Our pictures look best when viewed on a properly calibrated monitor. While
not a true calibration, a quick and easy way to get close is to adjust your
monitor until you can see all eleven (11) distinct shades of gray in the

"Starting the New Year with a Bang"
We arrived after the explosion that caused this dramatic fire
and billowing smoke (thankfully!) but the evidence is clear that
it was a powerful one. A crumpled green storage tank can be seen
in the upper left corner of the photo across the road and several
hundred feet away from where it once stood... Luckily, there were
no reports of any injuries.

"New Ohio Union"
The Ohio State University has begun construction on a new student
union. The Ohio Union will face High Street on the east edge of campus.
"The Oval" is visible in the upper right of the photo.
At the top of The Oval (the west end...) sits the library - which
appears to be undergoing some remodeling itself.

"Cold Water, Cold Skies"
The wide white snow bands around this lake are due to the low water
levels brought on by the drought in the midwest this past summer.
There is no vegetation for the snow to "hide" in, making
it appear smooth and bright.

"Closed for the Season"
The boats have been pulled out and the marina has closed for the winter. It's
time to think about ice skating and hot chocolate - not water skiing and frozen
drinks! Don't worry though, the days are going to start getting longer again
soon!

"Only How Many Days Left?"
Retailers are keeping busy this time of year. Parking lots are full and checkout
lines are long. Get in early and often for the best selection and the best sales!

"The Weather Outside..."
The days are getting shorter and the weather is turning cold. Maybe this view
of a nice green golf course is in more of your dreams than sugar plums?

"Triple Play"
The long shadows of late fall and a very still river gave us a rare view
of this bridge in triplicate.

November 12-18, 2007
"Lonely Boat"
Generally, we don't like to take pictures into the sun, but in this case, it
gives the picture a whole bunch of interesting texture. The light bounces off
the ripples of a calm Lake Erie and the wake of the freighter "John G Munson"
of the Great Lakes Fleet as it passes near South Bass Island to give us the
effect.

"Prepare to Shop!"
If only you could reserve your parking place now! With the holiday season just
around the corner, the parking lots at retail shopping centers and restaurants
like these near Pittsburgh are going to be much more full. "Black Friday"
(the day after Thanksgiving) is less than 3 weeks away...

"Color, Color Everywhere"
This is Meander Creek Reservoir, just west of Youngstown, Ohio. This photo was taken
near the peak of fall color at the end of October. The town of Mineral Ridge is on
the right (east) side of the picture.

"Bird's Eye View"
Part of flying is being aware of your surroundings. You always have to be on the
lookout for other air traffic - whether they have a propeller or feathers. We see
birds quite often, but it is rare to get a "bird's eye view" of a bald
eagle! We felt this rare sighting was worth sharing. The
larger version of this photo is not watermarked - it is hereby released as
public domain...

"Downtown Motown"
Downtown Detroit, Michigan, lies on the west side of the Detroit River. On
the east side lies Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Connecting the two is the
Ambassador Bridge - an impressive structure with an
interesting history. Belle Isle, a 983-acre island and
"crown jewel of Detroit's public park system," is visible towards
the top-right corner of the photo. More information about Belle Isle can
be found here.

"Flashes Country"
The Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, features several unique buildings
on its beautiful campus. The distinctive blue track stands out from the
air - I just hope they never make the football field turf blue like that
school out west... (The football stadium is not shown in this picture,
but we do have photographs of it...)

"For Sale By Owner"
Anyone want to buy a roller coaster? Geauga Lake amusement park near
Aurora, Ohio, recently announced that they will become a water park
attaction exclusively. "Wildwater Kingdom" is not shown in
this picture (but we do have photos of it!), but according to
Geauga Lake's official
website, it has become the favorite part of the park for visitors.

"Monumental Island"
Put-In-Bay, Ohio, is located on South Bass Island in Lake Erie and
is a popular summer resort destination. The main landmark on the island is
Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial. The monument
commemorates the Battle of Lake Erie fought during the War of 1812.

"Where Spiderman Lives?"
Some towns have a more distinct center than others. Tallmadge, Ohio,
is definitely one of those towns. The Reverend David Bacon founded
Tallmadge in 1807 and laid out the
"hub and spoke" system as was typical in the early 19th
century.

"Four Score and Seven Years Ago..."
This is not just scenic countryside - this is Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania, the site of the pivotal Civl War battle fought on July 1-3, 1863.
In the foreground are Devil's Den and Little Round Top. Moving towards
the town of Gettysburg to the north, you can see the Pennsylvania Memorial.

"The Need for Speed"
The Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, is as challenging as it is
beautiful. It is a favorite natural terrain road course among drivers from
many different racing series. On July 29, 2007, open wheel racing
returned to Mid-Ohio after a several year hiatus. A record crowd witnessed
Scott Dixon win over 2007 Indianapolis 500 winner and eventual 2007
IndyCar series champion Dario Franchitti.

"Buckeye Country"
College football is back this weekend! In the full resolution
version of this photo of Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, not only can you see
the Buckeyes' offensive and defensive formations during an inter-squad scrimmage,
but you can easily count the spectators in the stands.
(We're sorry, but the full res version is not for sale to customers in Ann Arbor until
December!)

"Capitol City"
Downtown Columbus, Ohio, is home of the Ohio Statehouse. Capitol Square offers a nice green oasis
in the midst of the downtown high-rises. Just a block and a half away to the west
is the Scioto River.

"Curves and Lines"
Huge train yards such as this one near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, look really cool from the
air. You can almost understand what all of those switches and signals are doing from this
unique perspective.

"Shrine"
The Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, is busy with activity prior to the
2007 induction ceremony. The stage was set in Fawcett Stadium for the ceremony on Saturday
evening. By 8 pm Sunday night, however, the stage and field seating had all been removed
for the Hall of Fame Game, which featured the Steelers and the Saints this year.

"Slip and Slide for Safety"
Much bigger than a track built for racing, this tire testing facility
features long straight-a-ways, a variety of wide turns, and a huge concrete
apron that can be flooded with water (as seen here - the tiny dot you see is
an SUV) to simulate the somewhat less exciting driving that most of us
experience day to day.

"Rubber City"
Downtown Akron, Ohio, features several interesting landmarks, including Quaker Square, the

(the AA affiliate of the Cleveland Indians).

"Danger Zone"
If you've ever navigated this intersection (I-270 and I-71 on the north side
of Columbus, Ohio), you will surely appreciate the new, safer design that is taking shape.

July 2-8, 2007
"Watch Out for Giant Bears"
Planning a Forth of July Picnic? You could fit a real feast into the
7-story building that is the World's Largest Basket. It is an unusual
site from any perspective, but from the air, it's almost surreal!

"The Next Best Thing to Flying"
The many roller coasters in beautiful Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, truly make it The Roller Coaster Capital of the World!

Holiday Lakes Willard, Ohio
May 28 - June 3, 2007
"Slow Moving Vehicle"
Ohio has a very large Amish population. Seeing a horse and buggy from a 230-horsepower
airplane always seems a bit odd. Another name for this photo could have been "Same
Planet, Different World".
May 21-27, 2007
"Condition Orange"
Interstate 71 and Interstate 76 Ramp Construction
