Harmony

This is the last of Susie's photographs for this week.  I need to get back on tomorrow before the blog's management kicks me off.

Harmony is the name of a metal sculpture that sits in a small pond in Hartford's Bushnell Park.  In the summer two near-by fountains spray water high, and an antique carrousel pumps out its melodies.  In the winter, Harmony sits quietly, while it rests up and contemplates.

    I really like this sculpture. And the snow definitely adds something to the scene. Great shot!

    You will have to give us a summer time view when that season once again returns.

    Susie is superb! Another wonderful photo. I like the sculpture a lot and she's created a wonderful composition with that fresh field of snow!

    She must have had a good teacher of photography! :-)

    And allows us to stare in awe at its shadow. Beautiful!

    I had to laugh at your comment today. If only you knew how uncomfortable my Mum gets when she sees the camera in my hand when we are at a restaurant... I don't think she will ever get used to it.

    I like it. A lot. The sculpture is beautiful, but the photograph is very well done. I like the shadows. A lot of times they can ruin a photo, but not here.

    The lines and curve of the sculpture are visual treats; also enjoy the shadow on the snow.
