Under the Lions Gate Bridge

I'm going back to the Lions Gate Bridge Vancouver for this week's Scenic Sunday, this time viewing it from underneath. Obviously I'll also be linking this to Sunday Bridges.

I like finding unusual views of well-known places!

Sunset

This week's PicStory meme has as its theme Sunrise or Sunset, so I thought I'd combine it with the Skywatch Friday meme and post a recent sunset photo taken from my back deck.

I do love the sunrises and sunsets we sometimes see here!

Local Fall Color

I wasn't able to get into the mountains to see the fall color this weekend due to work. But I did get to walk around our local park, so here are a couple of shots from there taken on Friday evening.

And that's my part of Our World this week, and also my post for Watery Wednesday. Thanks to Arija, Gattina, Lady Fi, Sylvia, and Sandy for running this fabulous meme!

1970s Bruges

For this month's Sunday Scans entry, here's an early 1970s photo from Bruges, Belgium.

I can't tell you more than that.

Palmer Park Rocks

For Scenic Sunday this week, I'm focusing on some rock formations in Palmer Park, one of the many parks in Colorado Springs.

I love looking up at the spires.

I also love the contrasts of color between the rocks, the sky, and the pine trees.

And when the sun hits them, the rocks themselves can come alive with color.

This is a nice place to walk around in the winter as it's relatively low-altitude, at least for this area. In fact, these shots were taken last December.

Forked Lightning

I can't go too many weeks without posting a lightning shot for Skywatch Friday, so here's one I rather liked.

And there's lots more still to come!

Air Force Football

I was recently at an Air Force Academy football game.

It's always a fun thing to see, even though I'm not particularly interested in watching sports. There are interesting traditions, such as cadets doing push-ups whenever Air Force scores, one per point. In a game like this where we scored over 30 points, that's a lot of push-ups!

And of course military bands and the like are always a pleasure to watch (and photograph).

And that's part of Our World this week, and all the colors make it my entry for PicStory's "color" theme this week!
