Business Christmas No one likes to go on a business trip during the holidays. Most of us would prefer to stay home with our family and enjoy the holiday from the comfort of our recliner, not an economy seat in the back of a red eye. But if you have to go, at least there are a few nice hotels that share a little bit of the holiday spirit. This hotel lobby is elegant in its own right, but the red Christmas tree brings a bit of Christmas cheer to those travelers that migrate pass.
5002 - Rolling Pride This is the second train I found sitting all alone, right behind engine 9662. I've always felt a twinge of pride when I view one of these engines with the American flag painted on the side rolling down the tracks. You don't realize how huge these things are until you get right up next to them. A bit dusty and worn, but big and strong; kind of like America.
Reflecting on Christmas Like many photographers, reflections have a special attraction that can make a photo come alive. But since I don't live close to a lake, pond or other natural attraction, I have to keep a keen eye open for rare opportunities. The reflection pool at the local Town Center provided a great chance for this Christmas photo.
