Alrighty then, I'll be the first:

The Stone Culvert at Trestle Park in Algoma Township, built in 1885, a Registered Historic Site and recently renovated.  It is part of the Grand Rapids/Indiana Rail Line that we now refer to as the White Pine Rail Trail:



Some more great history here:

Fear not Jeff!  I actually have a few construction updates on my camera now, its just a matter of transferring them.  By the time I do they won't be very current any more, and you've already beaten me to the punch on one of them! doh!

No, hey, knock yourself out! (not to be taken literally, of course).  The more pictures the better if you ask me.  Besides, I usually don't have time during the day to take pictures.  Maybe this weekend I will stroll around and take a whole bunch.

If you go out today, get some of Monroe Center, it looks pretty cool with the street trees currently being yellow

Wow!  I like the colors in that one GRCentro   Did you have to use a tripod?

I kinda went the other direction and did a few of my favorites in B&W:

Love the pictures -- hate the neon.

Why did the GR Ford Presidential Museum find it necessary to advertise its presence so?  Yuck.  Yuck.

Thanks guys, I'm glad you liked it.  And yes, I always have to use I tripod at night.
