Jackson Street

This is Jackson Street in downtown St. Paul, taken while it was snowing and processed on my iPad using three apps.  I could not replicate this but I had fun with it.

Swede Hallow Cafe

It wasn’t foggy outside it was my camera lens that created the fog it got that way when I stopped in the cafe for a cup of tea.

Door on Church of the Assumption

So many details on this door with the wood and stone and glass.  It is too bad that local laws require all of those railings.

Rectory Assumption church

Located on W. 7th street in downtown St. Paul.  Standing next to the church where it belongs. It was built in the 1870′s by German Catholics.

Mansard Roof

I needed this photograph for my real estate site to show and explain what a Mansard style roof is.  Yup a picture will do it every time.

Turret

One of my favorite St. Paul homes complete with turret.  I don’t live in a house with a turret because . . . never mind.  I am going to say this home is a Queen Anne style victorian home.

Mickey's

It isn’t easy to blog without internet access and ours has been out for a few days and no one knows when it will be restored but I still believe that it will be restored some day.  The photo is of Mickey’s diner on 7th street.  I have several other photos of it on the blog because it is fun to photograph.

lamp post

Taken at the church of  the Assumption on 7th street in St. Paul.  I like the simplicity of the decorations and the red ribbons.

Church

 of the Assumption 

This church is located on 7th street in downtown St. Paul.  It is over 150 years old.  A catholic church built by German immigrants.   Architectural photography is still my favorite and I spent a few hours at this church.  I think I could have made a day of it there is so much to take in.
