I took advantage of a warmish sunny day and had a little field trip downtown. I love exploring Portland....this time I was looking for light and shadows and abstract angles as part of an exercise for the Conscious Creativity class. The best thing about taking a class like this is that it gets me out my head and normal routine and takes me to places and spaces I don't often make time for. And that's a good thing.
I was quite take with fence shadows.
I was also looking for opposites....and I thought these two images couldn't have been more opposite. Similar colors....but one was ordered and soft...and the other was chaotic and hard.
This abstract angle shot works on a couple levels. The mural is a literal abstract art piece of angles...and another angle is created where the buildings meet.
And a bonus I didn't notice until I uploaded the photo is that fabulous reflection of the tree in the window.
Exploring places and spaces is a good thing.
I thoroughly embrace(s) the places and spaces of this post, MaryAnn! THANK YOU for vicariously/virtually getting ME out my head and normal routine and taking me to places and spaces I don't often make time for. Much needed and welcomed with arms opened wide. Light and shadows: can't beat 'em. And I love the idea of being on the alert for opposites.
ReplyDeleteThanks for embracing this looking outing Dotty! This kind of creative excursion is so good for me....and I'm so happy to be reminded of that.
