Bicycle Rack – St. Louis Community College – Forest Park Campus

I took this photo over a month ago but thought I would post it today as I actually managed to ride my bike to work today. Twice. It is not super far–3.3 miles one way through the lovely Forest Park–but it is pretty good for out of shape me to begin to do this. I [...]

Anticipating the Snow – Midnight and Dawn – Cityscape – St. Louis

These shots are taken from my south-facing third floor room, which during the day is flooded with lovely light. I set up the camera on a step-ladder and wanted to record the scene before and after a snowfall. Alas, there was not much snow to be shot. Nonetheless, I do like the panorama these windows [...]

Grasses on a Bright Snowy Morning – From the Hard Drive

Well, it is 11 days into the new year and I have not opened my shutter upon it at all as yet. Apologies, dear readers. This shot is from last year, from the only snowfall we have had this winter in St. Louis, and is posted in hopes that tomorrow will dawn on another one [...]
