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.

Benches in the snow

I like to think of March as the march toward spring. It may not look like it from the photos but we are making progress, the snow was covering the seats.

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.

Glass Fish 2010

I take this shot every February well at least I have for the last three years.  I like the one I took last year better but I chose this one to put on the blog because if you look at the door to the right of the fish you can actually see the car parked a block away.  You may have to click on the image to make it big enough to see.  This is what I like about using HDR processing for interior shots. This image is made up of three bracketed shots which is easy enough to do indoors with nothing moving.   I’ll go back again next February for more target practice with the  Standing Glass Fish at the Minneapolis sculpture garden.
