Ireland

Germany. I think ... Yeah, pretty sure.

Spain. Yeah, I remember this one! You know ... Spain, Windmills, Don Quixote ... Duh?

Amsterdam. Or Copenhagen ... Oh wait! It just hit me! Stockholm! Yeah, up in Sweden, that summer driving around Europe with my friend's son .... 2009. What a "Summer Vacation" that was! Crazy place. Yeah, this was in the main Square, and is rather LARGE! And there were several more all around! Yeah, it was something! Loved it!

Oh, you know, one of those "Famous Places", somewhere ... In Europe. How's that? I should remember, but yeah ... You know how that goes, if you know me ... I've been in a LOT of churches and palaces over the years! Who would of "thunk it"?

Bavaria, ahh, in the Alps. Probably Germany. Yes! In fact, GERMANY it is! I remember now! This was just outside our Bed and Breakfast, like I said, SOMEWHERE near "The Eagle's Nest"! But yeah, in the German Alps!

Again, Ireland. Maybe Dublin, but yeah, some city in Ireland, with a nice bridge! That I'm sure of!

Copenhagen, Denmark. Right in the Main Square, during "their Changing of the Guard" ceremony, or whatever they call it!

RULE NUMBER ONE: LOOK AT THE LIGHT. Other than that, yeah, Northern Europe, I'm pretty sure, but that's all I got. I just like how the MAN looks like one of those fence posts, or whatever they are! Hey! It's all about, say it with me ... THE LIGHT! Oh! And the EXPOSURE! Yeah ... Minus, Minus, Minus!

Germany! You know, right outside our Bed and Breakfast down near Garmisch, you know, before making it up to "The Eagle's Nest", where Hitler, and his buddies, used to "hang out" before the U.S. Military took over all their houses after the War, and changed it into a place for American Military personnel, and their families, to go and stay for, ahh, "Rest and Relaxation" ... Perfect.

Oh, you know ... I'm going with France, oh, you know, those "Famous" bridges that carry the water ... The Viaducts! That's it ... Can't remember the name of the place, I just knew I wanted to get there! Towards evening ... I had this "image" in my head way before I ever got there! My "favorite time" to be ANYWHERE with a camera, right BEFORE (and after!) sunset!!

Omaha Beach, France. Taken from the "back side", just to "keep in simple". And because I never shot it like this before! I believe the first time I ever drove over there was 6 Jun 85, you know, The 40th Anniversary of "D-Day". And yeah, like two months after getting over to Germany to live for three years! What an "introduction". Unreal.
But yes, I think this image was taken there later on, a couple of years later, in fact ... Or more. Yes, I've been back "a few times" ... And yeah, they all seem to "blend together" after awhile, or after a while, whichever is the correct usage in this case! My computer and I don't agree ... Good luck with that one!
Remember, I went to college for HISTORY, and then PHOTOGRAPHY, oh! And yes! How could I ever forget?
And yes, then finally, for SPECIAL EDUCATION.
Not ENGLISH!
There you go!
And yes, it's been awhile for all of them! And no! My computer didn't underline that last one (awhile), either!
Or THAT one!
Computers, who knows?
Anyway, yeah, you can just imagine how it is for me to be sitting here, typing away on this computer for HOURS!
It's NOT PRETTY, and I'll just leave it at that!
Grab your camera, and see what you can come up with! ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, and ANYWAY you can.
If it "catches your eye", photograph it. That simple.
Hope you have as much fun as I did, and still do!
Over, and over, and over, and over again!
Every time ... I'm just glad I have a good sense of humor, or I'd be crazier than I already am!
Enjoy your day.
I do.
See ya!
