Stairway to the Sky

10/3/10 - Day 289
Climbed up to the remains of Ancient Thera today. This short stairway, dated from the 2nd century B.C., provided another amazing view.

Cookie Tosser

9/6/10 - Day 262
Taken today at Buffalo Grove Days, our community festival, for Daily Shoot assignment #295: "Welcome the new week (and holiday in the US) by making a bright cheery photo outdoors and posting it today."

Thirsty

9/4/10 - Day 260
Of all days for the Daily Shoot guys to use my suggestion for DS #293: "Water sustains life.  Color enhances life.  Make a photo today combining color and water."  I literally had only 30 minutes all day to take some shots.  This isn't originally what I had in mind when I made the suggestion, but given the time constraints today, it will have to do.

Hole in the Grass to the Sky

8/21/10 - Day 246
There are many days when it is tough to get one shot, but today I had the opportunity for two. I used this shot for today's Daily Shoot assignment #279: "Make a photograph from a high point of view. Get on top of a building, use a ladder, or just look down at a small object."  Thought it was a cool image so decided to upload to P365 as well.

Under the Weeping Willow

8/5/10 - Day 230
On the back nine at Stanford University Golf Course stands this mighty weeping willow tree.  I hit my ball right into it...and discovered the photo op when searching.

Window to the Sky

5/29/10 - Day 162
Picture perfect day in Chicago, so the Daily Shoot assignment, "Look up today and make a photograph of the sky. Cloudy, clear, or somewhere in between... ", works well.
