Took this last weekend, while The Hubs and I were exploring downtown. Loved the perspective of the modern buildings with the peek of the gothic City Hall building in the background. And the rain. I went for a little moody on this process, with just a touch of HDR. Just a bit of the cinematic […]

Wednesday, I shared part one of the McPike Mansion photo tour and, yesterday, I shared part two. Today, we participate in a Seance and finish out the tour! After we got to look inside the upstairs of the house and had the presentation on the family history of the property, a very nice lady took center stage. […]
So, yesterday, I shared part one of the McPike Mansion Photo Tour, put together by the owners of the mansion and the Alton Area Photography Group. Today, we take a look at what happened after dark! 😀 The mansion itself is still condemned, even though the owners have put a lot of money into it already […]
The Hubs and I were really excited this past Sunday night, because we were getting to take part in a photo tour of the infamous haunted house, the McPike Mansion, an event put together by the Alton Area Photography Group! I’m splitting up the pictures I took at the McPike Mansion into multiple posts, because I […]
So, Sunday night, The Hubs and I had joined an event being hosted for an Alton area photography group at the McPike Mansion, one of the most haunted houses in the Midwest and once featured on a television program documenting the Scariest Places on Earth. And, now that she’s got some free time, as her run as […]

The Hubs really likes these street lamps and kept pestering me to get pictures of them. So I did. Heh. Then, of course, I just had to play with it. Black and white seemed right. A little […]
Good morning/afternoon/evening! Hope you are having a fab start to your week! I’m just sharing a quick one today – the amazing Clock Tower at St. Louis’ Union Station with a detail of the very cool street lights nearby. The Hubs took Friday and today off work, so we’ve spent the weekend enjoying ourselves. But, I […]
Went to downtown St. Louis with The Hubs the other day and we spent some of the time at Union Station. The building itself has been photographed more times than I can count, but I started looking at the gorgeous details and thought I would share one of the detail shots I took today. Such a […]
I can’t believe I overlooked this shot I got at the old Missouri Mines historic site a few weeks ago! This was one of The Hubs‘ favorites from that shoot! The Hubs said this shot reminded him of something out of King Kong. LOL It’s certainly oversized, pretty intimidating, and certainly vintage. I guess I […]
The safety record sign present at the old, abandoned mine, with the lead names of the safest workers still vaguely discernible after all these years… (I would love for you to come back to visit, so please SUBSCRIBE using one of the buttons I have up there at the top on the left. And be sure to find me on […]
