Aerial photograph of a fire resulting from a gas storage explosion

December 31, 2007 - January 6, 2008

"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.

Aerial photograph of the new Ohio Union under construction in Columbus

December 24-30, 2007

"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.

Aerial photograph of a wintery lake and countryside

December 17-23, 2007

"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.

Aerial photograph of a wintry lake and marina

December 10-16, 2007

"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!

Aerial photograph of a "Big Box" retail shopping center

December 3-9, 2007

"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!

Aerial photograph of golf course near Reminderville, Ohio

November 26 - December 2, 2007

"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?

Aerial photograph of bridge over a river, train tracks, and fall trees

November 19-25, 2007

"Triple Play"

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

Aerial photograph of a ship on Lake Erie

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.

Aerial photograph of a retail shopping center near Pittsburgh, PA

November 5-11, 2007

"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...

Aerial photograph of a Bald Eagle flying in Ohio

October 22-28, 2007

"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...

                                           Bridge, the Detroit River, Belle Isle, and Windsor, Ontario, Canada

October 15-21, 2007

"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.

Aerial photograph of Kent State University Campus in Kent, OH

October 8-14, 2007

"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...)

Aerial photograph of downtown Tallmadge, Ohio

Aerial photograph of the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio

September 3-9, 2007

"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.

Aerial photograph of a large train yard near Pittsburgh, PA

August 13-19, 2007

August 6-12, 2007

"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.

Aerial photograph of a tire testing facility near Akron, OH

July 30 - Aug 5, 2007

"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.

July 23-29, 2007
