Vitruvian Man

nobody@ipernity.com (HaarFager) — Sat, 06 Apr 2024 05:49:39 +0000

It looks like a mural painted on the side of this building, but I think it's really an advertisement for a local business. It's an interesting piece of art nonetheless.

It was, of course, inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci's "Vetruvian Man" sketch.

A mural painted on a building located in the downtown square of Benton, Illinois. Being a Beatles fan myself, of course it caught my attention right away.

There was a wedding reception held by the Benton Lake on Saturday, so even though I wasn't the official photographer, from my vantage point I got some shots of the bride.

Gone Fishin'

A long telephoto shot of a relaxed fisherman out on Benton Lake today, Saturday, April 13th, 2019. Benton Lake is located just a mile or so outside of Benton, Illinois, and my family used to hold their family reunions at the lake's side for many decades. It was held there back into the 1950s up until the 1980s, when they moved the reunions to different locations around Benton.
