Life is too short

If you are a regular visitor you many have noticed that my recent posts are not from my home territory. I recently river cruised the lower Mississippi and have quite a few pictures to share. Being in unfamiliar surroundings provides many opportunities for exploring and photographing. 

This photo is from Memphis, the former home of Elvis Presley. In the Graceland domain there are multiple tributes to the King, including a museum showcasing Elvis's collection of cars, as well as two aeroplanes. I am not a huge Elvis fan but found the many exhibits fun.

Tie-up

Here it is the middle of February and I have not posted anything yet... so I dug into Lightroom to find this previously rejected image. Not much that is interesting other than colors, textures and composition. They all can't be keepers.

Asian Lanterns

The Jacksonville Zoo one again had a large Asian Lantern display over the last few months. The scale and colors of these lanterns are impressive.

So is this up-side-down or right-side-up?

Actually both. 

The foreground is right-side-up and the background is up-side-down as it is a reflection off water.
