This is the photo of the week for Monday, August 31st, 2009.

I’m not exactly sure of the history of this old thing but I’m almost quit certain that this was probably used as a school bus before long buses were made. My friend Talon called it the “old timey short bus”. This old thing is sitting out in the parking lot in front of Angel’s Flea Market in Opelika, AL which is one of my favorite flea markets to shop at. I took this picture with my T-Mobile MyTouch cellphone on Sunday, August 30th, 2009 @ 4:10 PM. My buddy Talon and I were meeting up to hang out for dinner. We ate at Golden Corral that afternoon. He had a big salad and I pigged out on a plate and a half full of roast beef, lima beans, brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes, and onion rings. Those onion rings were THE BOMB!!!!! Talon and I had been out late the night before sitting at a little redneck bar called the Cock & Bull with some of his old co-workers who I had never met before. We all sat there listening to some crappy band who I honestly have to say wasn’t bad but could have been a little better. Anyway I got off on a totally complete different subject with all that and I’m just babbling now. The white SUV in the picture belongs to my friend Talon. He was parked there waiting for me in the parking when I took the picture of this old bus. He told me to crop his car out of the picture when I posted this but if I did that then I wouldn’t have gotten to tell the story about how we hung out and had such a great time and then all you guys would have seen was a picture of that old ratty bus that’s just sitting there.

On Thursday, August 20th, 2009 I was driving into downtown Opelika and saw this cool truck with big tires in front of me as we were stopped at the traffic light by Bubba’s Medicine Shop. Me being the redneck that I am and having a big adoration for cool trucks I just had to snap this picture with my cellphone. Click here to see a larger image of this photo at flickr.

Long Cane Park on West Point Lake, in beautiful West Point, Georgia has long been one of my favorite get away spots when I want to get out and enjoy some nice scenery. The sunsets there are always amazing. I will be posting a lot of spectacular sunset photos from this area throughout the future as the sunsets from this location are the subject of most of my digital photography.

I call this photo “The Little Island”. This photo was taken while standing in the middle of the Long Bridge over Lake Harding in Beulah, Alabama. I should note that I used the original full size image from this photo to create the cool header image you see at the top of my site. There was a beautiful sunset going on and the water was almost very calm. As most always it was very peaceful out there as it usually is except for the occasional traffic crossing the bridge. I took this picture with my T-Mobile MyTouch. Click here to jump over to flickr to view a larger size image of this photo and please feel free to post your comment about this photo here or on flickr.
