St Paul Cathedral

I believe this is the north side of the Cathedral in St Paul. I'm always surprised at the detail that went into the construction of this building. It's easily missed until you get out of your car and walk up to see it.

Cathedral From A Far

I've always wanted to take night photos of the Cathedral in St Paul, but until my cold, wintry night, I'd never taken the time to do so. Since it was in plain site from my vantage point, I took a couple of distant shots. I believe I used 4X zoom for the shot. It's a touch on the grainy side, but I'll live with the quality of it for what I take photos with. In the bottom right corner is the Science Museum of Minnesota. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe just to the left of the museum, is the 7 Corners Hardware store. Settings: f/5.6 3.22 sec Canon PowerShot A640

High Atop The Highest Hill

The Cathedral sits on the highest point in St Paul so it can be visible for miles. I'm at a very low vantage point for this photo, but I really like this shot because of the road leading in the direction of the Cathedral. I know the road doesn't directly go to the chapel, but it gives the illusion that it does.

Beauty And The Beast

I've seen this shot in the past by another local photographer and it's always stood out in my mind because of the contrasts between the two buildings. There I was a few weeks ago, in the exact spot for this shot, I had to have one that I could call my own. I left one clue in the photo for the other local daily photo bloggers to figure out where I am standing for this shot. I do wish I had taken this photo a little later in the spring when there would be leaves on the trees to add in more color.
