Fall Semester classes begin today at Fort Hays State University. I shot this GigaPan of Picken Hall last spring just days before graduation. Where has the summer gone?

St. Joseph Church (Oblique View)

Shot at the end of last winter, this is the view of St. Joseph Catholic Church from the southeast. How many pigeons can you spot on the roof and steeple?

Martin Allen Hall, Fort Hays State University

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Martin Allen Hall is located between Picken and Rarick Halls on the campus of Fort Hays State University. According to the FHSU website:

Martin Allen Hall is named after Martin Allen who settled in Hays City in 1873 and attempted to make improvements to the city by planting and cultivating in the surrounding areas. Allen was the man most responsible for Old Fort Hays becoming a College. Martin Allen Hall is the home of the Psychology Department.

This image was shot in mid-July 2008. If you look closely you can see evidence of some of the construction that was just getting going on campus at that time. You might also spot my GigaPanning assistants Edi and Berti if you look closely.

1401 Ash Street, from St. Joseph’s

Monday, July 28th, 2008

1401 Ash Street is a house I’ve always admired. I’m not sure exactly why – maybe it’s the turret room. In any case it looked lovely this past spring when the trees were in full blossom. Does anyone know the proper name for these pink-blossoming trees?

Tea Rose Inn Bed & Breakfast

Monday, July 21st, 2008

I’ve neglected this blog for far too long. To make up for it, I’m going to begin a series of regular, weekly postings in order to spur my writing. I’ll begin this with a series that I’m going to refer to as “GigaPan Mondays”. Each Monday I’ll post a GigaPan image from around Hays, Kansas for your viewing pleasure. Some will have stories, others will stand on their own. You’re encouraged to visit the GigaPan.org website where you can log in and create shapshots of details of these images and make comments on them.

To begin the series I’ve selected a GigaPan I shot this past spring of the Tea Rose Inn Bed & Breakfast at the corner of Fort and Thirteenth Streets. I haven’t stayed there myself, but perhaps someone who has can comment on what the experience was like.
