St. Paul, MN Photos

Victorian

This house is a small one and it used to be painted  black and white. I like it better this way.

Weisman Museum

Some say it is an ugly building, some say it is beautiful.  I think it is interesting.  It was built in 1992 and houses the Weisman museum on the University of Minnesota campus.  The building is very well known and a favorite of local photographers.  The best time to shoot it is probably at sunset but it is kind of interesting at dawn too, as it  becomes what ever color the sky is.   I make no apology for my messy verticals but plan to go back again for another try.

The University of Minnesota has it all for those who like to take architectural photos.  There are very modern buildings and plenty of gems from the past.  I keep promising myself that I will spend a day on campus when it is a bit warmer just to take pictures.

Water Lillie

In the late afternoon the sun hits the pond and lights up the Lillie.  This is the first I have seen in bloom this year at the Como Park Conservatory but I know it won’t be the last and I will try not to shoot them all.

Table for two

It is about the pears.  The table is on the skyway over 6th Street just outside of Macy’s.  It wouldn’t be a very good place to sit and chit chat but would be a great place for people watching.

Popcorn Stand

I went downtown so I could go for a walk through the skyways. It is always warm in the skyways, maybe too warm.  I love popcorn and so this is where I bought my lunch at the popcorn stand in the Osborn building.   The shadow of the man to the left talking on his cell phone isn’t supposed to be in the picture so please just ignore him.
