Decatur Preserve
During our time in Alabama, we tried to explore the area within easy reach of where we were staying in Madison, immediately west of Huntsville in northern Alabama. One of the first places we went was Decatur, a city on the Tennessee River. There were several nice historic neighborhood walks featuring many different styles of

Three Red Windows
Decatur, Alabama. March 2025.

Huntsville Train Depot
We just returned from ten weeks in Alabama where my wife was on a temporary assignment for work. As you would expect, I used this as an opportunity to photograph some new places, which has given me a nice backlog of images to share. I’ll have a plenty of (green!) landscapes going forward, but I’ll

East from Trinidad
As part of our quest to explore as many roads as possible in Colorado, my wife and I spent a day on a long drive—I think is was about a 400-mile loop—that took us east across the bottom of Colorado to within about three miles of the Kansas border, followed by a return through the

Traipsing in Trinidad
In addition to exploring what I could of the defunct Holy Trinity School in Trinidad, Colorado, I wandered around in and near the downtown area looking for visually interesting things. The vertical lamppost contrasts nicely with the horizontal brickwork in the image above. The pattern really stands out because of the angle of the harsh

Holy Trinity School 1870-2004
Since we moved to Colorado a little over two years ago, Susan and I have been working to explore the state that we now call home. Some of our explorations are just day trips, but we also take long weekends to get a little further afield. On this blog, I have tended to prioritize the

Bye-bye to Bruges
My time in Belgium was very short: only two full days, plus a few hours on either end. But in a city setting where I am always on foot, I can take a lot of pictures. In this case, about 1,200 in Bruges and a few hundred more around Damme. Even though the weather was

Snippets of Bruges
I was bound to have a post that was largely isolated windows, doors, and drainpipes, wasn’t I? Well, this is the Bruges Edition of exactly that. These first two images, above and below, are obviously of the same building. For whatever reason I did not take an image of the door and the window together—it

Bruges at Night
Part of the fun of exploring Bruges in the run-up to Christmas is all the lights and light-shows scattered around the city center. Since recapping Christmas decorations isn’t something that is going to appeal to anyone in late March, I chose pictures for this post that, by and large, aren’t overtly Christmasy. In the image

A Bolder Bruges
Bruges has a lot of brick walls. Most are unpainted. Of the ones that are painted, most are in muted colors either due to intent or age. When there are bolder colors, they are usually on the doors and window shutters. All of this is admittedly a generalization, but the bolder colors usually caught my
