Took a cool pic?

[amazinblue82]

Maybe this one was done before here. Did you (or family member) take a cool picture of something that wasn't a really cool car or truck?

Of course, not trying to make "rules" on this, but it would be kinda neat if you were there and saw whatever was in the picture with your own eyes, perhaps seeing it for the first time in your life in person, and maybe a few sentences about when/where it was?

I personally took these summer 2012 driving my daughter from Michigan to Phoenix. At "pit stops" in Springfield Ill, St Louis Mo, OKC, Ok, and along a well-known "stretch of road" cutting through New Mexico, these are four places I had never seen close-up in person.

Lincoln's Tomb, Springfield Illinois




Gateway Arch, St. Louis Missouri, Looking SE to NW, Hour after Sunrise. 630 ft high, 630 Ft wide.





Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial Entrance and Exit at other end of reflecting pond.

Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright's summer home, now home of his Foundation. Scottsdale AZ, October 2012 (97 degrees that day). He designed the house and the furniture/accessories in his typical way of operating.

Love FLW's stuff....but never heard of "Taliesin" before seeing it in person.

Very nice pictures.

thanks for stoppin' by and leaving a comment. i have been looking for my first non-business trip to Florida pics.

i caught some brilliant sunrises on "right" coast and breathtaking sunsets on the "left" coast and many "off the beaten path" shots of everyday people/things driving around the state....but i cant find them :censored:

we did Route(?) One drive from Miami to Key Largo to Key West and back. It was steamy but beautiful views
