McDonald's at the Mall of America

Yesterday I had breakfast at the McDonald’s at the Mall of America.  I don’t like to shop but I love going to the mall in the winter because I can walk for miles and it is warm, colorful and well lit.  This McDonald’s overlooks the mall’s amusement park.  If you have not seen it you should go.

A no Horse Sleigh

Sitting on the sidewalk at west 7th and Chestnut in front of Wescott Station.  It is either supposed to be a holiday decoration or maybe it is for a small child with a large dog.

Grand Avenue

My favorite kind of photography but I don’t have time to do much of it. When I am out at night on the street it is like I am invisible and my camera captures all kinds of things.  This shot was taken on Grand Avenue in St. Paul, MN

Not In Service

I keep my camera handy when I travel even at the airport.  This photo was taken in a BART station on the way to the SFO air train.  I think they lined all of those orange cones up just for my camera.

mickey's dining car

I have oh so many photos of this.  it is a local landmark . . is that a good enough excuse?  Colorful, looks good day and night. Mickey’s dining car, St. Paul, MN . . the food is good too.  Maybe I’ll just build a gallery with nothing but photos of Mickey’s.

Park Square Theater

This is one of those shots that just kind of happened when I was out shooting something else.  It sat on my camera card unoticed for a couple of weeks. Taken on 7th plaza in downtown St. Paul. I wonder who the woman is who is hiding behind the planter? When I process my photos I am often surprised at what I see.  It was the lights and the shadows that made me want to photograph this and I didn’t notice anything else.
