Barn Owl

This was the best of both worlds for me. While I’ve been primarily a nature/wildlife shooter my photography lately has been focused on urban decay. So while we were exploring an abandoned power plant in East St. Louis two barn owls were inside and started flying around. It was dark and hard to focus but I was able to snap a few shots of these magnificent raptors in flight inside the building. Next time I’ll be prepared.

Moving Time

To make way for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s new headquarters in St. Louis the city has to move a three story brick home 7/10 of a mile to a new location. A lot of hard work and planning by all involved. Glad to see that this beautiful home isn’t getting torn down. A good thing for a part of the city that is usually in the news for the wrong reasons.

Yellow Door

Down in Soulard looking for the naked cake and I spotted this yellow door near Russel and 12th street. Had to stop and take a shot.
