A walk in the park
by Tboard on Mar.03, 2010, under Landscapes
In Harriet Island park, with the high bridge in the background. I have always loved these walkways, maybe because of the way they curve and because of the distinctive street lights.
Traffic

This is the morning traffic on Shepard road. You maybe can’t tell from the photo but it was snowing when I took this shot. it is proof that the snow doesn’t slow us down much . . it just makes some of us cranky.
The most photogenic bridge in St. Paul

The Robert street bridge is the most photogenic bridge in St. Paul. This one was taken on a day when it was very cold. A little river steam in the background and a little early morning light on the bridge. It was too cold to get out of the car but I did pull over to take the shot. If you live around here and see me pulled over stop honking, it won’t make me move any faster.
The Park in the Winter
by Tboard on Jan.14, 2010, under Landscapes, Places
Early in the morning on a cold day. The steam that rises from the Mississippi River, because the river never freezes solid and the open water is warmer than the air. Hard to photograph becasue the photographer doesn’t work well in the cold.
Oak Tree

I took this same shot last Fall. The tree is close to a home that I had for sale. The people who live there saw me out in the street pointing my camera at the tree. I should have stopped and talked to them when I took this photo. I used my 50mm 1.8 lens.
It was a cold dark night

Taken on the longest night of the year from the river bluff South of downtown. It wasn’t really dark. On a cloudy winter night the clouds and snow reflect the light and it doesn’t really get dark . . but it does get cold.
