The World In Black And White |
I'm on a mini-road trip this week, visiting family, and then spending a few days wandering about. This shot was taken in Shiloh National Military Park, in TN. Those funky sun beams are the result of lens flare. I deliberately included the sun in the frame to maximize flare, and then cropped the sun away. When I first saw the flare in the viewfinder, I thought "hmmm, this might be interesting". And I think it is.
"The Giant Bronze Head", by Igor Mitoraj, in St. Louis' City Garden. OK, that's probably not the real name of the sculpture, but at least I've gotten the artist's name right. City Garden, which opened in 2009, is a great little park, in the middle of downtown, that's full of interesting sculptures, fountains and a restaurant.
A train trestle located just south of the St. Louis Gateway Arch. This is an area I call The Wastelands, and it's not a place you'd want to be after dark. Heck, it's not a place you want to be in the daytime, either :-)
