Impressions, Memories of a Bloomington Winterscape

People walk, going along their business as usual despite the snow, through Dunn Meadow between Jordan River and East 7th Street. | Photo by Ann Georgescu
The sidewalk on East 7th Street along Dunn Meadow looked longer and narrower than usual, and there was a picturesque balance of trees and light posts. | Photo by Ann Georgescu
The bridge over Jordan River looked magical in the snow. | Photo by Ann Georgescu
The steps leading to the Indiana Memorial Union are one of my favorite spots on campus (a hangout during my J-school days). | Photo by Ann Georgescu
I’ve always loved the relief above the door at the former Indiana University School of Medicine building (now Myers Hall), and it looked so elegant framed in snow and with the warm light inside. | Photo by Ann Georgescu
This one outside the former Indiana University School of Medicine building (now Myers Hall) might not be so popular, especially with the class of 1940 … but I wondered who had had a bad day? It stood out with the snow and the dark, heavy morning. | Photo by Ann Georgescu
I get around Bloomington on bikes when it isn’t snowing, so I was drawn to the snow-capped bikes at the apartments on East Atwater and South Woodlawn avenues. These are a bit more protected than others bikes I saw that day. | Photo by Ann Georgescu
I had the sense that I was invisible and alone at the Winter Farmers’ Market at Harmony School. The woman leaving the market didn’t notice me. It is sort of a grim scene but, I like the angles and colors. | Photo by Ann Georgescu
There were no footprints in all of the great snow that covered the Harmony schoolyard and rhino sculpture by local artist C.R. Schiefer. | Photo by Ann Georgescu
This photo is my favorite of the day. I love the bikes plowed over in snow along Indiana and East Kirkwood avenues and the snow falling while everyday life (deliveries, footprints) continues. | Photo by Ann Georgescu

It was a Saturday this past February, and I was up early for work … only to find we had a snow day. I decided to walk to the Winter Farmers’ Market at Harmony School and do a some street photography along the way. I was looking for images that left an impression on me, and found some memories I wanted to keep.

I headed down East 7th Street and through the Indiana University campus, then cut over to East 3rd Street and down South Woodlawn Avenue, and then over to East 2nd Street. On the way back, I took Indiana Avenue.
