this is beautiful! I have my first MM post too.
I didn't realize what it was at first. The mono effect makes it look like part of an old statue.
I'm with Dianne, I wasn't at all sure what it was at first and thought that maybe it was part of a monument in a cemetery!
I like the way you angled that. Very nice mono shot.
hi mary!
just want to say it's only now that i learned you are in NY...are you in Queens? i used to live there until we moved less than a year ago:(miss it though we went on a road trip just last weekend:)
looks beautiful
Dear Teach Mary T
I have always loved black and white pictures.
Mom and Dad Golden's browny camera, I think that was all I took!
The colour ones from back then used to fade.
I agree with Carver. I really like the angle of this!.
Those trees with the fancy delicate leaves are nice too!
Love Terry
Mary T, is that graffiti on the nice old fire box? Too bad someone wouldn't clean it off!
I mean that box has a lot of history and character behind it.
It deserves respect!
Could be an OddShot also in mono... it's a tilted world. Everything tilted here this morning. I find the Linkys have all gone so I am somewhat at a loss. Have to think about this.
That is such an ornate fire alarm box. I never would have known what it was.
Interesting shot.
Yes guys, we have a lot of fireboxes like this in Queens, NY. Yes it is a shame this kind of graffiti is all over it. I'm generally in favor of good, artistic graffiti! Thanks one and all for commenting!
Cool shot I love angle
I love it! I like the composition of the whole thing.
Love those old boxes...so classic
Very creative presentation, Mary. I like it.
Great photo. You made the mundane appear mysterious. I had no idea what it was.
