I’ll have a ton of photos to share with you folks once I get through this run of shoots. But for now here are some photos of the Praire School Purcell-Cutts House from a number of years ago. A Minneapolis architectural gem.

That kummelweck roll really sets it apart. Kind of a Kaiser roll/pretzel mash up. Otherwise very similar to a Baltimore Pit Beef.

They should just make all the locations Pizza Hut Classics. The one we went to last December even had a salad bar!

Quietly one of the best blocks to get something incredible to eat between the Twin Cities and Green Bay. Wausau’s Hmong Eggroll and Taqueria El Zabas rule.
Google Map of a Wausau, Wisconsin neighborhood with two incredible restaurants.

This is becoming uncanny. I have something like a 70% chance of no middle seat mate across way too many flights.

As these things go, it was way better in the original format where it was part of the baseball.

Four more from OTR.
A man walks by a facade with a fire escape painted beige to match the bay windows it ascends. Lush window boxes overflow with greenery and flowers on a small brick home with teal painted brick and a red door. A dilapidated block in Northern Liberties with a painted sign from a defunct business in the foreground. A typical OTR block.

Made it back to Cincinnati last month. Another Over the Rhine meander was a must.

Findlay Market on a busy Saturday morning in the heart of Over the Rhine. A warehouse with a church like form. Bay windows with ornate, decorative partings reach up a red brick facade. A woman walks by a church in the Northern Liberties section of OTR.

I’ve been on way too many flights this year. I’ve somehow been in empty or partially empty rows about half my flights. Delta recently upgraded my status and the streak continues for two more flights.
Upgraded to an empty row of Comfort seats on a Delta flight.

The Brewers were previously the short-lived Seattle Pilots, which lead directly to the Mariners expansion team.
On April 1, 1970, the franchise moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and became the Milwaukee Brewers. After the move, Seattle and King County sued the American League, which consequently granted the city a new expansion franchise, the Seattle Mariners.

You didn’t know you needed to make a stop in Covington, but trust me, it’s worth it.

Four from Mainstrasse in Covington, Kentucky across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. Both sides of the Ohio have some epic old school architecture.

Redwoods reach for the sky along a steep ravine at Muir Woods. Light filters through the tree tops.

These peripheral San Francisco neighborhoods are kind of rad.
A modernist Catholic Church. Beige on a overcast day. Another beige church, but from a century or more ago.

Power lines overhang a steep road at the top of Viz Valley. Houses butt up against one another and cars are parked randomly along the street. A woman walks a dog in front of a bright yellow and white modernist house with a first floor double wide garage. A couple waits on a corner in Viz Valley. Houses are painted in bright, yet somehow muted colors. An intersection is dominated by overhead powerlines along commercial corridor in Visitacion Valley. The neigbhorhood's name is seen on a mural center of frame.

The two sides of Houda Point Beach up in Trinidad, California. Humboldt County has some rad beaches.

#tidesouttuesday #photographersofbluesky #nature #scape
A man heads down to the northern half of Houda Beach, surfboard in tow, with Camel Rock in the not too far distance. Rocky outcroppings line the path to the beach. The southern side of Houda Beach sits below a bluff dappled with evergreens. A bit of fog lingers in the distance.

Redwoods need added context. Their enormous scale is so otherworldly that it feels like you need to see that SUV looking like a toy.

A giant hollowed out Redwood on the ground with a hole big enough for a child to walk through. Burls at the base of giant Coastal Redwood. My rental car looking like a toy beneath Rockefeller Grove in Humboldt Redwoods State Park An endless redwoods canopy reaches up into the heavens.
