And now for something completely different . . . .  

Can you find deep meaning in this black and white photo of empty, unlabeled beer bottles mindlessly marching towards their destiny, which is to be filled with delectable Bud Light?

I can't.

But I have always liked touring factories and I found the Budweiser factory in St. Louis photographically interesting. Unfortunately, I had to work fast when I stopped to take photos so I wouldn't be left behind. Oh, and we got free samples of beer at the end of the tour. And a Bud Light hat. But I accidentally left the hat on the bus when I went back to the hotel. So sad.

Canon 5DIII 1/15s* f/4.0 ISO640 47mm

*Photographer friends: I hope you're impressed that I got a fairly sharp photo that was hand held at 1/15th of a second. Thank you Image Stabilization!
