The Mother of All PhotoBlog Posts!

As a dateless Friday night activity, Katrina and I went for an adventure in downtown Idaho Falls, where we found many interesting things. I brought good ol' Gabe along to help show everyone else the interesting things we found.

 I love the shape of the Red Lion Hotel, and seeing it through these trees made it look positively amazing.

 I always take colorful liberties with my photos. Here's the IF water tower under a beautiful blue sky.

 Doesn't this picture just make you want to smile? It does for me.

 The glorious Red Lion Hotel. Lovely.

 Geese! I really like the movement in this picture. They kept staring at me. I felt awkward.

 The Hide-Away.

 The upper levels of this building looked like candy from the 70s. I loved it!

 For some reason, I'm mesmerized by one way signs. Maybe it's because I've failed to notice a few in the past....Anyway, here are some more colorful liberties!

 Try pronouncing it. Yeah, you sound like an idiot. At least, we did.

 Freaking. Creepy. Baby doll.

 So, I'm a bit of an architecture nerd, so I love me a good building. Here is a good building. I love it.

 Another thing I'm obsessed with: alleyways.

 Hmmm...Blackfoot or Jackson? Jackson, please! Woot!

 So, this is a horrible picture, but I swore these guys were going to come to life. Look at me!

 Yep, you're seeing things right. Take a moment to take it all in.

 I wanted to hug this building. So wonderful!

 Another building I really loved. I also loved the fire escape/balcony thingy.

 This is a bench we sat on for a few minutes. It was very colorful, but not smooth. This upset us.

 Oh, my goodness. I love this alleyway. I was really creepy, but it was magical in its creepiness
.
 Sweet fire escape!...Batman!

 Ah, I love this alleyway. <3

 No, they don't. They need to be banned from ice cream, actually.

 Fire escape!

 Sweet truck, man. Love the....flames. And stuff.

 I am in love with this building. It's so beautifully dilapidated. I want it.

 I love big windows.

 My love from the other side. Sigh. So wonderful.

 Architecture from a long time ago. Still fun to look at.

 I feel like I'm in paradise right where I'm standing at times. This was one of those times.

 Yep. As Katrina would put it, "Rollin' like a big shot." Love the blue with the orange.

 The lovely Katrina M. Tefft. Look at those eyes. Amazing.

 Ok, this building was creepy altogether without the creepy sign (I took a leak in there earlier and thought I might get slaughtered mid-stream...it was scary).

 The light and the leaves. I couldn't help myself. I took about 5 million photos of just this.

 Magical. Wonderful. Marvelous.

 So dramatic. And the color was so vibrant, I didn't really have to do anything to touch up.

It's a masterpiece, I know. So much fun to look at!
