Trying to see differently

Last night was the annual ASMP Pints and Pixels gathering. We were encouraged to show some images, and these were the ones I chose. I get to travel a bit, and often wind up at over-photographed places, from a tourist standpoint. I've been trying to make images that aren't the norm.

Niagara Falls from the Canadian side. The branches ice over during the winter.

The TransAmerica building, with an echo of San Francisco's past in the foreground.

The Darwin D. Martin house in Buffalo. I had looked for a photo for about 2 hours, and was only seeing "traditional" views. As the sun went down, these shadows came into play.
