afternoon in Paris

The Irish Pub

You can find an Irish pub almost anywhere.  this one was in Taormina, Sicily.  A little too early in the morning for the usual crowd.

Custom House

Construction on the US Custom House in Charleston, SC, began in 1853 and was then halted in 1859 due mostly to the Civil War.  Construction resumed in 1870 and was completed in 1879.  It is still used today by several federal agencies.

The Root Cellar

This root cellar is from the 1870’s.  The only lighting for the photo was the two small upper windows on the right side of the room.  This fisheye view was a five shot blended HDR with the longest exposure being about 4 minutes.  Olympus OMD with 7.5mm lens.

Re-visiting Glade Creek Grist Mill

This old mill is located in Babcock State Park, West Virginia.  Taken in the afternoon with some diffusion and saturation added to give it a rich postcard effect.
