103/365 - Boiler Door

An old wooden door leaning against another door, in a brick building.

A doorway in the old Quincy #5 Boiler house -- a large brick ruin which once served up steam for the massive #2 Hoist, the world's largest steam hoist.

I swear, this spot was set up by the God of Photographers. The door leans against its companion in a perfect way, surrounded by wonderful abandoned textures and shapes. Every time I'm up at Quincy (which, as you may have guessed, is frequent), I feel compelled to try to capture this shot.

Red. Yes, I started halfway through the spectrum, and I have now wrapped all the way around! Look forward to some less-organized color photos later, though -- as I find them.

Purple flowers, reaching towards the sun. Also notice the less-than-stellar bokeh of my Nikon 18-200 at 200mm.

Blue, at one of the shafts of the old Indiana Mine. I followed the instructions.

Green. I'm not sure whether these are crocus or iris leaves popping up -- either way, I like them.

98/365 - Yellow

A bright yellow crosswalk sign, on a pole.

Yellow it is, with a tinge of green. (The weird color inconsistency is, I think, because of the reflective properties of the sign.) There are a lot of signs like this around the Michigan Tech campus -- having most of your housing on one side of a major highway, and all of the academic buildings on the other, tends to cause problems!

97/365 - Ribbons

Bright orange ribbons flickering in the wind.

Bright orange ribbons, fluttering in the wind -- they caught my eye as I drove past. Sadly, these beautiful ribbons mark out where the line forms at the local food bank.
