St. Paul, MN Photos

A walk in the park

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.

Comcast Building

I got some photos last weekend early in the morning when it was well below zero.  The clouds in the photo are not really clouds but steam from the power plant which is more than a mile down river, maybe two from this spot.  The cloud hangs in the air and blocks some of the sun most of the day.  The river was steaming too because it doesn’t freeze solid and there is open water.  The building is the Comcast building as viewed from across the river.

The Barn

I have been searching for barns to shoot because I like the way the red looks against the snow. This one is at the dodge nature center which is close to home.  Mayne over the weekend I’ll go a bit further away to the big barns that sit out in the open fields.

Boats and Buildings

Taken from Embarcedaro Park in San Diego, CA., a week ago today and I wish I was still there.  It was a kind of working vacation except it was so beautiful that I think I did a little more vacation than work.

Oakland Cemetery

Just in time for Halloween, a day early even. Located in the hear of St. Paul, Oakland cemetery is a great place to shoot fall color and tomb stones.  People are dieing to get in there.

Raspberry Island

It usually isn’t a good idea to take a photo into the sun but this one worked because the mist rising from the ater filtered the rays nicely. It was taken at Raspberry island park on the Mississippi river in St. Paul shortly after the park was completed.  The trees are not as pretty this year but when those Maples grow up it will be spectacular in the fall.
