Short Street

Finally, a night without snow, or ice, or even a freeze.  The paving bricks on Short Street, freed from weeks of ice and snow, glistened with a dewy warmth.  This could be Columbia's shortest street, coming in at one block in length.  I've always been fascinated with the pavers on Short Street, as well as those on Waugh and on Cherry Street.  Columbia's paved streets are a difficult subject to photographically capture, but when the atmosphere is right, they seem to glow, exuding the kind of mystique and charm that only a street composed of 100 year old paving bricks can exude.
