My Morning Jacket

Any good photos of your hometown, or where you live currently, or a place you love, that you'd like to share?

here's a taste of my home, pic taken last winter.

and here's some water in the rio, also from last winter.

Fuuuck, that first picture is incredible. I've never lived anywhere so photogenic.

Except West Virginia. Let me see if I've got some pictures of that one on the computer.

Okay, so I've got a few:

This is from behind the house my had in Buford, GA in December, the first time I saw it. This is still one of my favorite pictures I've ever taken, and it was seriously on my second day of owning a digital camera.

Discovered this beaut on the trip back from my dad's to Nashville on 24 just north of Chattanooga:

;)

This is from driving around the suburbs of Chicago (Carol Stream). May parents lived there a few years while I was graduating high school. Now they're in Oswego (near Naperville). I've got a thing for clouds. Especially when shit like this goes down. Pretty normal street. Pretty awesome clouds.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/eiseyrokker/DSC01136.jpg)


And then from Belmont University in Nashville. Probably the most incredible cloud formation I've ever seen. We had a parking garage that was perfect for taking pictures of this business:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/eiseyrokker/DSC01996.jpg)


And then I turned around a realized I had a perfect shot of the skyline waiting for me, too. Great evening for pictures.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/eiseyrokker/DSC02001-1.jpg)


Also from Belmont, I lived in Pembroke Hall freshman year. Never realized how absolutely awesome the trees outside it were until fall of sophomore year when I took the camera out for an outing around campus:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/eiseyrokker/DSC02049.jpg)


Caught my fair share of sunrises from the other side of the hill while in Nashville, too. That's the only thing I don't dig about where I live in Athens, is that I don't have a good sunrise spot. Yet.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/eiseyrokker/DSC02606.jpg)


A few more kickass clouds from Carol Stream (this was from my 35mm on the way to early bird PE senior year of HS):
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/eiseyrokker/z-cloudburst.jpg)


Credit goes to my stepdad on this one. Just down the street from the one before, except at evening:

And to round things off, here's the sheep field we lived next to in WV. Smelled like sheep, but was quite the gorgeous:

That Tennessee Fire pic is sweeet.

Too bad the N was burned out, though for Tennessee, im surprised more werent burned out  ;D

'ey tom, great photos! thanks for sharing. those clouds in nashville are amazing!
have you ever googled photos for mammatus clouds? that's some amazing shit. i still haven't seen really good ones in person, but on sunday down here we had a cold, wet day for a change, and some gentle ones formed for a little bit. i'll get those photos up at some point.
i've had a thing for clouds for a while now. of course, being in the desert they can be a rarity. but when they do come around, it's fucking amazing. lately i've become a little more obsessed with trees, but i still have a tendency to stare at clouds, even when they're in the background on a TV screen.

These were taken in southwest New Mexico, on a drive to San Diego in August to see Radiohead. Some of my favorite cloud photos; the best ones come in late summer.

And that second picture is absolutely awesome. With awe being the operative part of the key word there. Awe-inducing probably works better. Shit, I love nature.

We have some of the most badass houses

The name comes from mamma - Latin for human female breast.  No wonder they're so appealing.

Wait till you see them in person. Once and only once have I and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up from excitment and from the fact mother nature was about to bitch slap us around. Take a picture of them as they are amazing to see, then take cover as bad weather usually comes with them.

Some shots of my hometown in country Victoria (thankfully not affected by the bushfires)

This is a shot from my desk at work in Melbourne... yeah, pretty hard to concentrate on a nice day! If I could have been bothered opening the blinds to the right, you could see my view of the MCG/Rod Laver Arena.. no complaints :)

Yeah, we really only had a few hard gusts. One of them tore up part of my dog's pen. But it was a quick fix. Thanks for asking.

everything you said about them is right on. i saw them on sunday, briefly, and then it got really nasty down here.
and yeah, they're name comes from "mamma" for breasts...like mammary glands. and they form when there's lot of heavy moisture up in the air, or something. wiki would probably know more than my puny brain.
glad everyone's enjoying this thread. i'm really digging everyone's photos. i'm gonna have to go do some more paintings; been trying not to work from photos, but sometimes i just can't help myself.

My patio in Spring. I need more pictures of my area actually. Need to take a photo trip soon. Hopefully spring starts early as everything now still looks dead and grey from winter.

Heavy moisture and some serious downdrafts. The only class I truly enjoyed in college was the semester I took Meteriology. Weather is awesome.

