Hogwarts after dark :)

The Law Quad on UofM Campus......or Hogwart's :)

Tonight's photo is of the very Hogwartesque Law Quad on the UofM Campus.  The funny story behind this shot, is that although beautiful, the very intricate brickwork was incredibly slippery after the rain had stopped, and had a few minutes to ice over!  Just as I set up my tripod, and was preparing to click the shutter, I lost balance and fell hard, straight to the ground!

Can you imagine.....a slip and fall in the Law Quad??  Where's a lawyer when you need one?

Blogging is a lot of fun, but sometimes it is a huge challenge going out and getting worthy content to present to your readers/viewers.  Last night was no exception....as I pulled in to the parking structure in Downtown Ann Arbor, I knew the weather would be cold and windy.  A thick fog covered the area, rendering some of the buildings I had photographed just a few weeks earlier with complete clarity, unrecognizable through the thick haze.

From the sky, a thin cool mist was falling, which would soon turn into a light rain, before the air turned even colder, freezing the mist to the ground as thin, invisible sheets of ice. 

Midnight in Gotham City

State Theater, Ann Arbor, MI

Last Night I decided to venture out into Downtown Ann Arbor, to see if there was anything interesting to see.  The night was a bit chilly, but not too unbearable, and although the streets below were still pretty busy.....from the top of an eight story building everything was quiet.  The sky was a sort of reddish color that had quite a dramatic effect, like something you might see in one of the many comic book inspired movies that have hit theaters of late.

Above, the moon was very bright, and was casting a halo effect on the low hanging clouds that looked like some kind of cosmic worm hole that was slowly pulling the earth into certain doom!!
