SAVE THE DEPOT

Appropriate words written on the top of Detroit Central Station. This old train station has a long history, but now it is fenced off and abandoned. There are those that want it demolished, and those that want it saved. I can only imagine what this looked like it its day as a thriving station, but now we can only see the beauty in decay.


Old Surrounded by New

Old South Meeting House in Boston. One of the great things about Boston is its history, like this old hall. There is also a lot of new architecture too, and there is no separating them.


Lunar Eclipse

Taken moments before the lunar eclipse on 12/20/2010. This day happens to also be the winter solstice, the first time these two events have happened at the same time since 1638. While this photo is certainly not the best example of moon photography, I’m sure it was certainly better than what they had back then, which would have been to make a sketch.

I have a friend who has had problems with “the moon being in his face” while trying to sleep. I’m sure he had a few extra moments of peace tonight while the moon passed through the earth’s shadow!


Going Down?

These steps in the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse were old, creaky and didn’t really go anywhere, but the view from the top was cool!


The Pokey

The historic Pokey in Murphy’s CA.  Fortunately none of us have had to do any hard time here as the accomodations do not look quite up to standard.


The Ashland Hotel

I knew I had to capture this historic hotel in Ashland Oregon, the clouds were perfect and I was able to incorporate what little traffic there was in this town into the shot.
