Magic Hour

We have been enjoying warm weather here in the St. Louis area and took my son for a walk last evening as the Sun was settling down for the day.

Shot this silhouette of the houses in our community along with the contrails few minutes after the sunset.

Waiting…

Shot this Amtrak waiting area with colored glasses when I visited Amtrak station.

I think cool colored glasses along with silhouette of the person waiting adds a “mood” effect to this shot.

That building with a giant mural…take 2

Here is different POV of the mural with painted sculpture.

Personally I prefer this over my yesterday’s post. I think the blue sky along with the Hwy overpass adds a nice touch to this shot.

That building with a giant mural…

If you are from St. Louis area you should be able to recognize this giant mural shot with a painted sculpture of Peace..It’s a shot of Sheraton in downtown St. Louis.

I have passed this building umpteen times and have been wanting to take a shot of this mural. I had a chance to visit Amtrak station last evening and shot this from Civic Center MetroLink station.

Sliced

It’s one of those days that we photog encounter very often…got something up in the mind but when you try putting these together (or execute), you don’t like the way things turn out or at least you know it won’t work.

I had a foodie related shot in mind but it didn’t work out this morning. So I ended up doing a macro shot of sliced strawberry. Since I have already shot strawberry (day: 291, day: 39) for my 365 project, had to go for a different way of plating these for this shot.

Frozen lake Whetzel

Shot frozen lake Whetzel during my visit to the park last evening.

There is a bonus shot here – another shot of lake Whetzel from last fall season.

Lake Whetzel in fall season

Here is a shot of lake Whetzel with it’s fall glory – shot on October 15, 2010

Waiting…

Shot this at a park near home as I was waiting for my daughter to get back from her chess club meet. It was about 5pm and the Sun was just about to set.

I really like the shadow of the tree upon the melting snow/ice, warmth and glow of the evening sunlight in this sunset shot.

Holes

Spotted these holes on our ice/snow covered backyard this evening.

Upon close observation, they turned out to be caused by a furry friend (read that as rabbit) in our backyard who has done his/her business 😉

Church and Sunset

Remember this Church shot from Oct 2010.

We happened to be in that neighborhood and shot this as the Sun was descending down.

I really like the tree branches in the foreground. Although it seems a bit cluttered, I think it adds a nice “mood” effect to this shot.
