This weekend we headed up to Michigan for my wife’s birthday. It’s been a while since I have been up there. I was looking forward to it until I experienced 40+ mile an hour sustained winds across the freeway, with snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Here in Indiana, we were getting inches of rain by…

I took a trip northwest on February 20, 2023 to visit some of our regional covered bridges. I saw 5 of them in a 3 hour period, as they were very close together. The Mansfield Covered Bridge The Mansfield Covered Bridge is a Double Burr Arch double span truss bridge located on Mansfield Road (historic)…

This past week was full of activity. On Monday, February 20, I visited five of the covered bridges north of Brazil Indiana. The first place I went, was the Mansfield covered bridge and boardwalk. It’s incredibly long and obviously well constructed. Apparently the mill nearby had a Millwheel for a long time, but it fell…

Many people have asked me why I don’t post pictures for sale. To be perfectly honest, I was either too busy or too lazy. Also, there’s a slight learning curve. Now we have over 20 pictures, live, and even a discounted set of pictures. All of them are available by clicking the description and all…

In the last two months, I have been studying very hard to get my FAA part 107 certification. This certification is necessary if I want to ever make money doing drone work. I am pleased to report that, as of 27 January, I am now certified, and I can charge ridiculous sums of money to…

Gatlinburg is obviously one of the most beautiful places to visit in the fall. I happened to be able to take my In-Laws on a trip down there, to enjoy the fall foliage and the town. None of us had ever been to Gatlinburg, and quite frankly I was not exactly “looking forward” to going…

I was at the tulip trestle today about 4 PM, getting some video and pictures with the beautiful fall foliage. I think another week and it will probably be at peak color. Located east of Bloomfield and west of Solsberry near the community of Tulip, the 2,307 feet long and 157 feet tall steel-girded railroad…

Yesterday I had every intention of just getting some good videos of the beauty of the fall leaves against the backdrop of the glassy smooth lake but unexpectedly I found myself recording the practice session of the Indiana University women’s rowing team. I do hope that they see this video and enjoy it

On Saturday October 1, I finally tackled a project I had been thinking about for some time. I wanted to fly around some of my favorite bridges that crossed the Ohio River between Indiana and Kentucky. The video below is a compilation of all of the bridges i visited on Saturday October 1. Lewis and…
