From Backyard corner on the street
Back Porch
FLOWAH POWAH!
FLOWAH POWAH!
HANGIN FLOWAH POWAH!
BLURRY FLOWAH POWAH!
Drive way scattered with blossoms from trees
Front porch minus the beer drinking monkey (me) that usually occupies it.
Fence line needs some work
Impatiens die from frost so of course we've been having early spring frost.
They sure are pretty.
Back corner of yard from across the street
Front corner of yard from across the street
Far shot of front yard
One without the flash reflecting off stop sign :rollseyes:
Big tree in front corner of yard
That tree lining the street is dropping all the white crap

Cant seem to get a good shot of the trees lining the blvd.
But I tried.

Otherside of porch, I really should paint the downspout covers, I didnt realize how tacky that looks, its usually covered by the bushes
Straight on front shot
Otherside of yard, where small sheds at.
looking down the street the otherway

Hrm, that swinging bench has some weathering.

Backcorner of yard is the next project
I think Ill just dump gravel back here, so I dont even have to mow.
Well, its cleaner back here than it was before
20050430-33.jpg
Another project, clothes line removal

Some people reccomended ripping this old concrete grill out, I like it because I can legally make open fire and fire is cool
Look up my nose!
screweing with camera settings, the subjects were a bit unwilling however
Coercion was not working
Even gratuitous sexual advances didnt work
Tried to get some long shots of the front since theres this nice long driveway upto union terminal
Its called cincinnati museum center now
Used to be cincinnatis “grand central” sort of
There are 3 or four mini museums and an IMAX theater in there.
The entrance
Parking on each side
Getting closer
IF we had time and I thought ahead, I woulda brang my tripod.
I didnt realize how unlevel my shots were until comparing similar ones
It isnt the most imposing structure EVAR, but it is pretty neat architecture
Facing away from the entrance
Fountain up front
I think I should come back later in the summer to see if they spruce the place up a bit with more color
And if its lit up at night, I bet night shots about here would look cool

20050430-57.jpg
I tried to climb up the fountain to get some differing shots, the cop standing behind me smiled upside down
Trying to walk up ledge of the fountain
Looking down from fountain
It looks like Im taking a whiz from behind the camera
20050430-62.jpg
Not bad, I think I screwed some setting on my camera thats making my shots a bit fuzzy. I dont think the overcast helped any either.
One of the murals inside the entrance
Fort washington
They did have an impressively large miniature of cinci, but its enclosed in plexi glass, I guess to keep people from spitting on the city
It made taking shots through it a bit difficult
The old stadium, crosley field, opened in 1912
Blasted plexiglass flash reflection
I cant remember the name of the old gothic building
20050430-71.jpg
Downtown
One of the old street cars
They had a cool WWII section with bits of memorabilia
nothing really to see, have no idea why I took this shot
streetcar interior
Her in streetcar interior
Some stereotypical family during the 40's, It woulda been more interesting if the man was swinging a bottle of whiskey around with a deranged look beating the wife and kid
20050430-79.jpg
20050430-80.jpg
How 'bout a nice warm cup of STFU! That sign just made me start laughing outloud. The other patrons were a bit peturbed
DONT DO IT! DONT ENLIST!
Trust me buddy, you DONT want me anymore
20050430-85.jpg
Japanese Army model 11 6.5mm-piece o' crap
Hey, big red one!
choo-choo
20050430-89.jpg
20050430-90.jpg
German mauser rifle, pretty sure its just a standard model 98
more choo-choo's
miscellaneous stuff, but the car is neat
Back when they still put the coke in coke!
General cincinnatus, illuminta conspiracy theorists need not apply
Famous Injuns
Injun trails around cinncinati, heh, they of course put Ft washington right at the intersection
Apparentl the reason Symmes is significant (there is a township named after him) is he was a rich white guy who bought all the land from injuns...and Im sure it was a fair price.
Marker of various stations, which Im were more interesting than cinci is nowadays, since back then, Im sure they had brothels!
A flatboat model, used to ferry cargo up and down the river to various locations
So cincinnati was originally created for “recreation” not much of that around here now.
A whole mockup of a turn of the century street!
This was actually pretty neat
They amazingly modeled a whole town street and theres only one damn saloon in the place! (and its right below a chapel?) That is NOT historical
Hmm, where does he have his hand?
Interior of steamboat mockup

Corss section of steam engine
Ooo! a parrot rifle!
rifle breach
The “not friendly” end
You can see the rifling grooves
20050430-113.jpg
Looking down the street
20050430-115.jpg
Again, I believe this owld be more accurate if the captain had a bottle of whiskey in his hands
Unloading the steam boat
Civil war era arms, the cavalry sharps carbine in the back was nice to see
Turn of the century manufacturing equipment (mostly machinery tools) all of it actually works.
I believe this one was from the early 20's
The poster is cool, I wouldnt mind having that hanging in the living room
20050430-122.jpg
Before they closed I wanted to try and get some better shots of the model
20050430-124.jpg
Fountain square, middle background
20050430-126.jpg
close up of fountain square
since the plaque is readable, no explanation required
Time capsule
On our way out, I tried to open it, again, the cops frowned and made threatening gestures
The actual skyline from the parking lot
20050430-132.jpg
20050430-133.jpg
The spire on this bldg was cool, so I snapped a few shots of it.
