A SNOWY DAY IN THE PARK
Rice Park and Landmark Center, gorgeous really at any time of the year. I've been there several times during the holidays when it was all lit up and sparkly. I love that state of existence for the park. But today, the park was magical in a different way. It was covered with a fluffly blanket of snow with a bright blue sky surrounding it from above.
With the blue sky, I debated doing this photo in color, however, I think the black and white version definitely emphasizes the snowiness of the moment. The Landmark Center is just one more of those very photographed architectural icons of St. Paul given that it's such a beautiful building and set across the street from such a wonderful green space in the middle of the city. I'm sure that the St. Paul Winter Carnival will be invading the park soon, so we'll see if it produces some fascinating images of classic Winter Carnival scenes.
I know that many of the sites I've shot during this project have been photographed many times over, but I'm thoroughly enjoying adding all these great places to my own portfolio and at the end of the year, I may have to look through all my shots and print some enlargements to hang in my surroundings.
I can't believe that it's already week two of this project and I've easily come up with great things to photograph every day as well as experimenting with methods I've wanted to try all along anyway.
