Black And White Alley

Photography, Structures July 15, 2019

Enjoy this high contrast black and white photography of an alley in a business district. This image reminds me of a scene from the 1971 movie, Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, staring Gene Wilder, when the character Charlie found the 5th and final “Golden Ticket” and was advised to return to his house immediately. His route home led through a dark alley, where he encountered the foreboding Mr. Slugworth. If you’re not familiar with that movie, never mind!

But, do visit my galleries at Redbubble and Pixels to find this photograph available on a variety of fine items. Thanks for stopping by!

Covered Sidewalk

Covered Sidewalk

Photography, Structures March 3, 2019

Visiting downtown Knoxville, Tennessee, I traversed this covered ‘skywalk’ en route to the Sunsphere, located next door to the Convention Center. I liked the brick wall, metal structure and linear perspective enough to take a photograph, now available in my gallery at Fine Art America. Stop by for a visit, sometime!

Evening Downtown

Evening Downtown

Abstract, Structures February 9, 2019

This textured abstract design depicts columns of city buildings with the fading light of dusk reflecting across many windows. I’ve added it to my galleries, here:

The idea for this design came about yesterday, when I thought I’d experiment with photographs of doors or windows in a layered collage. So, today I visited Pexels and discovered this free photograph (below) by Samuel Wölfl.

Rather than a collage, I instead used this single photograph with Adobe Photoshop to create the featured image, Evening Downtown.

Thanks for stopping by!

Exploring Knoxville

Photography, Structures December 24, 2018

Today, I drove to Sharp’s Ridge Memorial Park in north Knoxville, Tennessee, for a mountain top view of the city. Dedicated to the honor of the area’s war veterans, the park contains 111 acres along a 7-mile limestone ridge. The views were nice, except for the several large electrical lines – located directly in front of the observation deck. With ample space to clear another viewing area, I’d suggest that the park do so.

Sunsphere

From the top of the mountain, I could see the Sunsphere in the distance. So, I made a right turn to exit the park and, to my surprise, the road led directly to the structure.

Sunsphere

Built in 1982 for the World’s Fair, the structure stands 266 feet tall and weighs 600 tons. It’s interesting to note that the glass-panel windows are layered in 24-karat gold dust and cut to seven different shapes! It also has a viewing platform inside that can accommodate 86 visitors.

So as to have the sun at my back for better photographs, I drove around the building…

City Traffic

City Traffic

Sunken City

Sunken City

Much like the capsized ship in the movie Poseidon Adventure from 1972, this upside down city conveys a sense of sinking – hence, Sunken City. I’ve added this design to my galleries at Society 6, Redbubble and Pixels.

Remember to bring your snorkeling gear if you’d like a view from the top building!
