Another "mix" of old and new artwork. The painting on the facade is modern, but the cherubs and saint are older.

The colors and figures on the ceiling painting of the library are amazing.

Looking down. Had to perch the camera on the railing for a longer exposure. You can see the blur from other visitors taking the stair.

Yes, there is a mirror at the bottom, and my camera can be seen reflected.

Taken during our boating trip on the Canal Du Midi. The excursion terminated in this city. The Canal joins up with the river that runs through Beziers, hence the railroad bridge.

Fall -- Arc -- Wall (HWW)

Taken during a fall walk a couple of years ago. "The Arc" is a piece of public art (an arch that doesn't quite meet at the top).

The Big Sioux River is in the background; we're just above the falls (see PiP), in downtown Sioux Falls. The trees were turning some very nice colors.

Taken in 1993 during our boating trip on the Thames.

This scene was so inviting that I thought of the "Wind in the Willows" at the time.

Sunday challenge for "literary" reference.

Take a look at this photo on a black background.

Park Fountains (HFF, H.A.N.W.E.)

Taken in a lovely park along the MIssissippi River, in Muscatine, Iowa.

This town is overshadowed by the "Quad Cities" nearby, but is worth a stop for itself. This park looks like a nice stop on a hot summer day. (The PiP shows more of the river front).

Did you know that this was a major pearl button manufacturing town in the late 19th century? There is a statue in this park to the mussel fisherman of that time.

Image taken with phone and processed into square format with GIMP.

Using the square format allowed me to crop until there is some Rule of Thirds behavior present.
