This group is for location photography. Photographer's of all levels of experience are welcome. Some ideas I have are to shoot, landscape, cityscape, urban, railroad, cemeteries & Graveyards.

I welcome location suggestions from all the members, and ask that you also get involved in creating your own outings. This way I can offer more than one location on the same day, so everyone has an opportunity …
