Photograph of the First Congregational Church of Kalamazoo, Michigan, taken at sunset. The tall, narrow steeple rises into a softly glowing sky streaked with blue, lavender, and orange clouds. The church’s Gothic-style architecture is visible in the pointed arch windows and steep slate roof, subtly illuminated by evening light. Silhouettes of nearby trees and a partial building appear along the edges, framing the warm gradient of the sky as day fades into twilight.

What are you talking about? Isn't holding power over other people, dividing them into "us" and "them," then using their money to show how much better "we" are than "they" are his work? Change my mind.

Infrared photograph of Henderson Castle in Kalamazoo, Michigan, showing the historic stone mansion with turrets and gables beneath a cloudy sky. The image is rendered in surreal false color: trees glow in vivid magenta and crimson, while the sloping vineyard in the foreground burns bright orange-gold. The castle sits mid-frame on a rise, partly framed by tall, radiant trees on both sides. The overcast sky contrasts with the dreamlike landscape, giving the scene an otherworldly, painterly quality.

Peppers - Husted's Farm Market
#peppers #photography #produce #kalamazoo

A close-up photo of dozens of ripe red jalapeño peppers piled together in shallow produce trays. The peppers vary from bright red to deep reddish-brown, with some showing light corking—thin tan lines along their glossy skin that indicate maturity. Their vivid green stems curve in different directions, creating a lively texture and contrast against the saturated red tones. The image captures the freshness and heat of the peppers in natural light, likely at a farm market display.

While my wife shopped for supper, I took a picture of each apple bin. Husted's has a dizzying variety of apples available; I had to edit the collection down to four for the post.
