I love the crowds on St. George Island in May. Actually the winds were pretty stiff, so sunbathing and swimming were not very much on anyone's agenda.Eeyorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12105554749192597378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025007632566513426.post-43396644163505426642021-02-14T11:55:00.002-06:002021-02-14T11:55:27.384-06:00God's Glorious SplendorThis is my first post here in almost two and a half years, so I may not remember how to make it look like I want it to, and they probably changed a ton of stuff in the interim.
One glorious morning a few days ago, God just outdid himself with the sunrise, if that's even possible.

It was one of the best locations in our sunset quest. You can get more of a sense of the skyline than up on Red Mountain.</span><br />

Of course it would move with the seasons too. Tuesday night Jo Paul, Gary and I went back to Stratford Road so Jo Paul could try a panorama. We waited patiently for the sun to set (8:01 pm) and got a few shots.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once the sun was down, the sky sort of went purple and pink and the lights of the city started to come up.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The view from the Tip Top Grill can be fantastic, but when we went to shoot the sunset it was very hazy and the partly cloudy conditions quickly gave way to cloud cover that stretched all the way to Texas. No hope the sun would peak under the clouds and paint their bellies pink and orange. As a side, I wonder why the Tip Top Grill is only open for breakfast and lunch when a dinner view of the sunset over Shades Valley could be fantastic.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Years ago I lived near Bluff Park and would frequent this hardware store when I needed something for the house. They always seemed to have it, and there's not much better than just wandering around a really old fashioned hardware store.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sloss Furnace, very near downtown, was still in operation when I moved here in 1971, belching fire into the night sky as I drove by on the First Avenue Viaduct. It's now a museum.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Birmingham also became a transportation center, and any night we're here shooting, the trains are constantly rumbling past.</span><br />

The wind makes my little Sony shake around a lot, so getting good images is tough. Maybe I should take that big camera strap off in the wind, since it acts like a sail. During a couple of calm moments, I came away with a shot or two.</span><br />

I took several classes there years ago and thoroughly enjoyed them and learned a lot. It is also an appropriate description of a photo outing Gary and I took during January. Enjoy.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On January 10, Gary and I went to a little place behind Sloss Furnace and tried to get some shots from a different angle than usual. The wind was whipping around so much it was hard to get any decent long exposures, but a couple came out okay.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Got a jet taking off in the first one.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was a damp and foggy morning in Shelby County, with a threat of rain, but he took his camera out to see what they could see together. This first shot alone made it worth the trip.</span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">No, I didn't shoot just as it fell, nor did I throw it up in the air. It was foggy down at Lay Lake, and some fisherman had tangled his line, broke off the branch, and left it hanging. The mono-filament was invisible. </span><br />
