Some time ago, I put out a post about taking time to see the affects of our choices in our past. (That post is here) That post focused more on the bad choices and ugly part of our past.
Recently, some friends have been challenging me on taking time to see the good things also. There is a balance that should be had in times of retrospect. It is easy to hold one side or the other.

The idea was to take pictures based on the hymn How Great Thou Art. Here is what I came up with.

Consider all the worlds thy hands have made
I hear the rolling thunder
When through the woods and forest glades...
...I wander
I look down from lofty mountain grandeur

It is always good to get together. A couple of them are musically inclined, so there is always songs and solos between the bouts of gaiety and laughter. I want to say thanks to all my peeps that keep me sane. You are much appreciated.

Hey guys, been a while. Thought I would check in with a few pictures that I took today. It has been a fairly dreary winter thus far. Just cold and wet. Not even any good snow to enjoy. Today, I thought I would try a different perspective on downtown. Hope you like.
Of course, walking downtown always means watching people...

The group was somewhat different. It was kind of a modern bluegrass.

Several times I have met people while out taking pictures. These folks have either asked me to take their picture or let me take it when I asked. The first one was a homeless man who called himself "Conan". I called this guy the "guitar man". He played country music and made up songs about passer's by.

I recently saw a picture that I really liked of downtown Chattanooga. I thought I would try to reproduce it. Since my version was timed at sunset/dusk, I needed to be on site well ahead of time to make sure I didn't miss it. Since I was there, I took a picture of some leaves on the walkway...

So, if you have peaked at the file name of the picture, you will have a pretty good idea that this is not one of mine. It was taken by Trey Ratliffe. His site is www.stuckincustoms.com. He does some amazing work with standard and HDR photography. Some of his work will really amaze you. This particular image was taken in Chile. The mountains you see in the background are the Andes.
