Record Store Day

Did you get out for Record Store Day on Saturday? I’d entertained thoughts about it, but ultimately the reality of trying to jam several days’ worth of responsibility–family, catching up on projects for my paying job, doing some necessary household maintenance–into one gloriously beautiful and too-short Saturday put the kibosh on that plan. So if you braved the lines and the potential multi-hour waits, I hope you managed to snag some decent tunes. For my part, I rolled out of bed earlier than I wanted and hauled my sleepy butt down to the Mississippi River to get this shot of Saint Paul waking up.

Ignition

Found myself standing on the Franklin Avenue Bridge in Minneapolis about 7:15 this morning: the freezing rain had slid past to our south and the temperature was in the tolerable range. I aimed the camera east and waited to see what would happen. The longer I stood there, the better the sky became.
And then just as suddenly, within half an hour, it was over and gone.

This morning is on fire

This would be one of those times the elements WERE with me. Early morning in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Had a long stretch of sand all to myself around the area called Whiskey Beach and got to watch a beautiful sunrise, hoping I could do it justice with the camera. The towers are from World War II and were built as lookout locations; the belief was that after Pearl Harbor, the Delaware Coast were in danger.
