Another Round of Fireworks

What a lazy day I've had, you would think on a day like today one would be out enjoying the weather or at least uploading photos to my blog but not me. Lazy, lazy, lazy!!! 

I wasn't really happy with the fireworks last night, not so much the way they turned out photographically, I mean the event itself, was just lacking. Don't get me wrong I haven't been to a show yet that was really disappointing but it just didn't give me that WOW factor. No matter I'll be back again in 2 weeks.  

I'm not planning on going but the Italian Fest is happening in Newport this weekend.

Cincinnati Museum

I took a quick trip to photograph the Cincinnati Museum.

Smale Park, Cincinnati Ohio

I finally found a parking space YAY!!! Let me rephrase that, I finally found a parking space I didn't have to pay for. YAY!!! I didn't visit all of the park but I do plan on doing that at some point. I have to admit this is one beautiful park, I can't wait to see the rest when it is finished. The first two photos ended up being a bit of a disappointment, only because you can't really see the water flowing.

The two photos above the water is a little clearer.

Now these three photos above turned out excellent. I was able to capture the water in motion.

A different perspective of the Roebling Bridge.

To the City and Back

With the weather so crappy I thought I would head to Eden Park, I hadn't been there since the fall. My thought was that with it being so cloudy and storms in the forecast that the park would be empty. I thought wrong, I couldn't even find a parking spot so I headed back into the city, maybe it was just me but nothing really jumped out at me to photograph, the few photos that I did manage to capture I decided to do some heavy processing.

I didn't notice the bird at first on the wire...Wasn't that a movie "Bird on a Wire?"

What a great mural. Are they singing or screaming?

What do you do with a boring photo? Over process it of course.

Just Hanging Out

I can't believe that I was going to have a weekend go by and not take any photos so, I decided to hop in the car before it got to dark and drove around a little bit.

 Paul Brown Stadium.

 Great American Ball Park.

 I don't think Fink's restaurant will ever open again. It is really looking rather bad. It has been so long I don't even remember why it closed down.

 Unfortunately the crown wasn't lit up yet but I still like the photo.

 Wonder where these are headed?

A quick drive through Cincinnati.

A Few More From Around The City

Downtown Cincinnati

Hanging Out In Downtown Cincinnati

Another beautiful day here, although slightly cooler, just didn't want to spend the day indoors. So I packed up the camera and headed downtown. I was a little surprised how crowded it was, parking was difficult if you wanted a space in the center which is where I wanted to be so I could walk around. I ended up driving all over downtown. Pretty much a safe city as long as you don't go beyond 9th street, I'll go up to 12th if someone is with me. The photos below are just a sampling of what I took. I've lived near Cincinnati for almost 10 years and it is by far my favorite city.
