While I was visiting Washington, DC in late October, I had a day where I was able to do some sightseeing. I was staying in Alexandria, VA and catching the metro at King Street station.
While I was standing on the elevated platform, I realized I had a great view of the masonic temple. I snapped a quick photo of it.
It is even more interesting given the recent interest in the Mason after Dan Brown released his latest book, "The Lost Symbol" this fall.
It has been awhile since I went to Tower City for lunch. The food court makes it easy to select from several types of food. I have walked through there more times in the 2.25 years I have worked downtown.
In all of that time, I never realized that you could see the Terminal Tower through the skylight. I did realize there was a skylight. It makes a cold winter day not feel as brutal when there is a little bit of sun.
I thought it was a pretty incredible view.
Ironically, I posted a photo of a reflection of the Terminal Tower at about the same time last year.
This weekend, I traveled to Oglebay Park in West Virginia for their annual OglebayFest. It is a craft fair, county fair and Oktoberfest all rolled into one.
The lodge itself is nestled in hills of West Virginia near Wheeling. The drive there was beautiful, but the location itself was incredible. It was the perfect time of year to enjoy the fall colors.
This tree was one of the first to really turn and leaped out of the landscape.
On the way to Oglebay in West Virginia, I was driving down US 77 through Ohio. The wind was really kicking up and the sky was so amazing, I snapped this photo with my cell phone.
Ironically, I thought this was the last time the trees would be green before the encroaching fall took over. When I sent this to TwitPic, I titled it the Last Summer Sky in Ohio.
Ironically, there is a construction sign in the bottom left corner - definitely a sign of summer in Ohio.
While I was at a concert during the Labor Day weekend, I snapped this photo of the bridge over the Cuyahoga.
It is a bridge that is no longer in use and is permanently in the up position. As a matter of fact, I took a picture of this bridge when I first started this blog.
The really odd thing about this photo is that it looks like a black and while picture, when it is really a color photo. Due to the time of day, a storm rolling in and the light behind it, the color of everything just seemed to get washed out.
This weekend, I spent Labor Day in Cleveland. I spent the time attending festivals and exploring the gems of the neighborhood. I provided real time updates via twitter, so I thought I would just blog about the posts from Twitter when I posted some groovy pics.
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did experiencing the city.
It might be the ocean air, but Mack and Manco has the best pizza! There is nothing like stopping for a saucy slice when you are cruising down the boardwalk.
