Today’s Gothic installment is of the cemetery nearby to yesterday’s Gothic gates. Perfect pairing, isn’t it? This is from the national cemetery. The symmetry of the rows of historic – and heroic – graves is simply breathtaking. You can purchase prints of this work HERE. (I would love for you to come back to visit, […]

Today’s Gothic installment is a gorgeous gate that located in Jefferson Barracks National Park. I love these old gates. So, of course, I Gothic’d the heck out of them! Admittedly, I edited the very dickens out of this to get the effect I wanted. The gates themselves aren’t actually in use. They are historic and […]
I’m kicking off a week of some of my favorite Gothic(ish)-themed images. I love taking pictures with a Gothic or vaguely creepy tinge to them. I guess it’s a natural offshoot of my love of Film Noir and horror movies and all that. But, invariably, I’ll take a beautiful picture of something and try to […]
It’s the end of another, so here’s a wrap-up of anything you might have missed! Thanks for following along! With the exception of a quick bike tour, we spent a lot of time along the banks of the Mississippi this week. Monday, we daydreamed about The River Barge: Tuesday, we strolled along the beautiful Riverwalk: […]
This picture almost got tossed. I’m sure there are some out there who think it still should be. It’s imperfect. The focus is sketchy. But, there is something about it I ended up really liking, after messing with it for several hours to see if it was even salvageable. This is one of those times […]
This is one of those times I wish I had Hermoine Granger’s Time-Turner in the Harry Potter books. Actually, I’d probably be dangerous if I did have one, because I would be forever tripping back in time to see what something was and how it was used. This is definitely one of them. I have […]
I love finding new ways to use old things and, over the Christmas holidays, I was in Old Town St. Charles, MO, taking pictures of the main street, which is just chock full of incredibly historic buildings, cobblestone streets, and during the holidays, some of the most gorgeous decorations and engaging street performers you’ll find […]
Another take on the river traffic in nearly constant motion on the Mississippi, I found this barge tethered to the shore during one of my walks with The Hubs. I, of course, immediately started to imagine what had been on it, who had worked on it, and why it was left tied to the shoreline… […]
I love how this picture turned out. The new portion of the riverwalk at Jefferson Barracks National Park is just beautiful. This is the walk bridge that crosses into the new section. This shot combined my love of landscape photography with my love of abstract shapes, texture, and perspective, so it was definitely a win-win […]
Honestly, if you live near a river like the Mississippi, you could take pictures forever and never run out of new things to shoot. There’s something endlessly fascinating about the lives and work that seems to be constantly present on the river. This was taken on another chilly walk with The Hubs. Sometimes, the only […]
