Warhol’s Letters

2020-Aug-192020-Aug-18 adohertyhLeave a comment

Displaying Andy Warhol’s correspondence in these hanging frames within a Prague museum makes a three-dimensional timeline of his life between two continents.

Falls Profile

2020-Aug-172020-Aug-16 adohertyhLeave a comment

Rolling Adirondack foothills make for a whole array of waterfalls around the North Country. Lampson Falls looks particularly good from this “impossible” (sans drone) profile perspective, with sunset light reflecting off the pool in the foreground.

Chicago Interstate

The grayness of Chicago-area sprawl takes on a golden hue at sunset.

California Transplants

2020-Aug-122020-Aug-11 adohertyhLeave a comment

Against the backdrop of mostly native flora on the hillside, the palms and vines in the foreground are notable for being (1) particularly emblematic of California, in spite of being (2) transplants from elsewhere.

Returning for Dinner

As evening arrives, tourists recross Prague’s Charles Bridge (in both directions) to return to hotels and dinners that await them.

Yellow Leaves by Vltava

2020-Aug-072020-Aug-06 adohertyhLeave a comment

Autumn may not be peak tourist season in Prague, but the remaining foliage makes for an effective supplement to the red and white that otherwise dominate the city’s color palette.

Prague Facades

2020-Aug-05 adohertyhLeave a comment

The buildings of Prague at dusk have a warm glow that I think the HDR technique captures perfectly.

As the evening grows chilly, is anything more welcoming than a Bohemian café?

Richardson and the Chapel in Fall

2020-Aug-032020-Aug-01 adohertyhLeave a comment

Bob-Ross-ian “happy little trees” may look their best in autumn, but I’m not sure they’re at their happiest while heading into dormancy.

Benches of Prague

Cab drivers told me that November is about as empty as Prague ever gets. I can’t even imagine summer.

Big View of Herring Cole

2020-Jul-292020-Jul-27 adohertyhLeave a comment

A big view of a little building: St. Lawrence University’s Herring Cole Reading Room. Though it was once a library, it’s now the best study space on campus.

Dinner with Gulls

2020-Jul-272020-Jul-26 adohertyhLeave a comment

Every pale streak over the glassy long-exposure water is one of Prague’s gulls. Given the amount of dropped trdelník (with ice cream filling!) available on the ground, they’re enjoying tasty treats on par with the tourists.

Scales of Structure

2020-Jul-242020-Jul-23 adohertyhLeave a comment

Human structures—food trucks and skyscrapers—side by side on a Manhattan Sunday morning provide a striking statement on the possible scales of fabrication.

Early Fall Evening Reflections

2020-Jul-222020-Jul-21 adohertyhLeave a comment

A consistent theme in my posts over the past few weeks has been “reflection,” raising the question: Am I feeling particularly introspective, or have I just been finding great views with water ?

Reflecting on Vltava

2020-Jul-202020-Jul-19 adohertyhLeave a comment

The Vltava River turns every cityscape of Prague Castle into a dramatic set of reflections.

Vltava and Prague Castle

Looking onto the scene from the Charles Bridge, those reflections seem to be all around.

Mostly New Jersey

2020-Jul-172020-Jul-16 adohertyhLeave a comment

The dividing of the southern end of the Hudson River into New York and New Jersey is subject to a great deal of mythology, but whatever the truth is, the practical reality today makes the difference between the two feel pretty fuzzy.
