Dunn Bros coffee & Burger Moes on West 7th, St. Paul, MN

Not much snow but we got a dusting this week.   I am not a fan of snow but a little white is better than  a lot of brown.

Park Liquors - near St. Clair in St. Paul, MN

Can you see the clock?

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.

5th Street - lowertown downtown

We miss things when we look at out phones.

Saint Louis King of France Church

The weather has been amazing and I took a little time off on Sunday for a photo walk.  This is the corner of 10th street E. and Cedar street in downtown St. Paul.  You can stand on the corner and see an interesting combination of old buildings and new ones.  They look like they belong together.

Art Park

This is the side of Hinding Heating on West 7th street in St. Paul.  I had to grab a shot because bricks and rust are two of my favorite subjects and as you can see we have a little snow now.

Christos in the Union Depot - St. Paul, MN

I like black and white photography.  I should do more of it.  This photo is from last weekend when someone left the door to the Union Depot unlocked.  I know Christos is open again but there was not a soul in site.   The depot was built before color film was invented which is why it looks so nice in black and white.

The Bus

I went downtown early one morning to photograph holiday lights.  I plan on going back in the evening when there is some activity and more lights on.   There were others out taking photos in the dark which is unusual at 5:30 in the morning.  They were trying to get shots that were less “urban”.  I understand really I do but part of urban photography is vehicles, lights, signs, trash cans, power lines and people.  . . . or maybe a bus speeding right through the photo.

Lights in Rice Park

Rice Park looks a bit more festive when there is some snow but I could not pass up a rare opportunity to photograph the park without any cars parked along the street.   It was too windy to photograph the lights at night so I waited until dawn.  I am sure I will be back for more photos.  The lights stay up until some time in February so I am sure there will be plenty of photo opportunities with snow.
