a photograph. You caught a lot in that light.
I was in the Barnes Foundation Museum in Merion, PA some years ago. As a collector he positioned furniture and their fixtures in coordination with similar references in the artwork of impressionists.
You made a composition sharing nature with utility. Nicely done.

Many of the images I post here are snapshots, although I usually refer to them as 'photos'. The images above are photographs. As you've noted, they weren't made just anyhow. I'd taken snapshots of sunsets at Longwood before. Unlike the snapshots, these were taken with intention and attention.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply, cachukis.

New England. Avoid the city and go through Harrisburg. Caught the flow of the river.
Your pic made me want to stop and see the town from the north. Will plan to spend some time there next time.
Neato.