That's soo beautiful! Where do you live?

Love this thread. So many beautiful pictures from so many places. One thing about us Jacket fans, we're definitely aesthetes.

And Ritchie, I lived right between Martinsburg and Shepherdstown in the panhandle. The place is beautiful and I'd probably have much more of an appreciation for the area now that I'm older and not a middle schooler who needs a mall to survive.

Where are you at? I've also got family about an hour south of Charleston in Ripley.

I live right smack in between Ripley and Charleston. About a mile from I-77. I live in a small little section of the county (can't really call it a town) called Kenna. I graduated from Ripley High School in 2006. Pretty cool.

I live in St. Charles, MO which is an old river town about 30 minutes from downtown St. Louis.   Here is a shot of downtown.  It's a pretty tame but nice shopping area with mostly crappy bars but a few good quality night spots....

Here is a Lewis and Clark statue down by the river....

One of the better bars.   The brewery where I first met TEO is right near here as well....

Also most people don't realize that there are actually some very beautiful spots in Missouri and some really great parks.

We are going camping at Hawn State park in May or June...

We also have this amazing park called Elephant Rock that my kids love.  You can climb on all of these wierd giant rocks that "formed in the Proterozoic 1500 million years ago from a dome of molten magma. Nearly vertical fractures formed in the stone as it cooled, and uplift of the formation enhanced the fracturing. Eventually the overlying strata was removed through erosion, exposing the granite dome. With exposure, water and ice worked to weather and erode the surface of the granite and to expand the fracture joints. Eons of weathering produced the rounded boulders that are the park's signature."

That's god's country out there.  I spent nine years in Ashland, KY, which you all probably know is on the border of KY, OH, and WV.  I've spent 9 years in Ohio, 9 years in Ashland, and 9 years in Louisville.  I wouldn't call any of them home, though.

Actually no,  I found that picture on the interweb!  ;D  Cute kid though.

BH, those are some great pix.  I spent four days in St. Charles back in 2000 for a work training.   I didn't get a chance to see anything other than the downtown really.  The training site was right on the main street downtown and I ate my lunch out back on by river every day, very peaceful.
The first night, I walked down to one of the bars.  I seem to remember it was about in the middle of the businesses on that main street.  I walked in and ordered a Sierra Nevada and the 'tender looked at me like I was stupid.  I kind of took a look around, saw all the memorabilia, and then it hit me that I'm smack in the center of Anheiser Busch country.  I quickly ordered a Bud.

HA!  That sounds about right.  You just nailed the reason why I hate about 75% of the bars on that street.   There is a couple of places that have good beer and a brewery that makes their own beer, you just gotta know where to go obviously.   You be sure and let me know if you ever make it back!

No, I'm in Louisville now.  When I did live in Ohio I lived in Middletown which is North of Cincinnati and south of Dayton.  Nearly all my family lived there when I was a kid and now nearly all of them are elsewhere though we still meet up there for reunions and Bengal games.

I actually came REALLY close to going to OU for film school (grad).  I told myself if I got a scholarship of any kind I would go. I got in, but no scholarship so I stayed in Louisville and became a teacher. I'm glad things worked out this way.  But Athens is a great town though.

RE: TEO/freespiritedness - I was voted most free spirited in High School. lol.  You're right though, at the risk on being too ethereal I think my home is any patch of nature left untouched by man, although I'm finding a nice second home in well-manicured gardens as well.

Gotcha.  Yeah, Athens is a cool place.  My wife teaches 4th grade at one of the elementaries here.  There's just always something fun going on in a college town.  Lyle Lovett/John Hiatt tonight, Movin' Out (the Billy Joel stage production) next Wednesday, D1 sports, etc.  
I'm a gardener myself, been double-digging beds for organic gardening for about 12 years now.  Hard on the back but really aerates the soil and gives root systems plenty of space to grow.

QuoteLove this thread. So many beautiful pictures from so many places. One thing about us Jacket fans, we're definitely aesthetes.

And Ritchie, I lived right between Martinsburg and Shepherdstown in the panhandle. The place is beautiful and I'd probably have much more of an appreciation for the area now that I'm older and not a middle schooler who needs a mall to survive.

Where are you at? I've also got family about an hour south of Charleston in Ripley.

I live right smack in between Ripley and Charleston. About a mile from I-77. I live in a small little section of the county (can't really call it a town) called Kenna. I graduated from Ripley High School in 2006. Pretty cool.

