Tired Places in Old Madison
Madison, Alabama, has a cute little historic downtown. It’s not large—only a block or two long—and although it looks fresh and well-manicured, if you stray even a short distance beyond that immediate area there are a lot of structures that have been abandoned or neglected. It’s entirely predictable where I ended up. The building above…

Shady Shores
A few months ago I posted about our visit to the Alabama gulf coast, in particular Gulf State Park and the birds I photographed in the area. One day while we were driving back to our hotel, I spotted the brightly multi-colored building featured here. I didn’t stop then, but made sure to go back.…

Yorkshire Pudding
Well, this is the final installment of my Yorkshire 2025 blog series. The previous seven posts have each corresponded to one day of photography. This wrap-up post gives me a chance to include an assortment of images that I did not include along the way. (There are also a few that I have featured at…

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…

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…
