Photowalk 1 in the new town.

As you may have read, I recently moved across the country for my PhD studies.  What this means for my photography is that I don’t know the area and haven’t had years to spot things that I think would photograph well.  I don’t know how good of an excuse this is, because I took a few decent photos in Australia and I really didn’t know anything there, but that’s my story.  I’ve had a rough go at getting my photography back up and running with the stresses of moving, starting my new research, etc.  But today I had some time off so I decided to go for a little hike.  I hiked up to Dorsey’s Knob Park, which is the highest point in Morgantown (I’m not sure of the stipulations on this, whether it’s within the city limits, in the greater Morgantown area, etc, but I digress).  I didn’t have much inspiration and didn’t see all that much that caught my eye, but here are a few photos to share.

I found it like this; I didn’t ruin half of the paint on this water tower in post!

Bus! Though the public transit does suck around here. This is one of three that I’ve seen in the last 2 weeks and I’m not certain where to actually catch them.

A little bit of a landscape shot. Substation. Transmission towers. Mountains. I don’t know, just roll with it.

Flowers and bokeh(!) what more could I ask for?
