From ATPM Readers

This month’s desktop pictures were contributed by a variety of ATPM readers.

Torben Buchardt contributed photos of Mt. Baker and of some flowers.

Bill Chenault contributed photos from St. Louis. The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis was built after the turn of the 20th century. It combines a Romanesque exterior with a brilliant Byzantine interior and boasts the largest collection of mosaics in the world—four million pieces of glass used in 83,000 square feet of mosaic art, created by 20 artists over a span of 75 years. The glass tiles in the mosaics are about the size of finger nails.

Forest Park 1 shows the World’s Fair Pavilion, built in 1909 with proceeds from the 1904 World’s Fair. It can seat approximately 500 people.

Forest Park 2 shows the St. Louis Art Museum. The museum’s Richardson Memorial Library is the largest public center for the history and documentation of art in the central Midwest. Its research collections include 71,000 volumes, 425 periodical titles, rare documents, auction catalogues since 1825, and the Museum Archives.

All of the photos were taken using a Canon S50 in Auto mode. Alterations were made with Photoshop CS. None of the pictures are copyrighted.

Jerry Foster contributed photos from a recent snowy sunrise. They were taken in rural New Hampshire with a Canon Rebel DSLR.

Steven Romero contributed photos from the Dominican Republic.

Grover Watson contributed photos from his 2003 trip to Pattaya, Thailand.
