Spring Break Overview

As Spring Break ends tonight and Classes begin tomorrow morning I think about what I have done the past week. My dad and I drove 2800 miles in 6 days averaging 467 miles a day. This was actually more fun than it sounds. We got as far south and east as Tallahassee Florida. With the exception of adding 1 qt of oil the A8 worked wonderfully. I came to realize that some of the stereo types that are though of about the south sadly still exist today.

It was amazing to me that the speed limits meant nothing to the persons driving on the interstate. A speed limit of 70mph really means 80mph and if your doing 80mph your in the slow lane. Traffic moved between 85-90 and at times faster. This combined with the very fast lane changes leaving little room for error makes me think that everyone thinks they are a driver for NASCAR. Lets just say that the German A8 had no problem keeping up with the NASCAR fans.
Stopping in Memphis on the way home was fun. I took a tour of Gibson Guitars and saw how they were made. I always love to see all that goes into a product or item. I also took a tour of Sun Studios. This is where Elvis, BB King, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee and many other artists recorded at. It was neat to see all of this because I had learned about it in my History of Rock and Roll class this semester.

Here are some photos of the trip. Facebook viewers you must got to my webpage to view the photos. Http://blog.LiquidRetro.Net

Here is the route of where we went.

Multi-Me

I ran across the flickr photogroup called Clone Meets Clone and it is a gallery of people that have done multiplicity type of photos. I decided to try one this afternoon and this is what I came up with.

This is fun to do and to make.  Look for more multiplicity shots soon.

Photos from London, England and Trooping the Colour (Gallery 2)

Much of the same from the last post but with more photos. This summer in June I went to Europe for summer vacation and one of the places I visited was London, England. I posted the photos from Paris, France earlier. I have had the photos processed for a while now but only recently put them online. This post has some unique photos. My flight left late in the day my last day in London. The timing and location I was staying happened to work very well because of the Trooping the Colour parade. This military parade has come too celebrated the Queen Elizabeth II birthday. It was a very cool experience and I was about 15 feet from the Queen of England.

Guardians of Freedom Airshow 2006 Photos

A few weeks ago, I went to the Guardians of Freedom Air show 2006 at the Lincoln, NE airport.  It was a great show.  There were two aerobatic teams including the Red Barron flight team and the Oracle Challenge.  The main even was the US Navy’s Blue Angels.  They put on an amazing show and I was able to get some nice photos of the fighter planes.  Enjoy the photos.

Over the next week, I should be able to put online the photos from London, England that I took this summer.
