MINISTRY--Everyday Is Like Halloween (12 inch mix)

I am not sure that this is an official video. Does anyone have an idea about this one?

Thrill Kill Kult - And This is What the Devil Does

WOW!! I first saw this video on Much Music out of Canada when i was in High school. We had a big old C-Band satellite and got Much Music long time ago in the late 1980s. I got to see them in concert some years later in Beaumont Texas.

The Bollock Brothers - Harley David

I never knew that their was a video for this track!! It reminds me of Starz in Louisiana back in the late 80s.

WOW What a BLAST FROM THE PAST!!

Moby - New Dawn Fades(Live)

This is an incredible cover of the Joy Division song. He also did a version of this track for the movie Heat.

New Order - True Faith

Perhaps one of the most instrumental music videos in my life. 1987 is when this came out.

My musical transformation came about when i went to Florida with my grandparents in 1983 and my cousin that lived in Houston came with us. She listened to music that i fell in love with.

The 80's Music mad a bid impact in my life and changed me forever...

I think this photo is a good example of Bokeh. Everything is out of focus except the flower. The Depth of Field is shallow and i shot it this way on purpose.

I love how the center flower is in focus and all the rest are out of focus. The sun was hitting the center flower and it really brings out the color.

Located at a local park i drove by today. You can see the beetle on the flower which is strange being on a Marigold. They usually do not attract bugs or insects of any kind. I think that the Bokeh is fine on this photo.

Mountain Biking Wednesday

For any of you that live in the St Louis area, we are going to SIUE to ride Wednesday evening at 6pm

If you live in the area, a good site to check out is GORC

Type: Multiple Loops

Description:
This trail system is made up of nearly 8 miles of tight, twisty, all-dirt singletrack in 4 separate trails, with a 5th trail in the works. Modest elevation gain, thick forest, and smooth hardpack make for rides which will satisfy every rider from beginner to advanced. The trails were designed in such a way that they would be a place not only for beginners to try out mountain biking, but also to allow more advanced riders an opportunity to test their bike handling skills by riding the narrow trails at a more rapid pace.

They are built partially on the site of an old outdoor amphitheater from the 1970’s, better known as the "Mississippi River Festival." The trails are easily accessible from the numerous bike paths that intertwine the Metro-East, so if you live in the area, driving to the trails is not necessarily required. While all the trails are designed to IMBA standards, because of the all-dirt surface, it is recommended that you not ride these trails immediately following rain.

Please download a map and take it with you, so you will be able to find all the loops, as they are spread out among numerous cross-country running trails.

Directions:
Take hwy 255 North past Interstate 270, to New Poag Road. Turn Right or East at the end of the exit ramp. Stay on New Poag Road until the first intersection with a 4 way stop sign. This will be University Drive. Turn Right onto University Drive. The road will immediately bend to the left, at the end of the bend on your right is a gravel road, turn onto the gravel road. Follow the rock road past the hedgerow on the left, the road will make a 90 Degree turn to the right and then back to the left, then it will dead end. The Northernmost Trailhead is located at the 90 degree corner of the woods near that dead end.

I love her reflection in the glass I used the "Back Flash" for this photo as well. i like to use it in most of my photography. The contrast between her and the wall is very good and i love her white paws on the window ledge.
