Cleveland Coffee Cops

They are back. The coffee cops are back on the sidewalk. Ironically, there was a huge group of people hovering around the front door of the building have a post-lunch smoke.

I don't know how smokers can stand the cold.

Winter Blues in Tremont

As I was driving to work this morning, the street in front of me really caught my eye. It was the counterpart to the pink sky that we had the other morning.

I didn't bother to look at the preview of the photo. When I pulled it up online, I realized the street was bathed in a lovely blue hue.

Although I could 'correct' the light with photoshop, I decided to leave the photo untouched because it was so striking. It seemed to feel like the ethereal state of haze that I am in when I am on the way to work in the morning.

Pink Sky Over Tremont

The light in Cleveland this morning was almost mystical. There was a pink sky over St. Theodosius Russian Orthodox Church that looked like it was painted there.

I ended up snapping this photo with my camera phone because the battery on my other camera was dead. Unfortunate timing given the beautiful scene. However, I was grateful to get any aspect of it on film.

Disney - The Epcot Globe

While I was watching Extreme Makeover Home edition, they showed the Disney Epcot globe while the family was on vacation. I reminded me that I had not posted my photo from last week of the globe. I thought the whole park was in the globe. Little did I know about Epcot.

I can't believe it was a week ago that I was there in the sun, and it was snowing in Cleveland today.

Epcot Lake at Sundown

While on a recent work trip to Orlando, I was fortunate enough to squeeze in a visit to Disney Epcot before the conference started.

I had posted an image of the Terracotta Army a few days ago, but I really loved this image of the lake at Epcot at sundown. The lights for the China section of the park really make the the reflection on the water look lovely.

Nothing better than seeing pink clouds at sunset when you know your co-workers are brushing snow off of their cars.

Young Adam Goes Incognito

It is tough looking like Jude Law. When you are trying to enjoy a nice lunch in the sunshine with friends, you have to do something to try to stay off of the radar. Right?

Well, maybe that wasn't it. Maybe Young Adam just forgot his sunglasses and had to borrow mine. They look a little bit Elton John, but he can definitely pull of the retro look.

Terracotta Army Replica at Epcot

I am in Orlando for a Health Care Marketing Conference. I arrived a day before the conference and had some time to visit Disney Epcot. As part of the China exhibit, they had a replica of the Terracotta Army, also known as Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang the First Emperor of China.

The figures were discovered in 1974 and the current estimate of the total number of statues is around 8,000.

It is believed that the Emporer had the army of statues built to protect him in his final resting place.
