Well...
Elvis. Why do I have an Elvis song stuck in my head? I don't even like him! Oh well...
This morning, I decided to stop at a few cemeteries with the pinhole cap on Chuck. What better way to express my feelings than in a cemetery? Seriously. I really like the effect this thing has. Everything almost glows. It is a little inconvenient to use though, since I have to use the live view and on sunny mornings it is almost useless. Especially when I am sporting my awesome shiny white security officer outfit. Talk about glare. Geesh.
The first cemetery I drove through is Highland in Ft. Mitchell. I haven't been there for a while and there is this crazy naked Sycamore tree I like to visit. Check it out...
Isn't that cool??
I made a bunch of photos with the pinhole cap and a few with my long lens - which I will post on another date.
And check this bad boy out...lens flare!!! Cool, huh?
I was fairly lucky that most of the lanes were cleared. I didn't really take that into account until I made my way down the street to St. John's. Holy Crap! Once I drove in there I was really afraid I wasn't going to be able to navigate to narrow STILL FROZEN drive! Luckily, I made a quick 3-point turn (on a hill, mind you) and made tracks. I did stop - of course - and take a couple of quick photos.
I was disappointed I didn't get much farther into the cemetery so I decided to head over to Evergreen Cemetery in Southgate. Here's a shot of the snow on the exit ramp to Ky17...don't worry...I pulled over to take the photo (this time).
Needless to say, that choice was a bust, also. The entrance is a long drive up a hill towards the chapel. Well...there was a sign posted that the cemetery was closed due to icy conditions and enter at your own risk!! I had to slip and slide up the hill to be able to turn around. Geez...
After all of that I just called it a day. Maybe I can go to Spring Grove Sunday morning. I have a feeling the snow will still be around until then...just a sneaking suspicion.
