Look Up - Look Down, Architectural Details & Shadows

As promised in a previous post, today I'm sharing more photos from my day with Ellyn at the Dallas Arboretum. There are numerous architectural elements throughout the arboretum and the sunshine we enjoyed that day created lots of interesting shadows.

These first two photos were inspired by Helena's Look Up Look Down photographic meme.
UP
 

DOWN



And here are my favorite architectural and shadow photos.






(Obviously Ellyn took this last photo!)

Our day was inspired by the free Finding Your Muse mini-class that I had recently re-visited and mentioned to Ellyn (who promptly checked it out!). I have a few ideas for using some of the inspiration in my photos and will be sharing that with you soon. Have you checked out this free class? (I believe I first heard about it from Rinda.)

  2. Great photos! I need to learn to be a little more adventurous and thoughtful with my picture taking. I really like this idea of look up, look down. Adds some variety! :)

  4. Now, our sunshine might not be the same, but intriguingly in our park we do have a building very like the one which has given you the checked shadows
