A watchtower designed by Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter to replicate Pueblo architecture offering views to the east and the Colorado River is the first viewpoint visitors travelling from AZ 64 see as they enter the Grand Canyon from the South Rim. Colter personally oversaw every detail of the structure and was careful that the structure blended in with the canyon.

Light Up Night 09 (19 photos)

The city left the lights on @ Heinz Field this year. The lights coupled with low, reflective clouds made shooting the fireworks a less than happy experience. I tried using a longer lens to cancel out the glare from the lights as much as possible, but these are less than stellar.

Barack Obama - Beaver, PA (28 photos)

More of the Same It was more of the same old liberal tax and spend Democratic rhetoric last night as Barack Obama and Joe Biden stumped in Beaver County, PA last night. Most of the time my camera was over my head and the exposures were long because it was dark out and the crowd had a tall guy ahead of me, so there is some camera shake. All in all, I am pretty please that I was able to get a handful of decent shots.

Chuck's Birthday Party 1997 (7 photos)

Early in Providence's history, the trend was to throw chuck a suprise birthday party (Nov. 21) This particular year, Everyone chipped in and bought Chuck a fancy Monopoly game, MOnopoly being another early church past-time. The Prater girls wrapped it in several boxes, which Chuck found particulalry amusing.
