The Weekend in Black and White: Winding Tracks

I've always been fascinated by train tracks but am usually not in a good spot to photograph them. I managed some quick shots this week, although I wasn't entirely satisfied with what I got.

SkyWatch Friday: Quickly Changing Skies

Monday was almost like summer with bright blue skies and warm temperatures.

I had to work at my office in Durham instead of from home as I usually do which gave me some different views during lunch.

It was very windy but since it was warm the wind felt good.

I knew a cold front was going to blow through that night and bring storms which it did.

Driving to work Tuesday morning the traffic was not only stalled for HOURS but they ended up closing the highway I was on, and I had to find an alternate route.

By the time I took a break after I finally made it to the office, it had stopped raining and the sky was a mix of clouds and blue.

It was amazing how fast the weather changed and how pretty the sky became.

I had fun walking around and taking pictures before going back inside for some tedious work.

The drive home was pleasant and the opposite of the ordeal of driving to work.

Wednesday was a beautiful day. Chilly but sunny.

As much as I prefer working at home, sometimes I do like the different photo ops I get when I commute to Durham.

ABC Wednesday: L is for Lines

There are loads of lines in the shot below. Long lines, wide lines, little lines, literal lines and reflected lines.

I was shooting the shot above from the third floor of the building in the shot below. The building I was shooting from also has lots of lines. Lines between bricks and lines across windows and power lines in the corner.

Update, I did my line post over the weekend from Friday shots knowing I'd be too busy to do much this week. However, I want to add one shot of the same building above which I took Monday when I went back to Durham, NC, U.S. for better shots, oops I mean to work at the office. Besides the building lines you can see the yellow road lines.

The long stairwell below has blue lines and more of the brick and window lines can be seen too.

In the next shot you can see a close up of the building lines and also coiled power lines.

Lets look at one last shot with lots of lines. I may be late visiting this week depending on work but I'll catch you lovely people when I can.