That's god's country out there.  I spent nine years in Ashland, KY, which you all probably know is on the border of KY, OH, and WV.  I've spent 9 years in Ohio, 9 years in Ashland, and 9 years in Louisville.  I wouldn't call any of them home, though.  

Hey aMD, are you currently in Ohio?  If so, whereabouts?  I've been in Athens since '92, aside from 3 years right after my wife and I finished our undergrad days.

No, I'm in Louisville now.  When I did live in Ohio I lived in Middletown which is North of Cincinnati and south of Dayton.  Nearly all my family lived there when I was a kid and now nearly all of them are elsewhere though we still meet up there for reunions and Bengal games.

I actually came REALLY close to going to OU for film school (grad).  I told myself if I got a scholarship of any kind I would go. I got in, but no scholarship so I stayed in Louisville and became a teacher. I'm glad things worked out this way.  But Athens is a great town though.

No shit! I double dug all my beds last October (fuck yeah it was hard on the back!) and put about 4" of compost in.  I'm also all organic.  I go to Starbucks almost daily for used coffee grounds, I make my own compost.  I have two new lasagna beds that I'm going attempt to direct seed this spring and I'm turning my deck into a container veggie garden (really looking forward to that).  

wow, AND your favorite GD song is Wharf Rat.  I have a feeling if I had moved to Athens we would have made fast friends. If you ever make it to da ville hit me up, man.

GREAT looking patio and bungalow MJ!   :)

The similarities are uncanny, no?  I remember you mentioned gardening in another thread fairly recently, but I lost track of it.  I think we probably would have made friends for sure if you had ended up in Athens.
I got into double digging my last quarter of undergrad.  I took an Alternative Agriculture class with a Plant Bio. professor who was just a nut!  The type who knew plants the world over that could give you a lift :o  We used a book by John Jeavons, can't think of the name of it right now.
Unfortunately, my double digs have taken place at about 6 different residences, from the three that we rented in NC, to another rental up here.  We finally bought a place in 2000 and I worked the next 5 years on getting multiple beds ready.  We then sold the place, moved again and I'm on year 3 here at the new place.  I have a helluva time with the deer though, they'e SOOOOOO thick here!  I put up a five foot fence last year that was no challenge at all, I would find out.  Still planning everything out this year.  Also have tried the container garden deck, but just don't get enough sun for anything but shade crops.
Great idea with Starbucks.  I had a great compost bin at the old place, haven't been up to the task here yet, but would like plan o get one started this season.
You also make sure you hit me up if you're ever back in Athens.  

i live in tuscaloosa, alabama. i need to get a few pictures of my little house up here for your viewing pleasure; until then, i fear my meager descriptions must suffice.

my little house is in a subdivision around a little man-made lake. it is green and white and was built in the late 1950's; i adore its "americana" charm. it's cute and cozy. i have a small backyard in which the daffodils have already begun to bloom.

i am happy to be back in alabama (after living in kentucky for nearly 10 years). it's good to be back home.

Tuscaloosa is a neat place. I passed through there about 4 years ago on my way to North Carolina and enjoyed the architecture a lot. I also have a few close friends who went to college there.
Can't wait to see your photos!

QuoteI live in St. Charles, MO which is an old river town about 30 minutes from downtown St. Louis.   Here is a shot of downtown.  It's a pretty tame but nice shopping area with mostly crappy bars but a few good quality night spots....

Also most people don't realize that there are actually some very beautiful spots in Missouri and some really great parks.

We are going camping at Hawn State park in May or June...

We also have this amazing park called Elephant Rock that my kids love.  You can climb on all of these wierd giant rocks that "formed in the Proterozoic 1500 million years ago from a dome of molten magma. Nearly vertical fractures formed in the stone as it cooled, and uplift of the formation enhanced the fracturing. Eventually the overlying strata was removed through erosion, exposing the granite dome. With exposure, water and ice worked to weather and erode the surface of the granite and to expand the fracture joints. Eons of weathering produced the rounded boulders that are the park's signature."

Elephant Rock is amazing.   It's like the perfect natural playground for kids.

I don't have anything worth showing in my camera right now. I had planned on going out & taking a few pics but it's turned really cold again & I'm too lazy  ;D

I will post some pic soon though, maybe when it's a little warmer...

