Because of a technical glitch at Photography 139 Worldwide Headquarters, the post of this week’s submissions won’t occur until this evening.
However, you can start working on this week’s theme… SILHOUETTE.

Minnesota
This collection images comes from a folder called “Minnesota”. It is also from January 2006.
These were taken on the Mississippi River in Saint Paul.
Next Saturday’s folder is entitled “Sculpture Garden”.
Words of Widsom, Lloyd My Man
When I stay with Bethany and Dae Hee, the guest bedroom is across from this crazy long and crazy thin hallway. It is something out of a nightmare. A took a quick snap of it last time I was up there. Well, last time I was at there place.
They are moving from this place at some point in the near future, so I might not ever get to photography it again. Sadness ensues.

The Bravest Act
As many of you may know, the historic Wagon Wheel Bridge recently collapsed after being damaged by ice dams.
Carla and I went out there to take a looksie. Here is one of the photos from that trip:
Some of you may be wondering why I’m not wishing you guys a Happy St. Patrick’s Day.
Listen, I’m for just about any holiday. Even one that is designed to mock the Irish for having the genetic predisposition for alcoholism. Mock away, I say.
But today, the Iowa State Cyclones battle the Gaels of Iona in the NCAA tournament.
I wish for nothing but sadness for anything that is remotely Gaelic.
I will mock (celebrate) the Irish tomorrow. By eating a Reuben. Which was invented by a Lithuanian in Nebraska, but is somehow now considered Irish food. Whatever.
GO CYCLONES!!!
No particulars today. I’m lazy.
Corporate Handouts and Building Bombs
Here is a picture of the mist from Minnehaha Falls from my trip there with Bethany. Or more precisely it is a picture of Minnehaha Falls where its mist has covered my camera.
You may be getting an idea of how incredibly slick and dangerous this little photo excursion ended it being.

Glass Packs
I took this picture from the back deck of the lodge where we spent a plurality of our time during the 2016 Youth Group Retreat. I took this picture after we had set up the prayer stations and while we were waiting for the kids to return from their outdoor worship service.
While I do enjoy this picture, I wish I wouldn’t have been dinking around on the back of the deck because all of the excitement was in the front. A couple of wannabe toughs drove by our site revving their car engine really loud with their lights off. Let me tell you, the intimidation factor was at least a 10.
Until, the other male chaperon, Corey walked out of the shadows and up to them and knocked on their car window. They screamed like little school girls. Then drove off into the night. Never to be seen or heard from again.

Great submissions! Keep the momentum rolling with this week’s theme:

Should be an easy one! Everybody has access to a tree or even trees!
No HOUSEKEEPING this week.
Ice Storm
Yeah. This is late again. It has been crazy. What can I say.
These images are from January 2007. They are in a folder named ICE STORM. None of the pictures of the ice storm were worth saving though.
Next Saturday’s folder is entitled “Minnesota”.
Retreat 2016!
I told you would be hearing more about my weekend with the Youth Group. There might even small bits of solicitation coming your way. (Hint! Hint!)
This is the closest to a full group photo from the weekend I got:
Not pictured is other male chaperon Corey and the photographer Megan or Megyn or Meegan (I don’t really know. She seems to mostly answer to Bae.)
This picture is taken at the top of the hill at the Y Camp. The climb up the hill was a pretty good reminder, that dude, you need to get back to the gym!
Don’t worry, more about that weekend still in the chute.
#MERICA
This past weekend I spent hanging with my church’s youth group at the Y Camp.
There were numerous interesting moments, that I’d share with a person face to face.
But one of my favorite moments was watching a bald eagle swoop down out of the air and onto a sandbar on the opposite side of the Des Moines River. Although the eagle was too far away for me to get a decent photo, I did at least get a photo.
Here is that photo:
This will not be the last time you hear about that weekend.
