Both great shots. The items are so large and strong that they really dominate the picture and you can almost feel their intensity and size.

I second the idea for the conservitory. Just seeing your photo made me hunger for some color. Lets set up a day--okay?
Oh and the Vatican Splendor I mentioned on my blog is still happening I think through December. No Photos whatsoever allowed, though :( But yes, it is interesting. Spendy--about $25 per person, students cheaper.

Chin up buddy, we'll make it through the gloom and darkness. I'm trying to think up some indoor photo opportunities for us all.
Great roses, we should head back to the Conservatory in St. Paul!

The last rose of summer...so evocative. I'm surprised they're still blooming in Minneapolis given that it gets pretty cold there..

Gosh - that's a dark poem. Very nice shot of the rose, so delicate. I keep shooting the last rose & then more bloom...it's way to hot here.
BTW - I had a layover in Min. for only an hour. Very nice airport - but the bars close a 9 pm. Luckily subway stayed open for all the delayed flights.

les roses reviendront au printemps, maintenant place à l'hiver et à la neige (enfin j'espère cette année avoir de la neige sur Évry ;o))

roses return in the spring, now up to winter and snow (I hope this year finally have snow on Wyoming ;o))

Quite a shot the Westminster Church!

2008-11-16T14:47:00.000-06:00

on peut chanter la chanson des "demoiselles de Rochefort"

"Nous sommes deux sœurs jumelles
Nées sous le signe des Gémeaux
Mi fa sol la, mi ré
Ré mi fa sol sol sol ré do
Toutes deux demoiselles
Ayant eu des amants très tôt
Mi fa sol la, mi ré
Ré mi fa sol sol sol ré do...."

you can sing the song "The Young Girls of Rochefort"

"We are twin sisters
Born under the sign of Gemini
Mi fa soil, re mi
Re mi fa sol ground floor re do
Both ladies
Having been lovers early
Mi fa soil, re mi
Re mi fa sol re do ...."

Very nice!

Your composition here is so perfect, this should be taught in photography class! I wondered when I saw the image if that sunlight was reflected. Why is it that the reflected sun looks different somehow?

2008-11-15T10:17:00.000-06:00

I like that it is so focused on a small section of the church that what the building is with out the description is somewhat of a mystery. Great use of light and dark, it's really intense.

Wow! You've give Nicollet Mall a real Parisian feel. Love the line of sight and the music. Very nice.
