The stained glass in the Chapel are gorgeous. In the large windows, top register depicts the Old Testament and then the bottom shows their fulfillment in the New Testament. The details are from smaller, eye-level windows. I will try and provide some additional commentary or identification at a later date. […]

A relatively sunny December afternoon and few visitors made for a bright and open chapel. You may use these images freely, but must attribute: ©Christian MM Brady, http://photoblog/targuman.org
I was on Tybee Island, GA this past weekend and captured a few sunrise photos. I did not have a tripod so this was all handheld, but the results are not bad.
When in Rome…we visited perhaps the most interesting monument to me, a scholar of ancient Judaism. The Arch of Titus was built in 82 CE by Domitian after the death of his older brother, Titus. It commemorates Titus’ victories, particularly the siege and conquest of Jerusalem in 70 CE, depicted […]
I have recently moved to the University of Kentucky. The entire region has been rubber banding back and forth between spring and snow. (As I write this in early April we are due for another 1-3″ of snow Friday night.) It is nothing on the scale of central PA, but […]
There are a wide variety of doors and doorhandles in Freiburg. Consider this the beginning of a series.
When we stay in Freiburg we walk into town at least once a day, just to stretch our legs and pick up some groceries. (These little fridges make US-size shopping impossible!) Today I took my D810 and 50mm 1.8.
Today, in an effort to escape the 100º heat in Freiburg we drove up to Schluchsee, a beautiful lake in the Schwarzwald. What I did not expect was the Pfarrkirche St. Nikolaus. From the outside it appears a fairly traditional looking church, with a large wooden structure. The first hint of […]
The Normandie Hotel was clearly a gorgeous hotel in its heyday. Built in 1945 it has been closed for years. The toothless-man working the parking lot told me that it was being renovated. A quick look on the internet told me that this has been the case since it closed. […]
Home of the Red Sox. We had the good fortune of a trip to Boston last week and a tour of the Park. Here are a few select shots.
We spent a lovely week in Vienna (Austria, not Virginia, although we left from Dulles). It is quite literally a monumental city. Statues and sculptures are everywhere. The weather was nice, but not great, often with solid, but bright, clouds. Great for portrait photography, not so great for landscape and […]
Our son Mack is buried in this beautiful and historic cemetery. Many of the graves go back to the 18th century and is concerned by many to be the birthplace of Memorial Day. (The picture of the “three widows” commemorates that original, impromptu Civil War remembrance.) We chose this cemetery because […]
