Panoramic Photography

June 23rd, 2011 No comments

The other day I discovered a new bug… er’ I mean feature on my phone… The ability to do panoramic photography… but the weather stunk so I had to wait till today to try it out…  I went to the Old Market section of Omaha, down by the riverfront to check out the flooding, and over by the TD Ameritrade Stadium while the Virginia and California College World Series game was underway. So… here’s a few panoramic pics and a little explanation on what’s in them.

This horse and buggy is shaped like a pumpkin.  I imagine at night they light it up and it probably looks awesome.

This is lake in a park near the river.

The Missouri River about 12 feet higher than normal.  I was here a couple of weeks ago and the lower walkway was about 5 feet above the water level.  The current was just amazing.

This is the front of TD Ameritrade Stadium, The new home of the College World Series.

This is about a 180 degree pan across the street from the first pan with the horse and buggy.

Pretty awesome capability in the new phone… I’m impressed, I hope you like it too.

House Remodel Project

June 12th, 2011 No comments

In July of 2004 we set out to pull up the parquet floors and put white tile down.  after 7 years I kind of regret taking the wood up but what’s done is done.  We took a lot of pictures during the process but didn’t think to do before and after pictures.  I’ve had them online before, but let the hosting service lapse so I’m putting them back online in the same style as I did the Alaska trip.
