Just messing around, no serious stuff by any means, but sure fun, and after the had gone down, we spooked ourselves! The older of the two just turned 15 the day before.

At a neat little ghost town near Zion National Park.

These were all the shots with the D300 set to some goofy WB, and all the colors were way off.

    Looks like you had a fun time. I enjoyed the "feeding the cow" photo. And, that last one - wow that light (and photo) is just wonderful!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks, that mountain for just a few short minutes lit up bright red and was hoping to capture it.

    It was later than it looks, so with about an 8 sec. exposure, my little one stood really still as the other one only stood there for about two seconds than walked right out without a trace.

    This makes me wish that we had a good ghost town nearby in VA. The big question is how much did you have to bribe your daughter to stand still for 8 seconds? :D

    They were pretty excited to do it. So they did good.

    I'd trade you locations any time. This last summer we came out to the Jamestown celebrations, then stayed in Cape Charles then went through the tunnel!thumb.gif Thats some neat country out there and a lot of history.

    Out here, a 120 year old house or building is old old old!

    Try getting through any of the tunnels between 4:30PM and 6:30PM then tell me how wonderful it is. Aside from the tunnel traffic and the yearly threat of hurricane, it is pretty nice around here....

    Oh, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Just thinking that if we added a ghost town to the mix, we would have it all. :D Maybe I need to head up to one of the old coal mining towns instead...

    I was at Fort Monroe for a couple of years in the early 70's. In those two years we had one hurricane hit near us and one snow storm (1" a storm?).

    Have only been back a couple of times since. Hope to make it this summer when we (hopefully) head to the DC area. It really used to be nice, have no idea how it is now... Probably a lot more crowded.
