Lake Erie Sunset

Just a half mile away from Jono and Sam's place is Lakewood Park which gives this wonderful view of the lake and the chance to see some nice sunsets. Michael and I got to see this great sunset this past weekend.

Chicago from the air

A shot from the air back earlier in the year with a morning flight from Midway.

Holland, Michigan

Another shot from a trip earlier this year. Took a weekend visit to Holland, Michigan and was very impressed with the downtown area. Some great craft beer breweries and shops to visit. Missed the peak of the famous tulip festival, but enjoyed the visit, nonetheless.

St Alphonsus Church in Lakeview

I was meeting Nina and the family in Lakeview earlier this year and stepped into Saint Alphonsus Church and just wow. It is a beautiful church on the outside but the inside is just marvelous. This church apparently has German and Polish (of course) roots and is still very popular for its Octoberfest celebration. When I walked in, I didn't expect to see so much blue. I am sure it is super popular for weddings but it will take over 1,000 people to fill it up so you better have a big wedding planned.

Jousting at the Bristol Renaissance Faire

A little filter play with a shot of a knight in shiny armor jousting at the Bristol Renaissance Faire this past summer.

Exercise while drinking? A new sport?

Not sure why this Nashville Pedal Tavern is being filmed. Is there a TV show with pedal taverns as a theme? Or maybe it is an episode for The Bachelor as there is one guy in a suit (but also a guy with a cowboy hat sitting across from him). Anyway, they seemed to be having fun and getting in a workout at the same time.

Bank to Country Western Bar in Nashville

Repurposed. An old bank building in Nashville on the strip and now a honky-tonk dance club. Not sure which use is better but the latter is certainly louder!!!
