Brilliant shots. And kudos to you for lugging that lunch box around with you on a hike. Tripod?

Thanks!

Yes, all were on a tripod except for pic 5, technically. That was at an overlook and there was a rock wall there with a nice flat top that I just set the camera on. I actually took a photo with my phone of that.

Sis in-law took this shot of the moon above the clouds over that South China Sea. She’ a pilot who flys freight from the U.S. to China.

I have some more from the NYC trip from a little over a week ago.

1. Jersey City from the 81st floor of World Trade Center building; as are the next three.

2. Brooklyn Bridge

3. The footprint of one of the former towers

4. Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island

5. Central Park from the 24th floor terrace at the New York Athletic Club

6. My view of town as I head back to New Jersey on the ferry to Weehawken. That crazy looking building is actually a movie theater, among other things. It's at about 58th Street, or 57th.

Went to Fallingwater today. Have some Germans in town and it was a perfect day to do something leisurely. Then we went down a few miles to Ohiopyle, where the whitewater starts, to have a picnic along the Yough. George Washington, in the 1750s, traversed the Youghiogheny River on a wooden raft but, he bailed (pussy 😂) before he got to the falls shown in picture #3.

EDIT: they are in the midst of a two-year renovation/preservation project.

A lot of historical places deteriorated.  Really cool places that could be bought pretty cheap at one time or another, except that it would cost over a million to renovate.

I’m not sure “it has been allowed” because every time I have been there it is getting some work done   I’ll have to research what you said
