Lake Flato HDR #1

Lake Flato is an architecture firm that does some really interesting contemporary design work. This one is called "The Plant" because years ago it was a cement plant. It has been redone nicely and is now a rental getaway not too far outside of Austin. It has a huge screened-in porch and a swimming pool, all sitting comfortably on 17 acres out in the woods.

Wall Slices Through House

Polycarbonate strips are 'stitched' into the angled, tilted, wall that slices through the small structure, dividing it into zones. As the wall passes through the building it carves a path of narrow openings that have been glazed to allow light to bounce into the rooms.

Light House Point

Just outside of White Halll, Michigan is a great State Park called "Silver Lake Sand Dunes". There's a great beach, and an even better light house.

I spent a weekend there and was fortunate enough to find some great sunsets. This was shot with a Canon 7d and a 15-85 lens. Obviously, this is an HDR image compiled from 3 exposures.



This is just south of Pentwater on Lake Michigan in July. Little Sable Point Light was designed by Col. Orlando M. Poe in 1874. It's distinctive shape is known as a "Poe Lighthouse". It's made from brick and is 108 feet high including the top.

It's third order Frenel Lens products 40,000 candle power at night, and is fully automated (since 1974). More information can be found here:
