Four Thunderbirds F-16 fighter jets fly in a tight formation against a backdrop of blue sky and white clouds. The Thunderbirds, a flight demonstration unit of the United States Air Force, were performing at the Sound of Speed Airshow at Rosecrans Memorial Airport in St. Joseph, Missouri.

US Post Office – Atchison, KS
The Atchison, KS Post Office is a historic stone building with round towers and arched windows stands prominently at the corner of 7th Street and Kansas Avenue.
According to the Visit Atchison Kansas Facebook Page – “Built in 1894, the Atchison Post Office is one of the most magnificent post offices in the Midwest. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was dedicated in honor of Atchison native, Amelia Earhart in 2018. The building still remarkably resembles how it looked over a hundred years ago.”
I took a few shots of this and other historic buildings in Atchison on a visit back in September.

A Bold Stand
A Wisconsin farm field provides a lush green foreground to a fence row of trees showcasing vibrant autumn colors of red, orange, and yellow. Overcast skies add a dramatic contrast to the vivid hues of the foliage.

Straining to Interpret the Sky
Vibrant hues of orange and pink blend across the sky just before the sun rises over a calm Lake Michigan at Kewaunee, WI. The lighthouse stands alone on the horizon, silhouetted against the colorful backdrop.
This is a large image – vertical panorama. It was the only way I could fit the substantial lake foreground and the expansive sky into the frame.

Lethal Apparition – B-2 Spirit
The Northrup B-2 Spirit was flying low at the Sound of Speed Airshow. This American heavy, strategic aircraft is known as the Stealth Bomber. It features low-observable stealth technology designed to penetrate dense anti-aircraft defenses.
It is incredible to witness one fly by. Very quiet on approach and it just seems crazy that this odd shaped thing can be airborne, much less attain a top speed of 628mph.

Air Show Wall of Fire
The “wall of fire” provided a dramatic backdrop to the Thunderbird’s F-16C Fighting Falcons at the Sound of Speed Airshow at Rosecrans Memorial Airport in St. Joseph, MO.
Tora, Tora, Tora – a reenactment of the bombing of Pearl Harbor – uses pyrotechnics to simulate the dropping of bombs from vintage warbirds and the wall of fire is their finale.
The Unite States Air Force air demonstration squadron Thunderbird jets are parked on the tarmac awaiting their part in the airshow. Notice the Thunderbird’s crew member who is kneeling to take a photo of this cool (or should I say, HOT!) moment.

Reflecting On the Mighty Mo
This is a pleasant, peaceful view of the Missouri River – standing on the Nebraska shore, viewing the Missouri shore. The cloud reflections in the water are what inspired me to take this shot. The tan areas in the foreground are where sunlight is filtering through the trees above, revealing the true color of the water.
We took a little trip to Indian Cave State Park. It’s located in the southeastern part of Nebraska, near Shubert. This photo was taken at the parking area of the Indian Cave.
This is not the greatest image, technically. I took this image with a wide, fisheye, lens – too get as much in the shot as I could. I also took three bracketed shots, hand-held, which gave me the ability to even out the bright sky and clouds with the dark, shaded foreground. However, by not having the camera on a firm tripod, this image is not as sharp as I would like.

Blue Skies and Towering Heights
Devil’s Tower Monument in Wyoming is an impressive, towering rock formation. It is quite majestic against a backdrop of blue sky and scattered clouds. Pine trees and rocky terrain provide a contrast to the vertical columns of this geological marvel.
On our trip to South Dakota, we slipped across the border to visit this popular attraction. The tower has a trail that encircles it and this is one of the views from that trail.

Fishing by the Light
The Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse stands at the end of a long pier – a spot often occupied by fishermen. If you look closely, you will see their silhouettes. (Click on the photo to see an enlarged version.)

Loving the Light
The Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier is dwarfed by the big, beautiful, dramatic sky at sunrise. The calm water reflects the colorful twilight hues of the clouds.
I just happened to be in Kewaunee last weekend and made it a point to get up way before I needed to for church to capture some sunrise views from the beach. This was actually snapped about 20 minutes before sunrise. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this sunrise as a 7 or 8. It was good enough to provide a number of good images…which I will be working on in the coming weeks.
This is a panorama of two combined shots. You can get a better, larger view by clicking on the photo.
