Vermont Trip - February 2019

We went for a quick overnight trip to Burlington, VT. We saw my brother who was in visiting a friend of his. Then we stayed overnight at our friend's place and dropped off an air compressor and shelving unit previously moved out of our storage unit.
I did not take a whole lot of pictures. On the way up on Friday we stopped at the Sharon Rest Area on I-89 northbound in Vermont. It was an interesting facility because they do not have an easy supply of clean water. Therefore for flushing they use water treated on site in a green housed filtration system.
The green house houses the filtration system.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport - Between Concourses A & B

When we arrived in Atlanta from Philadelphia we walked instead of taking the train to leave the terminal. On our way out of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport we saw this art installation and made sure to give ourselves extra time to photograph it on our departure. This art installation is in the underground walkway between concourses A and B.
Again we alternated lenses and settings. These were all taken using a Canon Rebel T2i (550D). All photos were taken with fixed ISO of 100 and at Aperture Value of 9.0 using a Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens.
Looking at this and the PHL post it looks like the way the photos are uploaded and compressed they really muddy dark sections of the photos.

Philadelphia International Airport - Between Terminals B & C

Holly and I took a trip to Atlanta over a weekend. We took a pre-7:00 AM flight from Boston to Philadelphia and then on to Atlanta. While we were in Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) there was a sunrise and Holly wanted photos.
We messed with lenses and settings some. These were all taken using a Canon Rebel T2i (550D). All photos were taken with fixed ISO of 100.
It is interesting how much lower quality these look uploaded to this blog than they do on my desktop. I have not looked at all of my uploaded photos before but these are particularly bad, which I have not noticed before. Maybe this is an initial compression and it will be improved late.

Montréal Trip - October 2018

Holly and I went to Vermont to visit with friends and then we all took a two day trip to Montréal. For this I have images both from my camera as well as my friend's camera. Friends' names are purposefully anonymized to an extent. Except, I did copyright the photos for whoever took them.

I put together this list as a way to keep the links for all the other posts.

My final photos of the trip. Berri - Uqam Station had a very neat stained glass window installation.


Montréal - Place – des – Arts Station – Métro

We got on our second to last Métro at Place – des – Arts Station.


Montréal - Underground City

We had a fair amount of time to walk around. We entered the Underground City from Palais de Congrès. The Underground City connects a lot of buildings and subway stations so that denizens can stay warm during the winter. While it is called the "Underground City" there are some passages that require you to go above ground (bridges over roadways and such) while indoors.
