Well, I've been talking about making a list of local places to take photographs and the weather has given me time to work on it. Please remember that this is still somewhat rough and a lot incomplete. I expect it to grow to 4-10 times by the time it's finished. http://home.earthlink.net/~photo_johns_1/sites.htm

Please take a look at it and give me your constructive comments.

- Authoring software: I'm an old DOS guy and use basic HTML with no frills. It's easy for me, the file sizes are small, and they work without plug-ins. So this won't change.

- Philosophy: If you think I should be aiming at a different audience or providing different levels/types of information then let me know what you think would be better and why.

- Structure: I'd like to keep this structure but it's open to suggestion.

Thanks.

I was wondering about the Resevoir at 167th West/H. As far as I can tell that place has a fence and gate around it like Fort Knox's. How do you get in their?
Thanks

Helen,

I don't know, I haven't been there yet but was told about it. Supposedly waterfowl and other birds gather around it when there's water.

I just did a Google Map/Satellite and it appears that this place is called the "Fairmont Resevoir." I was told that there are two resevoirs, an old earthen one and a newer concrete one but from the satellite image it looks like there might actually be three. I'll get there one of these days.

Hi Glenn, The old one is pretty much gone and the new one is full of water. I live right their and would like to get in. But it is locked.
Thanks

Helen,

I drove out there yesterday and found no easy way in. From the satellite views there may be a way to come in from the backside but that is not a certainty. Therefore, for now, I'm removing that location from my list.

Any other comments? Do you think that this list it will be useful to anyone?

They're now on my list. I also looked up the web site for the Rosamond club and added that to the list.
