On one of my trips home a connecting flight was delayed. Actually on dozens and dozens of flights home, but I digress. On this particular delay I had the presence of mind to pull out my camera as I’ve always wanted to capture this walkway between D and C terminals in the Dallas / Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). To get to another terminal travelers are instructed to take the sky-link tram, however to stretch your legs this is a pleasant walk and as you can see somewhat removed from the crowds. The moving walkway is about a quarter of a mile long so if you prefer you can just relax. It’s an option if you’re ever passing through because the odds are, …you’ll have the time.
On this evening while walking to my hotel I captured this photo of the Sun Belt Cookery which is in the Coal Harbour section of Vancouver. I was attracted to the architecture of this however I was originally out to take pictures of the Cherry Blossoms and, as is so often the case, got distracted. Nonetheless you’ll notice a small Cherry tree full of blossoms in the upper left and in some small way I can say that my mission was accomplished, albeit unintended. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
This is another sunset at Lost Lagoon in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. What captivated me was that in the heart of this city, not a single person stopped here to enjoy the sunset except these two geese. Frankly, they looked quite content to be here and didn’t mind one bit that I was taking their picture, or at least the picture of the sunset with them in it. Geese are people too, right?
In St. Augustine at the Lightner Museum there is a cafe built inside a pool. The pool was build in 1889 as part of the Hotel Alcazar and in it’s time was the largest indoor pool in the world. It’s an unusual sight to be sure and on the day we arrived at the peak of the season we didn’t have a reservation. However, from what I could see there are few cafes that can compete with the ambiance as you are surrounded by priceless artifacts from the museum. Swim suits not required.
Across the river from Palmetto where I live is the town of Bradenton Florida. A little while back the city decided to improve this walkway along the Manatee River. It now hosts food festivals, jazz concerts and a skateboard park. On this day I arrived around sunset to capture the modern, yet relaxed feeling of the place where families love to stroll and I’ll go to walk my dogs or just enjoy the eclectic atmosphere.
