Go Raptors Go!

by Dale Walsh

Because of the Toronto Raptors historic 2019 NBA Championship win over the Golden State Warriors I have decided to send all my images this round from that fair city. Interiors are Fuji Velvia RVP 100F and exteriors are Provia RDP III taken with the TL 120.

Ontario College of Art And Design It kind of looks like they wanted to preserve the building underneath and stuck this one on top of it.

Roger’s Toronto Late Afternoon.  This is a cha-cha and I got pretty lucky with the lack of clouds and so not much movement between shutter clicks in the bottom although I just noticed a ladder or small crane in one image and not in the other one. I took a bunch at sunset but they are unviewable because of the cloud movements in the sky. This was taken from the balcony of  by brother’s appartement very close to the centre of the city which is basically Yonge and Bloor streets.

Do Not Talk To Prisoners Through Bars!

by dorothy mladenka

burnet-barsaTaken in Burnet, Texas in 2014. This historic jail was built in 1884 of hand-hewn rock. It has an apartment for the sheriff who is also the jailer. On the second floor the county library was founded. The former jail is still being used by one of the county departments. The city of Burnet is nestled in the heart of the Texas Hill Country surrounded by rolling hills, lakes, beautiful geologic formations and historical sites. The historic square features buildings from as early as the 1880’s and offers a variety of unique shops and eateries. Drive in or take the Hill Country Flyer Historic Train (which is what we did) from Cedar Park, located on the edge of Austin. Watch the Burnet Gunfighter’s fight it out at the Old West Town on Saturday and Sunday. Taken with the TL120, available light handheld.

 

 

Goliad Market Days, Texas

by dorothy mladenka

folio-4Goliad Market Days is an open air market which combines an arts and crafts fair, farmers market and community festival.  Market Days are held to relive Goliad’s traditional role as a crossroads for commerce, beginning with the 1700s’ Spanish-colonial trade from Mexico to Nacogdoches.  The tradition continued throughout the 19th century, as Goliad was included on the routes for oxcarts, freight wagons, and stagecoaches. Today, Goliad Market Days is one of the largest and most popular street markets in South Texas. Goliad is the third oldest municipality and is rich in Texas history. It is the County Seat of Goliad County, one of the oldest counties of Texas. First named Santa Dorotea by the Spaniards in the 16th century, its name was changed February 4, 1829 to Goliad. The name is an anagram derived from the last name of a Spanish missionary priest, Father Hidalgo.

Shadows On the Teche

louisiana plantationLocated in New Iberia’s Main Street District, set among towering live oak trees draped with Spanish moss on the banks of Bayou Teche, The Shadows, built in 1834 for sugar planter David Weeks, paints a vivid picture of life for the four generations that made this property their home. The Shadows is a Classic Revival-style home with a Louisiana Colonial floor plan and a garden that is as breathtaking as the history preserved here.  Continue reading →

Grrrrrrrrrr!

GrrrrrrrrFormer car parts and spoons take the shapes of mysterious creatures including prehistoric reptiles, bugs, and even aliens at Scrap Daddy’s Art Yard. Art forms are scattered throughout this museum of sorts, among overgrown grass and metal scraps. Welder and gallery owner, Mark Bradford has an eclectic eye for art that has moved him to put his own distinctive mark on the many metal sculptures displayed in the outdoor gallery. Sights for innovative eyes include the 20-foot praying mantis (that I can’t get out of my mind), a flying saucer, and an automobile-sized scorpion. Bradford welcomes free visits to his yard daily.

Bethel Baptist Church

by dorothy mladenka

Bethel churchThe new Bethel Baptist Church Park was developed while memorializing the history and significance of this land to the Fourth Ward. Fourth Ward was the site of the original Freedmen’s Town neighborhood established by freed slaves after the Civil War. Bethel Missionary Baptist, founded in the late 1800’s by the Rev. Jack Yates, has had three sanctuaries on the same site, the earliest built in the 1890’s. The most recent church building, built in 1923, was gutted by fire in 2005, but the walls are still standing. The city bought the property in 2009 to preserve the church facade and to provide park space. The Bethel Park Project restored three walls and converted the rest of the property into a park. It is a really cool place to sit and meditate.

 

God Bless Texas

by dorothy mladenka

god-bless-texasThis image was taken with the TL 120 in a cemetery south of San Antonio, Texas. I was looking for a different kind of cemetery image. It sort of worked. Handheld under a bright sunny Texas sky. This was taken in 2012 when we had a bumper crop of color. I didn’t think to take thumbnails of my photos before I sent the folio on. So I dug out the extras I had and used the closest match.
