Finally
I’m really pleased with this one! It’s not supergreat, but I’ve managed, with RAW and bracketing, to get a picture that will both show details in the clouds and isn’t a washout on the ground. Here’s a b/w version too:
Taken at the FSC in Moreton in Marsh, which in WW2 used to house some Wimpies.
Mainstreet USA: Apex, North Carolina
On the way back to RDU airport last week, I followed “old route 1″ which took me to Apex, North Carolina. This is probably as American as it gets.
Flickr Urbandetail Update
I’ve finally managed to update my urbandetail shots over at Flickr. Here are some of my favourites (click for larger version):
Featured picture: Truck pushin’
Sometimes, when I run across a really nice firefighting related picture on Flickr, I ask the author for some background infos as well as the authorisation to feature it on the blog. This is a fabulous way to get to know other firefighters around the world.
This one’s also really great. Taken by Hubsio in the philippines:
Q: What happened here?
A: its a games for our christmas party, to push the trucks to the finish line with water in the tanks. I think the reason why we play that game, because sometimes here the battery of our trucks drained out, so its like a practice of pushing the fire truck =)
Hubsio writes about himself:
im a member of the federation fire =) its a volunteer group, non government organization, its a non paid job, all volunteers, we do our own expenses to acquire our equipments, our gears. if you want more of our pictures, you can visit our site, its www.federationfire.org .
