So a week ago on Thursday the site I am contracted to came into my office right about closing time and informed me that they were not extending my contract (even though they had committed to a term thru the end of the year!)!!! ***????
So this past week I had the chance (between job hunting) to go for some nice rides thru the farming/horse country of Northern VA during a period of some truly excellent weather, clear blue skies, moderate temps and no traffic along some of my favorite back roads, being as everyone else was at work! As it turns out this past friday they realized that they had "made a mistake" and signed the extension so Monday I go back to work, oh well good and bad I guess! Ha Ha!
So here is a compilation of pics from those rides, fall colors are just starting to make their appearance, even in low lands of Northern Va
just for heck of it I played a bit with the mapping of the HDR image on this image
Sometimes I try to look at things from a differant viewpoint, sometimes it works, sometimes not.. you decide..
old rusting machinery has always been something I enjoy photographing something about the story they tell of days gone by, just like old homes and barns
Here again I played with the image a bit, in the first I lightened the darker areas, the second is before the additional editing
Who says an NT can't do a little dirt???
Nice to see the rivers and streams running clear again after all the rain we've have around here!
Note the bench on the right side of the creek, its in a yard of a nice old home right along the creek, damn I jealous (of the location of this home, that is, not the bench!)!
Enjoy!
