LONG WAVELENGTH WATERWAYS

Around the bend in the same artificial lagoon in Forest Park. Pretty bridge, pretty landscaping, and the strange shadings of infrared light images. Our everyday world in a way we can never see on our own.            

WEDDING IN WHITE

I needed a couple of days worth of material and, as happens often, I didn't have an idea in my head. Just for something different, I got out my camera that has the sensor modified for infrared and headed to Forest Park.

It was a Saturday afternoon and, as usual in good weather, there were wedding parties out for photographs at the scenic spots. This is the end of what's called the Grand Basin. For a good backdrop, the art museum is up a hill at the other end. Infrared images turn green foliage nearly white. It fits the occasion. 

The image inventory will fill up quickly this week. The St. Lou Fringe,  https://www.stlfringe.org/, starts tomorrow night and, like every year, I'll be there snapping away.            

WE DO?

We do!

Seen in front of the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park, which is more interesting than it sounds. I don't know who the sign is meant for. It doesn't refer to a current exhibit.         

ELLIE CONFRONTS ART

The family wandered through the galleries of the art museum while Ellie was on her scavenger hunt. This sculpture wasn't on the list but the kid seemed transfixed by it, at least for the moment. I wonder what was going on in her not-quite 10 year old brain.                      

ARBOR

Still in the art museum's sculpture garden. The arrangement of the trees may be as interesting as the art itself. Indeed, the landscape architecture is a work of art. This view shows how the different species of trees compliment one another.
