10th and Dearborn

I took some shots of E. 10th Street this weekend with this intersection as the focal point. I went out in the early hours to make use of the morning lighting. Most of these shots have quite a bit of detail to them and are much better if viewed large.


The Rivoli was built in 1927 and is rumored to be haunted...

The Ghost Tree

Paranormal tree activity occuring on Mass Ave...

This is much better if viewed large...

Cuidado

Looking at a bridge over Pleasant Run, near Keystone and Churchman in the Fountain Square South area. I chose this for today's post because I remember taking this shot on a nice 80 degree summer day.

Happy Thanksgiving

The Marott and the Joseph W. Summers Memorial Bridge

I experimented with noise and lighting to imitate a worn and retro look. Taken at Meridian and Fall Creek...

The Stutz

Automobiles were once manufactured here back when Indianapolis was the first 'Motor City' in the early 20th century. Located at the corner of 10th and Capitol...




These two have detail that is best if viewed large...

Can't Fight City Hall

...But you can vacate it ;) I have decided to post an Indianapolis Historic Structure oriented post every day this week. The old City Hall building(built 1910) is today's feature; it has been at one time, a location for the Indiana State Museum and the Indianapolis/Marion County Central Library.

The front...






The back...

Around Union Station

All taken around Jackson and Louisiana Streets...

Crappy Graffiti

I love looking at and photographing good street art and graffiti, but these are neither. These both on the south side, and provide me a chance to pawn off some of my useless pop culture prowess ;)

"He's never early, he's never late...The one thing you know is you always gotta wait"...Bonus points to who can identify that song.

Taken near the corner of Union and Morris.

OMG, they stimulated Kenny!!!

Taken along the Pleasant Run Trail, near Shelby Street.

New York and East

In the heart of Lockerbie Square...

This one is better if viewed large....

Have a lens set to 10mm and point it almost straight up = Interesting geometry

Timber

At the corner of Pleasant Run and Beecher, near Garfield Park...

Delaware and Ft. Wayne

It gets dark so early now a days so prepare for tons of night shots!

Pennsylvania and St. Clair

I haven't used my telephoto lens in quite a while, so I decided to take a few shots with it in front of the Central Library...

Lonely Pumps

Taken at the IPS bus depot (the old Coca Cola bottling plant) at the corner of College and Mass...

Much better if viewed large...

The Crater

At the corner of Ft. Wayne and Pennsylvania...

Make Way!

DPW was showing off its new fleet of snow plow trucks around lunchtime on Thursday. I briefly imagined them as Soviet tanks on parade, demonstrating our snow removal superiority and readiness.

Hot asphalt...Not much like snow at all, but its close proximity to the snow vehicles make it an accomplice.

Shots 1 and 2 are better if viewed large...

Talbott/Pennsylvania and Morris

This section is not too far from the Sacred Heart area on the south side.

This mural runs from Talbott all the way to Madison...

Illinois and McCarty

I always like to start a show with a bang, but this entrance to Indianapolis has other plans...


An architecturally distinct power substation...




My trespassing shadow makes yet another appearance...

10th / Mass / Highland / Brookside

The Culmination of Massachusetts, Highland, and Brookside at east 10th Street.

Looking at the Circle City Industrial Complex that sits at the large intersection...
