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.

Lake Whetzel in fall season

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

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.

Standing high

Another shot from my trip to Chicago last December. Shot this on the way to the Field Museum.

Brazilian cheese bread

Another foodie shot 😉

Have been wanting to bake this tapioca + cheese bread for a while now and finally got to try it this morning. Turned out great and my daughter loved it.

But shooting this was a bit of a challenge due to unevenness in the puffed tops and any color contrast. So decided to go with high POV.

I think it turned out alright.

Shadows

We had a warm weather this morning (in the 40s) with plenty of sunshine.

I happened to notice strong shadows this morning cast by sun light creeping through our bay windows in our dinning area and falling on my son’s bowling pin. So I decided to do a shoot of the shadows for today’s post.

Then I was debating if I have to seat them over a white board but later decided to go with the carpet to bring in some texture.

Fire escapes – diptych

I salvaged these from my photo archive for this diptych post 😉

Shot these fire escapes behind tall apartment buildings on Wabash Ave. in downtown Chicago during my trip up there in December 2010.
