Hey all,
Having lived in Omaha for a year now, I've really enjoyed this site and the discussions about the growth of Omaha. I'd like to share some photos I've taken of Omaha since I've been here. Enjoy!

I'm originally from southern California, I currently attend Creighton.

Welcome to the forum. Those are amazing pictures. I like the one with the lightening (that must take some skill or luck). Are you a professional photagrapher?

Fabulouse photos, Jetson!! That view of Creighton on the hill is one of my favorites.

Welcome! And keep taking photos!

Sweet photos. My favorites is the one with the lightning and the last one. Good timing on the lightning pic!

Thanks everyone, I hope to take more pictures of Omaha in the future when I have some extra time. I've been doing photography for a long time but just as a hobby. If anyone wants to check out my other pictures, my website is http://www.naturesamerica.com Thanks!

These are great. I have not seen the skyline draped in the cool cloud formations before. I think we take for granted the beautiful sunsets and cloud formations that we see on the Great Plains.

Very nice.

Well, it's a whole different discussion that we've had a million times, but Omaha is not on the the great plains "persay". But anyway, this isn't the place to "get into it."

I agree, though, that we take our natural beauty for granted.

I am wanting to know if anyone has taken or found any photos of downtown taken from or just off abbott drive. It is my favorite view of the skyline, yet have yet to find any pictures taken from this angle.

Here are some pictures of the view from last winter when everything was ugly. It's a good view nonetheless.

I just realized one nice 350 footer in place of the old UP headquarters would go a long ways towards filling in the skyline from this angle.

I was out today and saw that if you go to a certain section of Carter Lake that you can see the Kiewit building beside MutualofO. I think that when DT and MT are together that that is the best view.

Hi all! New (more or less temporary) resident from Baton Rouge LA here ... this looks like an awesome site, great discussion and fascinating pictures/stories. Very glad to have heard about this site!

Meanwhile, figured I'd share a few pics I took of street scenes at the last Omaha Farmer's Market for the fall:

a band from my homeland

playing at the Market

er, the sign says it all I suppose

the weatherbeaten painted names on sides of buildings thing somehow has a certain charm for me ...

see, the courtyards in New Orleans may be pretty enough to tempt someone to dine al fresco, but at least here it's actually comfortable to do so!

For now ... cheers and adieu!
