Sunday for Two

This past Sunday Laura and I went to downtown St. Petersburg. I have been there many times but this was her first time getting a feel of the true St. Pete. Not the quick drive-thru tour, but the walk down the streets and brick road alleyways in-depth tour. I love it when people experience things for the first time. The sense of awe of your surrounding is still fresh and the excitement of seeing something different reveals itself in your childish enthusiasm for the slightest detail. We tend to lose these feelings when we become accustomed to being in the same environment time after time. You become neglectful of its beauty and its luster fades into the distance along with any memory of the new beginning.


This was not to be the case on Sunday. We roamed the streets with our cameras, ready to capture timeless images and document the detail in the old time architecture that will someday give way to modern condos of the future. We felt brave with our cameras ready to use it as an excuse for roaming into areas that could possibly be off-limits to passersby. We covered the inner downtown area of St. Pete, but I am pretty sure there are a lot more things that we missed. Thats why multiple trips are called for.
