New York Yankees | Tom Rants.

If those of you who’ve followed along have been wondering if my Photo-A-Day project was going to peter out and be left unfinished, the answer is a definitive, “NO!” Though the past few months have been unbelievably busy and some technological limitations have kept me from uploading and working up the photos from the year’s final four months, I am planning on pushing forward and making sure that all 365 images will make it on to this blog by the end of February.

To get started on that goal, here’s the next week’s worth of images dating from July 29-August 4. Remember, to see any image full size, just click on it!

29-JUL-2013: Pretty sweet wall inside the green room at the Hard Rock Hotel’s appropriately named Vinyl nightclub. Vegas site checks can be fun!

30-JUL-2013: A perfect Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium for a visit from the Yankees – and a different seat location upstairs.

31-JUL-2013: A special moment as Yankee legend Mariano Rivera faces Hanley Ramirez in his final appearance in Los Angeles.

1-AUG-2013: Hanging roses are just about dried and ready to return to a friend who was recently engaged.

2-AUG-2013: An incredible summer sunset sky looking down Broadway in DTLA.

3-AUG-2013: Found this somewhat old and foreboding sign inside the Alexandria Hotel on 5th & Spring in DTLA after having drinks at The Gorbals.

4-AUG-2013: A very special throwback Sunday night treat.

I was lucky enough to spend time in nine states during the week of July 15-21 — California, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine plus Texas, Illinois and Pennsylvania on flight layovers. The best images of the week definitely come from the Midwest and New England. Let’s take a look! (Remember, to see any image at full size, just click on it.)
