thing they did to start the show was to drop to guys from a plane and land on the ramp from which the vehicles would launch from. It was quite an entrance and the first time I've ever photographed someone free falling from an airplane before. It was quite the challenge as I was amazed at how fast they descended from the sky to the ground.
