Lifeguard stand


A business conference kept me in meetings for most of the day, but I was able to sneak to the beach for a few minutes before dinner.

This is day 39 of Photo 365.

Ocean view

Hotel Del Coronado, San Diego
A room mix up at Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego put their customer service team on full alert. It was no biggie to me but I got an upgrade with a view.

This is day 38 of Photo 365.

City abstract

Downtown Saint Paul
This was my favorite abstract today – a quiet city, yet in motion.

I hope you enjoyed day 35 of Photo 365. Do you have a favorite abstract between the two? Let me know.

Bus abstract

Metro Transit
I went looking for an abstract tonight. The light was bouncing off frozen streets and the fresh snow gave everything a glow.

The problem? I actually had two abstracts I liked. This is the runner up for day 35 – a blurred image of a Metro Transit bus barreling through downtown to make all of the green lights.

Finding Nemo

Our hosts for the Super Bowl had a fish tank with Nemo! I apologize for the grain; the light wasn’t the best. But a real live Nemo felt worthy of the spotlight, regardless of the photo quality.

This is day 34 of Photo 365.

Forever Saint Paul

Lowertown, Saint Paul Union Depot
Volunteers are currently putting together an enormous Lite-Brite mural inside the Saint Paul Union Depot in an effort to break a Guinness World Record for Largest Picture Made by Lite-Brite. The work of art, titled “Forever Saint Paul,” was designed by Ta-coumba Aiken, a well known and respected artist in Lowertown. The project will launch the Forever Saint Paul Challenge, a $1 million grant for the best idea of making the city of Saint Paul greater than she already is.

Anyone in the community is welcome to come to Union Depot until February 15 between the hours of 12:00-8:00 p.m. to help install lights into the mural. The official lighting ceremony is at 7:00 p.m. on February 16 at Union Depot.

These volunteers and Lite-Brite pieces are day 33 of Photo 365.
