SPARKLY PARK
Today, I kind of feel like this image is a compromise, but I guess every day is not going to produce perfection. This is where I wait for the bus in the evening. This is as close as I could get to capture the essense of what it's like when the sun goes down there. This is the same park I took yesterday's shot from but I'm facing south with the Landmark Center to my back.
Rice Park is another one of those St. Paul spots that is just a place you love to go during nearly any season or weather. The City took down the big blue tree that's normally the focal point of the lights during the holidays, but since the holidays are over, now it's just all sparkle in a non holiday way.
Tonight it was snowing as I waited for the bus, and it was such a pretty winter evening, other than the fact that I was nearly freezing to death trying to get the right angle on my shot! The reason I'm not significantly pleased with the shot is it just seems a little grainy, and just not as beautiful as I'd hoped, but it was the best of what I got today. I think I've concluded that night stuff, unless I have more time, is just not my forte.
I would love for warmer weather to come now, and time for me to shoot something that is not so "St. Paul."
