The Flat Iron Building
Sign of the season.
Driving home on a rainy day.
Wicked comes to the Orpheum Theater.
I often see the sunrise on the way to work. This one was special. I pulled over into a side street and made this attempt to capture the mood.
It's Summer and the street construction crews have come out of hibernation. It seems like most of the major roads are under construction.
The traffic slowdowns can be annoying, but they also give you time to enjoy the beautiful
Summer skies.
Mutual of Omaha installed this 14-story banner to promote the 2008 Olympic Swim Trials. and the four-day Swimvitational event.
Acording to a story in the Omaha World-Herald, the banner is 245 feet high and 60 feet wide. So – how many megapixels do you need to make a print that big?
The Olympic trials will be in the 5-year-old, 17,000 seat, Qwest Center.
The Mutual of Omaha Swimvitational is both a shakedown event for the trials and qualifier and warm-up event for the swimmers.
Sorry about all the clutter in the foreground of the photo. Mutual of Omaha is located on one of the busiest streets in town. I pulled over for a quick shot through the car window.
I'd heard that fast food was going to the dogs, but I thought it was just an expression.
Every year, just before the Fourth of July, the suburbs of Omaha are invaded by giant monsters.
Fireworks, banned in Omaha, are legal in the suburbs. Stands like these sprout up overnight. Each location sells fireworks to raise funds for a different charity.
I've always appreciated the irony of selling fireworks to support the volunteer fire department.
Construction at the Shadow Lake Shopping Center nears completion, May 2007.
Lifts like the one in the foreground are in use by workers putting the finishing touches on the Main Street shops.
There are four in this photo. It looked like there were a dozen of these in use around the site.

You can't tell the road is closed by the the tire tracks in the dirt. Looks like there are quite a few folks that don't need paved roads.
