While hanging out in Baldwin City, Kansas for a day in early August, I had a chance to meander through the campus of Baker University. On my little photo tour, I learned that the university was founded in 1858 by Osmon Cleander Baker, a distinguished scholar and bishop of what is now the United Methodist Church. It was also the first university in the state, according to the school’s website.

The Clarice L. Osborne Memorial Chapel was moved stone by stone from the village of Sproxton, England. It serves as the spiritual center of the university. Lady Margaret Thatcher, former British Prime Minister, dedicated the chapel at Baker in 1996, according to the university. Her father had preached in the building.

While in Kansas, I visited the Louisburg Cider Mill. There, they bottle exquisitely fresh apple cider and a variety of root beer and cream sodas. They even make cider-flavored cake donuts.

Here are a few initial shots from Ottawa, Kansas and the surrounding area. Much more to come, including Baldwin City, Baker University, the first four-year university in Kansas and “small-town” feel at sunset.

NEW Aug. 1

Bernhard Langer wins the 2010 U.S. Senior Open golf championship at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish. I got to cover the event from numerous angles. Quite fun to shoot and report on the players and the massive volunteer efforts.
