After a Harsh Winters Week...




After the week that took place as it was probably one of the coldest and as well one which there was more snow here than I have ever found. I decided to go back to areas around the University Campus, as well then over to the Mendal Art Gallery.

So after breakfast, I went out to see what there could be done here in the morning. It's nice outside and hopefully it shall stay that way from now and for a while.

    For now Mimi, we walk in the deep snow to find those particular pictures we wish to get - it's good exercise as well is an expression. Obtaining that angle and the vantage is something that is a technique...

    The angle on this one was not taken by myself. It was taken by a friend that was going for a run this morning downtown near the river. It's much warmer now than the last week, and I do have my own way. So it really is mild here probably a temperature that is about 35 F degrees.

    It was not that cold usually I have a cap or hat on during the colder days but it was a contrast and I never bothered with it.

    I would have spent hours taking pictures of this pieces, and its alluring shadow .....if pictures are allowed of course..... pfffftttt @ art galleries that don't allow pictures/art ! An Oxymoron. I love that the word Oxymoron contains the word moron.

    Smiling here as I would have taken many pictures of this I thought it was so conceptual but in most art galleries now you can not take any pictures without allowance. And sometimes that is due to the artist and his or her copyrights.
    But if I could I would have taken my time with this one Mimi....shhhh - she had no tattoos! :)
