Exploration Photography Daily View - December 29, 2015

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Today I am continuing with the "looking back" theme I started yesterday. It's kind of fun going through some of the stuff from throughout the year and giving it a second chance at meeting the world.

So let's take a look at our trip to Washington DC in July. July 12 to be precise.

 
A shot from one of my favorite sites in DC. The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I have many good memories of visiting there with my cousin Charles many times over the years. Charles passed away a few years ago and I miss him every day but I am thankful for all of the great memories and places we visited together. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - July 15, 2015

Hi and welcome to the Daily View! If you have been watching the news lately you undoubtedly have seen many photos of the successful flyby of Pluto by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft. This accomplishment once again sets the United States at the forefront of space exploration and gives us something to be proud of again. To honor this great achievement I would like share an image that commemorates another American first. The first humans to step foot on the Moon. Shot at the Smithsonian Institute National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC here is one of the Apollo Lunar Module's. This is not the actual module that touched down on the Moon but it was integral in Earthbound testing of the Apollo 11 Module. 


So where will we go next? Who knows? But I am sure that we as not just Americans but as a humankind will keep pushing the envelope. It is what we do! And I for one am very anxious to see the many photos of Pluto and it's moons that will be released over the next weeks.

Thanks for stopping by my friends!

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - July 13, 2015

Hi folks! Well Monday is in the bag and I have to say I am still kind of beat from our busy weekend. But that's okay because we had a great time.

Today I would like to share a photo I made while in front of The National  Museum of American History - Smithsonian Institute. This is an old time ice cream truck that I thought looked good with the Washington Monument in the background. And I love the clouds too.


And that's all for now. I thank you for stopping by and hope to see you again real soon.

Until next time...
