Another jewel from my vacation in Paris!

P.S. Coming soon: details on holiday origami classes next week at The Hive (Friday Dec. 14, 6:30-8PM) and Art Haven (Tuesday Dec. 18, 6:30-8PM).

Door details

At Brown’s Mall.  Former offices of the Encyclopedia Britannica? (or is there another explanation for the thistle emblem over the door?)

Memories of Paris

More scrumptiousness from my recent vacation in Paris… the Eiffel Tower at night.

No tripod, zero retouching. Have I mentioned how much I love this camera?

Happy Halloween!

Another gargoyle shot from Notre Dame in Paris. Possibly my best photo from all this vacation.  Shot at max telephoto without a tripod, thanks to the great low-light capabilities of my new Sony a65 camera!  The only retouching I did was to crop the photo, slightly adjust the contrast on the moon’s face, and remove some color fringing. And add the discreet copyright notice on the top ledge.

Gargoyles

I haven’t gotten many closeups yet, but here this at least gives a flavor of the gargoyles… I hope to post more later.

Posting from Paris

Enjoying my vacation in Paris. It’s almost as beautiful as Gloucester!

Man at the Wheel

 

Click on the photo to see it much larger.  It’s interesting how the perspective and panoramic distortion make the the circle of plaques into a straight line, and the convergent lines on the pavement look roughly parallel!  I took this panorama a while ago, but only got around to putting it together now…

Flowers Face the Fall

Despite the cloudier and cooling climate, some flowers apparently feel fine.

More photos are on my photostream on Flickr.

The Eurodam in Gloucester

Gee-whiz, ain’t she big!
She brings lots of visitors to our local landmarks
The temperature was nice, but the sky looked like autumn

Photos from a Gloucester photographer

I’ve been mostly staying indoors for over a week to get over a cold, so I don’t have many new photos of Gloucester itself ready to post. So, these are not photos of Gloucester, but they are still relevant because they are photos by a Gloucester photographer – i.e., a few of photos from my vacation in New York.

Autumn arrives on Dale Avenue

Somewhere between when I took this photo on Thursday, and the following photo on Friday, they put the hands back on the clock.  I wish I had been able to get photos of that moment!

Slivers of early reflected sunlight

Early sunlight glints off the metal cross on the steeple of St. Ann’s Church.
