Both of my most recent apartments have stone walls here and there where they built on slightly hilly areas. It seems to me like this is an easy oen to find and looks nice enough for a picture.

I also did a shoot at the Ballpark in Arlington because it's a few miles from my place and I wanted something interesting.

Thanks!

That's what I get for looking at pics w/o my readers.

Ah, the joys of middle age. :)

I like to look for interesting backgrounds but, you need to be careful not to detract from the bike.

I've often done the white garage door shot for my CL advertisements. It usually works well for that.

But not so well with white bikes, so for those I have used the side of my garage.

But I've noticed that my neighbor's terraced yard works well, too.
