During any visit to the Smokies its almost mandatory that you experience a Smoky Mountains sunset. They’re beautiful and inspiring and the best part is that there is ample opportunity to do it. First, there are a number of outlook areas that are easily accessible along the drive...
Great Smoky Mountains National Park Scenery
posted by CEGPhoto
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is easily one of my favorite travel destinations. It’s only about a six hour drive from home and has some of the best hiking and best scenery I’ve experienced in a landlocked National Park. There’s something green everywhere you look, lots of streams and waterfalls, colorful flowers and a lot of wildlife to see throughout the park (bears included!). A sunset view from Morton Overlook along Newfound Gap Road. Pentax *istDS. One of many flowing streams in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Pentax *istDS. Some beautiful scenery and photo opportunities can easily be found driving...

I missed my regular publish schedule for the Photos of the Week this week and I was debating whether to publish them today or just wait until Saturday. I decided to wait but, so you have something to look at tonight, I also decided to post something to tide you over. So, finally, here’s...

A Walt Disney World Vacation is truly magical and the comfort and attention to detail of the Walt Disney World Resorts is second to none. Even if you don’t stay “on property” during your trip you have got to visit some of the resorts and experience why they are so cool. My...
Lane Avenue Bridge Pylon

To finish out this run of Ohio State University themed photos from the past week I have this shot of the Lane Avenue Bridge. I shot this photo of one of the Lane Avenue Bridge’s pylons looking up from this perspective because I like looking at architecture from different views. So...

The NHL season is over and the Chicago Blackhawks have added another Stanley Cup to their history by beating the Bruins in the finals this year. With the close of the season, the NHL Draft just started this week and I remembered some of the shots I’ve taken at OSU Hockey games in the...
Mirror Lake at Night
posted by CEGPhoto
Today’s Photo of the Day is one of the many shots of The Ohio State University that I have in my archive – a handheld night shot of Mirror Lake near the South Oval of the OSU campus. Low light photography is very fun but it is always tricky, especially when shooting handheld with...

I absolutely love purple flowers. Purple is such a vibrant and happy color that brightens any area so when I saw this purple crocus growing by itself during a lunchtime walk, I had to stop and get a quick photo of it opening up. I took this shot with my smartphone because that’s all I...

If a relaxing beach is calling your name but you also have a taste for thrills then a vacation at Disney’s Polynesian Resort may be just the thing for you. I get relaxed just looking at this shot of the resort’s beach front. Where’s my Pina Colada? 🙂 When you’re down...

Ohio weather is a mysterious and fickle beast. One day we can have a good dumping of snow and the next it’s all melted under the warm sun. The calendar says that spring is finally here but, some days, it doesn’t feel like it. Today is one of those days and it got me thinking...

I was looking through photos I’ve taken this year and spent a lot of time on ones from our week in Orlando. Granted, it’s only been a couple months but I am so ready for another trip! I blame work and the weather. Here’s a favorite photo from The Wizarding World of Harry...

Due to the storms that hit Ohio this past weekend and the melting of lots of ice and snow, the downtown Mansfield, Ohio area was the victim of flooding on Monday. I was downtown in the afternoon, well after most of the water had subsided, and got some photos with my HTC Incredible. Here are...

I love when the sun is shining and the sky is blue but the air has a bit of a chill to it. Being outside on a day like that can be incredibly refreshing. Today was such a day so it had to be enjoyed with a late morning / early afternoon walk through Glacier Ridge Metro Park in Plain City, OH...
