St Louis Arch

I was recently in St Louis for the first time and I took a few shots of the Arch.

The first three are the museum under the arch.

The next few are the arch.

The last one is a power company near by.

A Much Needed Vacation

Charleston, SC.

Last week my girlfriend and I took a much needed vacation away from Cincinnati.

We went to Charleston, South Carolina, neither one of us had ever been there.

It's a really neat place with a lot of history and a lot of churches. 

The people were super friendly and there is a ton of stuff to do.

 

1940s Throw Back

The Cincinnati Museum Center recently held a Tribute to the 1940s.

They had a Vintage car show, Vintage Military gear, 

a course on hair styles and make-up from the era 

and a big band in a room full of swing dancers.

Unfortunately I missed going Saturday,
which was the day most of the cars were there, 

but i still enjoyed it and here are a few shots i got.

Car Shots

I had a few hours to kill today, so I decided to get a few shots of my car.

Forgotten Wheels

 I came across these wheels lost and forgotten in the woods.

 

 

 

 

Cincinnati Zoo

On Monday I took a trip to the Cincinnati Zoo. 

It was 100 degree and the animals weren't very active.

I don't blame them but here are a few shots.

 

  

 

 

Memphis Belle: B-17 Flying Fortress

Last week The Memphis Belle B-17 Flying Fortress 

was at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati, Oh.

For $475 you could go for a flight in this monster, 

Unfortunately I did not have the money to do so, 

nor was i able to get off work in time to take a tour around or inside the plane. 

These pictures were taken through the fence,

since i did not want to completely miss the behemoth.

The Liberty Foundation operates this piece of history
and its currently in the beginning of a 50 state tour.
They also have a P-40 along with this aircraft and I unfortunately miss that also.
If you would like to see The Memphis Belle visit The Liberty Foundation
to see if it will be making a stop near you.

Luckily for everyone in Cincinnati another B-17 will be back in September thanks to the B-17 Tour.