Isn't it beautiful?  ;D Actually, people want it to be fixed up and made into a coal museum (We are in the heart of coal country, or, were at least) EVeryone here is so used to it, but come on, either fix it up or knock it the fuck down. If you look at it the other way though, where are all the teenagers going to do drugs if it's gone? ;)

Took a trip around town just taking random pics of shit. I'll do it again when its warm and things are clean and green.

What were you out there for? Working or just visiting? I absolutely love the Kruger Park and the Cape Town & Stellenbosch area is really beautiful.

If youre in the right situation, this seems like a great time to buy a place. Im not in that situation, but you are 1 of a number of people I know who are, so I guess something good is coming out of this damn rut of an economy.

Dude, What are you thinking! Buy that place use it for a year but trick it out with a few things(greenhouse/bar/rec studio/pool, you know what I mean.)

The Victoria Bridge lit up at night.  The city spent a ridiculous amount on those lights, so not worth it.

Nice pictures K  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I'll try & get some up soon...

That's awesome K. Looks sorta like a small European city. Very nice.

Yes DB, we needs pics of your corner of the globe.

I'll have some of St Louis soon as I have a daddy weekend with the boy and the lil one has a bunch of girl parties to go to. Daddy days ususally mean we go to the Arc and several other spots for cool pics of him acting all silly.

Enjoy!

Hi all! Just moved into my new home and have been slowly piecing my paradise together. These pics are the living room and dining room / kitchen. I love the use of color and texture. There's no color filtering added to these pics. These are all natural light pics of my life's dream becoming my reality. My Sanctuary from the world. Next up to be finished this week, the Master bedroom, the Guest bath, the Foyer and then finally on to the MY MORNING JACKET CAVE downstairs. It's going to be truly EPIC! Looking to host a MMJ fan weekend this summer to truly break in the Sanctuary right.

I want that dining table/chairs/bench - and I have that same light fixture over my dining table.  You've got a great sense of color and space.  Not a fan of the color red - but it works in your house.  Nice job!

Thanks Lucylew,
     I try to be brave with color as most people shy away from primaries. The table is yours. Come get it. ;-)

looks good except the James Bond poster is taking up precious wall space where an MMJ poster should be.

The College of Wooster:

home of the famous Alberts children (Mason and Marcy) the basketball stars---home of Smuckers (Orrville, very close) and home to the famous BARN restaurant? (one of the best places i've ever eaten)...i have many friends from Wooster, Shreve, Funk, and Orrville...I've spent a lot of time there and it's a wonderful place.  ;) :) (Ohio girl)

LOL!  You left out Mark (the oldest Alberts basketball star).  I went to high school with Mark and the basketball team his senior year was one of the best in our high school's history.  I think he had the original record for most 3 pointers in a Ohio high school season.  Marcy went to school with my lil sister and she was, IMO the best of the Alberts siblings as she starred at OSU!

I also worked at Smuckers as my summer job while I was in college!   :P   Mmmmmm... jelly!   8)

And yes, the Barn is one of my favorites as well!  Love the Brocolli Noodle soup.  And my kids love feeding the ducks after dinner! 

And I can't believe you actually know somebody from Funk!   :P

I knew you were an Ohio girl, just didn't realize you were so familiar with Woo-town!   :)

Funny thing is, growing up here I couldn't wait to get the hell out of Wooster and I did moving to Texas after college.  But I ended up moving back about 14 years ago and now I can't think of a better place I'd rather live to raise my family!   :)

looks good except the James Bond poster is taking up precious wall space where an MMJ poster should be.

All the music stuff goes downstairs in the cave. The upstairs is a "neutral" zone and I host business and cummunity events there as well. BUT, There will be a SUPER MMJ SHRINE down in the music cave!!!  I will make you proud my brothers and sisters!

The "Manctuary" has finally approached completion and I thought I would share some pix after these 3 months of renovations. Hope ya'll like it

I move into my new house (which is actually a 100-year-old farmhouse - it's been converterd into a semi) in September. Pics to follow, including my future man-cave. My wife said it will be tastefully decorated, so lots of framed gig prints... along with a few well-placed guitars and amps.

Will be very similar to Deja's I imagine.  Sustitute all of the fire for maple leaves and we're on to something, eh?  Sorry about that game today in the battle for third by the way.

18 blown saves so far this season. Rauch has to be stopped ASAP too.

The house is in Toronto East (Upper Beaches neighbourhood, which rocks) and a 10 minute walk to the Beaches and Lake Ontario.
