A panoramic shot of my street (taken on film, of course ;)) The house in the middle with the door open is mine.
So if you guys ever happen to be walking down my street, knock and the beers are on me :D
 
Photo 1 - Some power lines that run straight through the middle of the neighborhood.

Photo 2 - One of the pylons blocking off access to the pylon area. Mother nature is fighting back and a tree has started to right out of the pylon.

Both photos taken with my rolleiflex 2.8D and Ilford Delta 100 developed in rodinal 1:100 stand.

Lynn, Just use the part of the link that says static.

So, for example you would do the following but without the extra spaces:

The Prospect Hill Tower is one block from my home. Here is a bit of history about the tower and US Flag
"On January 1, 1776, General George Washington ordered that a new flag be raised on a 76-foot schooner mast placed on Prospect Hill. Representing the 13 united colonies during the Revolutionary War, this was the first true "American" flag flown in [what is now] the United States."

The tower also affords a wonderful view of the city of Boston.

Pretty much every shot that I take is within walking distance of my house.
I used to think my neighborhood was boring, until I started looking at it through the lens.
