I was just playing around with a few pictures from I took at the museum this weekend. I hope you all like them.

Awsome pics! Especially the one of the 8th AF airfield buildings. Just needs a silouhette of a B-17 or two and a few bicycles parked around to complete the effect.

Wonderful stuff! Thanx so much, I agree pic #2 needs maybe just a ghostly crew walking past, but really nice feel to that one :D :D :D

Nice stuff guy... thanks much!

I really like 'Preserving our Past'... that's got some atmosphere to it.

Hope you don't mind that I fooled around with one of these...

And the 'vintage' look...

I was gonna add some figures on the tower and some other stuff in the background, but got lazy...

I don't mind at all. Do you mind if I save those. I love it.

Sure thing... go right ahead, and thank you.

I call the modified image, specifically the vintage version, 'Last One In'.

The 8th AF tower, officers club, and barracks are my favorite non-airplane display at the Air Force Museum. Love that photo in the fog!

Did you take that "before" pic of the A-17, or is it on display near the finished aircraft? I don't recall seeing it before.

That picture is on display by the finished aircraft. She is a beauty.

I tell you what, the darkness can make it tough to get good shots, but sometimes it helps you get a few great ones.

I was visiting. My friends wanted to take a few days trip for my birthday. So we did that and a couple other things.
