There is a creek here in town with a cement bridge over it, no rails. I took a picture there one. Perfect setting.

Take pictures with an ostrich. That would be the winner, for sure! There's an ostrich farm at the lake, actually. One of them escaped and an old friend of mine trashed his SI on the way home one night because it ran out in front of him. How odd is that? lol

I can show you some nice industrial/run down settings that would be great for pictures.. places with nice artwork, etc.

Lithia Nance road is one of the roads I was thinking about...

There is another one, but I still can't think of the name of it. Haven't been able to talk to my riding partner yet...

Yeah I thought about Lithia Rd.... my mother grew up on Swartz road so I'm over there a lot, and did notice a few spot that would be nice if the creek was up. Problem is on that road no one ever drives slow or safe and I dont wanna see my car get hit.. lol

I think I'm going to head up towards Bath and Covington tomorrow. Hoping that I can find a couple nice spots along Craigs creek or the James. Can always stop by Humpback bridge and then head towards Falling Springs Falls. Should be a good road trip if the weather holds off. Course some shots in the rain might be nice too. Oh well, if none of that works out then I'll try the Roanoke Area sunday.

Figures right now there is a great overcast, perfect for some of my ideas and my camera is 30 miles away. Just my luck.

Thanks guys for your help

As stated above, there are tons of scenic areas around here. However, I think it'd be funny to knock on the door of one of the million dollar homes in Hunting Hills and ask if you can park your car in the courtyard in front of the house for a few photos. That would make for a unique shot.

Odds are I know most of the people who live in Hunting Hills cause of where I work. House I want to go photograph infront of is in Swope Va (close to Staunton) I jus dont have the time to get up there. It's got a huge "pond" infront of it that would be perfect for what I want too
