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

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

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
