Last summer, the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center was set up for the 2016 First Responders Day. Vehicles from Fairfax County services populated the Plaza. Officers and firefighters attended in order to show kids and the public to their capabilities. While they were there, the police officers did have the capability to fingerprint kids that were there.

The Fairfax County Ambulance was open in order to show all the gear inside. Given that there was a lot to see, it was a popular stopping point.

A ladder truck from the Fairfax County Fire Department also visited the Plaza. However, they parked on the street below, and extended a ladder above the crowd! Of course it was an attention- getter with fire fighters climbing the length of the ladder high above the Plaza.

Finally, the Fairfax 1 police helicopter landed on the roof of the adjacent garage. The sound of it approaching made it the star of the show!

This post continues a trip through the American Southwest with the stop in Bryce Canyon National Park. Until I had seen it for myself, this was not high on my list of places to see. With this in mind, that was the reason we did not budget enough time to explore the area.

Following the Rim Trail, you will come to this panorama at Inspiration Point. At this point, you will be presented with a grand view of the section of the canyon named Bryce Amphitheater. Stretching out is a layered view of hoodoos – irregularly eroded rock formations. Obviously this view really blew me away! Particularly the contrast in other canyons I have visited – Bryce had a different color, and jagged formation as far as you could see. When we were at the top, we could see approaching clouds. So, creating HDR images would bring out a little more interest from the sky. I will definitely be back to visit at either sunrise or sunset – this could have some magical color in that kind of light!

DC Area Arthur Murray studios

The photos from the last weekend’s 2016 Fall Freestyles event from the DC Area Arthur Murray studios are released at the TimeLine Media proofing site! Compared to their last meeting, this was a crowded event in the ballroom. Of course everyone was in the same ballroom this time, but attendance felt higher. This week, we have edited and sorted the photos by studio. With this in mind, please let me know if I made any mistakes! Here is the link:

This time, I had some great help from my photographer friends. It would be impossible for me to cover all the heats all weekend, so I am thankful for the help! Obviously, we would like to thank the studio owners and managers that prepared the dancers for their heats all weekend!
