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…

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…

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…

Brugesycles
When I go through my catalog of images of a place like Bruges, I try to find a few unifying themes that would make good blog posts. While I don’t set out looking for specific things when set out with the camera, I can usually find coherent groupings of images after the fact. So, last…

Damme Town!
After a long walk along the canals, we reached the little town of Damme proper. There were quite a few nice doors decorated for Christmas, but since we are now in the back half of February, I decided to forgo showing any Belgian holiday decorations. The image above was a little bit of a surprise…
