Walter Payton, a running back for the Chicago Bears football team, was known as "Sweetness" for his moves carrying the football. This was a screen capture of my television during a game Chicago played against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. For this photo, I remember that the local newspaper in my town had loaned me one of their telephoto lenses because they used a Minolta like I did. This was taken at a distance from my TV and zoomed in on just part of the screen.

This is the intersection of Route 1 and Route 45 near my town and is touted as the only intersection in the world that doesn't actually intersect. What you see is Route 45 coming at the camera from straight ahead and it turns left (when viewed from this angle, it actually turns right in real life), and heads off in that direction. Route 1 is coming from the right side of the picture and turns left and heads off in the direction behind where I was standing with the camera.

This was the first picture taken with my Minolta SRT-101 35mm camera. It was a little rough before, but now it operates silky smooth. Thanks, mountain dawg! I couldn't wait until daylight to try it out, so this is a night shot taken at a local intersection just outside my town. It is the intersection of Route 1 and Route 45 and is touted as the only intersection in the world that doesn't actually intersect. What you see is Route 45 coming at the camera from straight ahead and it turns left (when viewed from this angle, it actually turns right in real life), and heads off in that direction. Route 1 is coming from the right side of the picture and turns left and heads off in the direction behind where I was standing with the camera. I don't know if there's any way of proving it's the only one in the world that doesn't intersect, but that's what they claim. If it doesn't intersect, it would seem to me that maybe calling it an "intersection" could be a slight misnomer. Oh, well.
