Radiance of Nature Exhibit at the Maynard Public Library

My “Radiance of Nature” Exhibit is now on display in the Roosevelt Room in the Maynard Public Library.  It will be there through early January 2009 (and perhaps a bit longer).

A reception and slideshow of other photographs in the series will be held on Saturday, December 13, 2008 from 2pm-4pm at the Library.  All are welcome.

The Maynard Public Library is located on 77 Nason Street, just north of downtown (by the Fine Arts Theatre).  There is plenty of free parking.   Visit the Maynard Public Library web site for hours and other information.

A little publicity for our town

I’m happy to note that two of my photographs are representing our little town of Maynard.

The color photograph was selected for the Massachusetts Muncipal Association 2009 calendar (it’ll be the photograph for March 2009), and a print of the sepia-toned one is hanging in the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds in Cambridge (part of a series of photographs showing historical features of cities and town in South Middlesex County).

Both are photos the Town Clock, which is the signature image for the town (it appears on our Town Seal, etc.)  It was erected in 1892 in memory of Amory Maynard, for whom the town is named, by his son Lorenzo.  The clockworks are reportedly the last hand-wound town clock mechanism in the United States.

Indianpolis, Indiana

We had an abbreviated third day in Indiana, so I elected to stay in Indianapolis instead of driving 2 hours to someplace a bit more my style only to have to leave an hour or so later.  It was a quiet Sunday morning (the Pacers had beaten the Celtics the night before and the New England Patriots were in town for a Colts game — within a few hours it seemed like everyone was wearing a Colts jersey).  I wandered around the center of Indianapolis and looked for some interesting architecture shots.  The light was pretty unspecial, so perhaps I shouldn’t bother with these – but I rather liked some of the monuments and classic buildings they had scattered in the center of downtown.

The reason we were in town was Betsy was attending the Girl Scout National Convention.  Walking around the area, there was little doubt something was going on.

A large monument, erected in 1889, dedicated to fallen soldiers and sailors is the focal point of Indiana’s capital city.  It’s quite a sight at night.

Back when entrances said something…

And, perhaps, one of the more ornately carved buildings I’ve seen…
