Architecture, Staircases

From Our Cotswold Walk

Yep, another “not-flora” photo. Because.

Well, the “because” is actually because I’m so doggone frustrated with Lightroom so I’m trying to distract myself with posting this. (As if that will work!)

Problem: I can’t print things properly as it takes a ton of time to get an image to print and then the colors are all off, despite using the proper color profiles. If any readers use Lightroom Classic and are having a similar problem I’d love to know about it — especially if anyone has actually resolved the issue. I suspect it’s due to the new version of LR Classic. (I hate when they do that and then things fail!)

Anyway, enough of my whining. Have a photo instead —

Something a bit different …

I’ve been going through photos I’ve taken this year — the ones from trips get rather ignored after we get home (I do post many of the iPhone photos over at my travel site while we are on the trip, so then they get neglected.). With retirement, though, I am finding I have the time, and sometimes the energy, to sort through things. Sooooo …

I am going to try to post things other than flowers here, and perhaps even give a bit of background or story to the photo if I find the time. Not daily, mind you — that’s only for flora!

This one here is from a trip in February of this year, when we were in New York for a short trip. We had visited the cathedral of St. John the Divine many years ago, but we only had time to pop in and glance around, and a service was, if I recall correctly, just ending. The organist was playing some wonderful music (perhaps Messiaen Dan thought?) and I remember Dan marveling at the glorious sound.

On this most recent visit we had plenty of time to walk around, and as we did so a group I love, The Gesualdo Six, were rehearsing for their concert that night. (They were sold out, but we at least got to enjoy the rehearsal for a bit.)

This staircase caught my eye. I’m sure it’s been photographed to the max, but that doesn’t mean I can’t take a photo as well … right?
