Burlington, Vermont USA • Seen from my apartment, looking to the west, past the First Unitarian Universalist Society Church.
Erected in 1816 when Burlington was a small town, the Unitarian Church is located on a lot purchased in 1814. The land originally extended to North Street and included Elmwood Cemetery. All houses in the area bounded by Elmwood Avenue, Grant Street and Clarke Street are built upon land still leased to their owners by the church. …
The Boston architect Peter Banner, who also drew plans for the Boston Park Street Church. The building, solidly constructed with large hand-hewed timbers from the Brown's River area of Jericho, held together with wooden pins, has been remodeled several times, inside and out. In 1845 it was "Greek Revivalized" with addition of the massive cornice, bricked-in shortened windows, and brick pilasters at the corners. In 1832 blinds in the spire were removed and glazed windows with fanlights installed. …
The present church bell and clock date from 1928. The "town clock" is a Howard, made by the same company that manufactured the large clocks at Ira Allen Chapel at UVM and the one at City Hall. It replaced one donated by Hervey Burnett in 1873. Before his gift, clock faces covered only three sides of thew tower, but Burnett insisted there be four so that the people in the ten rapidly expanding North End could know the time of day also.

In keeping with my nifty fifty black and white project, this photo is an out of camera jpeg shot while hiking around a local lake. We are finally seeing some milder weather with temperatures rising almost to freezing and the wind settling down. This shot shows what weeks of deep cold and continuous wind will do. The snow on this lake could easily be mistaken for sand dunes in the patterns it has formed.

had a look around the Mary Rose Museum today even though the covers are still on the ship it was incredible to see all the artefacts and listen to people who are passionate about their heritage and preservation. Not allowed to show any pics taken inside until 30th May when it opens to the public.
A seat and a couple, looking out to the Rocky devon coastline near Coleton Fishacre gardens on the South west coastal path and overlooking Pudcombe cove.

Finished your book. Finished your noodles. Done playing chess. Then it's time to just stare out the window and relax.
Route
Photos from a one-month journey on the Trans-Siberian (well ok, actually the Trans-Mongolian) railway starting in Beijing (see set), via Ulaanbaatar, a 12 day trip through Mongolia (see set), a 6 day stopover in Irkutsk and at Lake Baikal (see set), and then finally arriving in Moscow (see set).
'Sunlight, Shadows and Outdoor Street Scene' On Black
Looking toward the wall and out the window at the Meetinghouse Restaurant.
I'm noticing that several of today's posts are influenced by painting. In this case, I'm reminded of the work of Edward Hopper, whose work I've admired since childhood.
Or perhaps a hyperrealist painter...

On our way to Boston to visit family on the Fung Wah bus. Leaving at 7pm on a Friday night meant lots of traffic but also fantastic light during the early part of the trip.
I'm finally learning how to maneuver my 30mm lens better for SP's and also shooting myself with D300s vertically without losing control of it. I wish I could find some kind of strap that lets me velcro the camera around my wrist - I'm always so afraid of dropping it when I hold it that way.
