    Bama Back Roads

    I am inordinately fond of road trips, particularly ones that happen on two-lane roads. They are such a great way to experience the country. This is especially true as a photographer because you have the freedom to pull over for interesting subjects. The elaborate water tower above was actually along Interstate 65, but close enough…

    Twickenham Columns

    The Twickenham neighborhood in Huntsville, Alabama, is very close to downtown Huntsville. The columns above are not in that neighborhood, per se, but are close enough that we passed them on the same walk. Huntsville isn’t a particularly large city (population 225,000) but, even so, that there can be so many spectacular homes in its…

    Decatur Decay

    In addition to the “prettier” pictures of Decatur that I shared last week, I found plenty of more worn and weathered tidbits, too. I love the colors in the image above: the blue-green oxidized copper goes really well with the blue-gray asphalt roof tiles. There’s a lot of nice textures, too, including a fine wire…

    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…

    Spring Comes to the Swamp

    Five weeks can make a difference. All of a sudden you say, “Wow. It’s green.” All of the images this week are taken along the Beaver Dam Boardwalk in the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, an irregularly-shaped reserve that straddles the Tennessee River and some of its swampy tributaries. I have visited this trail three times…

    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…

  • Cokedale

    Cokedale

    Heading west from Trinidad, Colorado, you can drive an 82-mile half-circle on what is known as the “Highway of Legends.” Early along this route we passed the vast coke oven ruins at Cokedale, above, which was a bizarre and unexpected feature. These are the remains of 350 ovens, arranged on both sides of two nested…
