*Random Picture Thread*
I thought that we could use a place to post random and neat pictures that we would like to share with everyone.
I know that we have talented photographers out there and thought that this thread might be a great showcase for them
My contribution is the unique parking lot we have infront of our house.

Neat, Lizz. Great pictures. I'll glance and see if I can't find a couple to share.
Maybe I can put one in now ...

Love the pics, Lizz. I've read loads about the "noise of the cicadas, blah blah blah" in various books, but I've never actually seen a pic of one before. Cute little bug, ain't he?
Thanks for sharing, and thanks for the idea! ....... I'll try and find some I haven't posted before, too.

I've got a variety of pictures from around the buildings I manage, and these are a couple I've always liked. One is the view from inside an office. What a site!
Goes to show you how camera angle really does matter.

Just curious WI. In the 'Tower' pic,.... is there a double, floor level, door under that beam and is it a working lift beam?
(… and are you allowed to keep a fly rod in your locker?  )

You bet there are floor level double doors under that beam. A pair on each of the five levels. The doors are solid mahogany...painted green on the outside.  And the beam was used all day every day from 1864 to 1985, when the mill moved south in search of a more affordable environment.
I've yet to drop a line, but rumor has it that the fishing is great! We own three dams on the river, and there's a pin-truss bridge spanning it as well. All I need to do is make the time!
Here's a view from the front; the doors are in the background. My office is behind the two windows to the right.

Yesterday, I took a drive and ended in E. Peoria looking across the Illinois River towards Peoria. I had my camera and took several pictures of the skyline and when I got home ... I combined three into something of a panorama shot. Originally 5487 x 1809 pixels ... it was too large to upload, so, I kept reducing it down until it was under 100K.
So, here it is, one of my first attempts at merging pictures into a panoramic shot ...
The second picture is of one of the smallest "tow boats" I've seen on the river. Kind of a misnomer since they really push the barges. Anyway. It was kind of cute.
