Fletcher Triangle

Looking to the corner of Fletcher and College in the Fletcher Place (see geotag information) neighborhood of Indianapolis...

Brick Above and Below

I love brick and cobblestone paved streets; this one was taken on 10th Street in Indianapolis' St. Joseph neighborhood, just north of Downtown. Much like many of the brick streets in the neighborhoods of Indianapolis, it is in rough condition (which in my opinion adds to its gritty historic feel). I just hope some day in the future, they don't just pave them over like so many others within the neighborhoods.

Staging a Classic Car Chase Scene

I was going for a setting liking to a high speed chase scene in a 1970s movie or TV cop drama. Taken in the east side neighborhood Holy Cross.

Its Winter Time in Chatham Arch

Well, OK, the winter solstice doesn't arrive for another few weeks yet, but this weekend felt like winter. I walked a few streets of Chatham Arch taking advantage of the favorable lighting.

11th and College

11th and Park...This is once of the strangest ice shots I've ever taken; although I can't remember the last time I shot ice.

10th and Park

10th and Central

On Massacheusetts Avenue

Near the newest section of the Cultural Trail

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.

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

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...

Meridian and McCarty

Shapiro's is located on the southwest corner of the intersection...

On the Southeast corner of the intersection...

On the Northwest side of the intersection, the building says Gill Saw Service...

Taking a peek inside, and the condition is worse than the outside... This is definitely worth a view in large.

Shapiro's is a long time Indianapolis icon, and quite a tasty one at that...

Fall Comes to the Old Northside

Fall brings the beautiful sights to us all before leaving way to the cold, dead, brown characteristics of winter. The Old Northside neighborhood is full of mature trees and classic architecture, which makes living here a great privilege.

How better to start this collection than a shot of the street I live on. These trees provide great shade, which helps with my cooling bill in the summer, but scare me somewhat when there's a powerful storm. There are holes in my screen from large fallen branches.


This is taken from a stretch of Talbott, which is actually a dead end alleyway shortly after 14th street.


From the same alleyway of the previous shot...

Lockerbie Walk

I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather yesterday afternoon and went for a walk though Lockerbie Square. The clouds were quite prominant and the sun was beginning to set which made for a successful photo shoot; here are some of the best ones...
