CS #664 - My Town

[Palouse]

Welcome to Collective Shoot #664
~My Town~
August 1 -- August 7, 2019​

Where you post pictures taken between Thursday (August1) starting at 12:00AM (your time zone) running thru Midnight of the following Wednesday (August 7) (your time zone)

Share with us views of your town---the good, the bad and the ugly, and everything in between. What makes it home for you? What is is known for? What can you make fun of?

Here are some archived shots to get you primed. (I realized I don't have many pictures of Moscow . . . . )

1. Panoramic view from the south.

4. Old barn on the city/state line. Probably the first DSLR shot I took. The barn is now mostly gone. Shot in 2000?

Then wine.

Love this theme.....We are trying to get ready to go on vacation to Redfish. It's probably my second home since I've spent 10 days there every year for the past 32 years. Can I use that as "My Town"? I probably won't have much time to photograph anything here in Idaho Falls between now the time we leave, but I will try.

Sure, second homes count too! Besides, I love Redfish too!

We've done this theme before (I hosted), but nothing wrong with doing it again. I'll try to participate and I look forward to everyone else's contributions.

Thanks Mike. Yes, wine at the end of the day (I have a Land Trust board meeting at 5, so I need to be well behaved . . .)

Thanks Allen, wish I'd photographed that barn every year.

Yeah I remember that, but with all these new whippersnappers here, and us old, mature types with new gear, It's time for some armchair travel!

Nice spot, I may be exploring that area sometime next year.

 

[NEF Said]

Cool theme! I'm going to be out of town for most of the CS, but will see if I can sneak in some time for picts.

The recent thread about how much it costs to live there explains why everyone is at work.
