Roger's Junkyard on HWY 96 North

I truly like this photo fro a number of reason. I love the glass and the different shades of color on it, the way the clouds are reflected at the bottom and the way the crack spreads out almost all over the entire photograph. I wonder what hit it and broke it this way? It is neat to look through the glass and see the binder clip to the far upper right of the photo.

We had a very big weather system just miss the lakes area last night. I was able to point my camera South West and get some AMAZING lightening shots like this. No cloud to ground stuff, just mainly in the clouds. It was a great show that i got to witness. Watching a vulgar display of power like this makes me feel very small...

Taken using the Minolta 35-105mm Lens. I love the rust and peeling paint with the different fading colors and textures. I just wonder how many years this truck was ran and was a useful piece of equipment. How much money did the owner pay for it and then make with it. Why did it end up in Jasper? This photo is from the old B-75 Mack Truck.

Dead City...

Dead City..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Shot at location around Beaumont Texas.

Shot in the intersection of Crockett and Orleans Streets in Downtown Beaumont Texas. I was in the street for about 20 minutes and never had to move my Tripod once due to traffic. This was a hard shot to get because of the street lighting.

The building to the left with red brick is the old Haunted Hotel. It used to be a very scary haunted house. What a shame to have moved it from the down town area.
