no flowers today, take a look at these instead

[pjflan7]

I have posted alot of pictures of flowers in recent days and figured it was time to break the mold a little. The first two shots were taken down by a reservoir near the town where I work. It is simply a concrete ramp leading natural stream water into a pond using these blocks to break up the water flow to prevent disturbance and erosion below






This is a silhouette shot of a swan fountain in a nearby neighborhood


This was taken inside of a barn that I sort of snuck into to see what was inside. I shot this strictly as an exercise in composition, lines and texture

The freeze frames of the water are amazing Patrick. the silhouette too, very crisp and clear and the sky colour is still intact. The last one has got exactly what you wanted with the textures and curved lines. You think with the mind of a photographer Patrick. Excellent work.

They are all great pics. I just wish mine would turn out so good. Keep up the good work.

Very cool Patrick. I like the silhouette of the fountain and that last one is really good. The lines and wood textures... Great work!
