arctangent's Photos : Popular Photos : I was on my way back to the car, nearly there, when I approached this foot bridge that spans the remnant canal at Providence Park. The high angle of the sun at approx. noon produced on the vertical posts these steeply pitched zebra-like shadows of the horizontal members of the railing. The interesting geometry of the railing itself, and its interaction with the light, and the harmony of the color of the rusted railing and the autumn foliage beyond, all made me pause in my purposeful walk, and try to capture the charm of the scene.

Recent temperature fluctuations had allowed snow on the roof to melt, run off, and drip onto the dome of this bird feeder, where it refroze into a "curtain" of icicles.

arctangent > My dear old friend had a dilemma. He hates to have his picture taken, but he also loves to smile. The result is the forbearing expression you see here.

arctangent > Huddled against the storm.

I revisited this tree when the weather was better and read its tag. Yes, it's a crab apple.
