Penning Photography Daily

First thing I did, getting out of my car this morning, was to put my camera of the day in my pocket. The mighty Panasonic LX3 was at the ready when I looked up and saw this.

The copper-colored windows of the office building, reflecting the sky, which is a brilliant blue topping in contrast. That’s what grabbed my eyes this morning and wouldn’t let go until I took this one frame.

I kept walking while pulling out the LX3, and popping off it’s lens cap, turning the camera on, and deleting the old photos off the memory card. All done while moving forward to get the best view, without the light poles which are close by but would mar the effect.

Camera up, frame and one shutter press and done.

I hardly broke stride.

The contrasting angles and color of the building against that beautiful sky with it’s carpet of blues and whites is stunning. At least it is to my eyes.

Beauty, always in the eye of the beholder, came and waved hello to me this morning. This time it was so obvious, I couldn’t ignore it. Many times, I have to slow down, and pay attention, in order to see the beauty set before me every moment of every day.

Count me as grateful for being able to see this today.
