Worldwide PhotoWalk 2011

Last weekend was the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk.  Since we're on the Gulfcoast, we had our choice of New Orleans vs Fairhope, AL.  At my insistence we chose Fairhope. The scheduled day for it was just better. The one in NOLA was on a Sunday afternoon.  (Have you ever evicted a sleepy kid from bed on a Monday after a "fun filled" Sunday? Yeah.)

I didn't submit anything for the contest. I has been about a year since I've done anything with my camera. Nonetheless, while there was nothing particularly spectacular, I think I got a few decent ones... Nothing I'd hang on a wall, but interesting enough to look at once in a while.

First of all, this is just about the quintessential Suthun picture.  And that's about all there is to say about that!

The photos above were taken on the campus of small community college on the route. The campus that the most enormous Magnolia tree ever invented. I mean, so large there was just no way to capture it in an image...

Below, here, are photos of a firehouse museum.  I'm not a stuff keeper, but thank god for those who tend to be. There was an old Ford firetruck and the walls were loaded with all this paraphernalia.  Such an interesting little area. And the colors were popping!  But, for me, red always does.
