Last weekend was another working weekend. During the afternoon, I took a break from work to visit Harlequin Plaza — about a five minute walk from the office. This is one of the sites for Museum of Outdoor Art exhibits in the area. There are several statues with a theatrical theme. These statues are distinctive because they are black in color and wear shiny golden colored masks. This one has a humongous nose.
I Like Your Nose
One of the statues is playing a horn, that is set against the blue sky.

Here is a shiny mask.

The sun was setting in the sky while the air became much colder. Heading back to the office, there is a ditch that drains water away from the laws and parking lot. The sun picked out the orange branches of the bushes.
Drainage Ditch At Sunset
At one spot, water had accumulated in a pool, where the leafless tree was reflected. All these images were made with a Lensbaby. This is a unique lens that has one sweet spot where the focus is sharp. The sharpness falls off rapidly into a blur from here to the edges. The position of the sweet spot can be adjusted within the image.
Reflection In The Ditch
Outside the office are planters that reflect the light of the setting sun.
Planter In The Setting Sun
Usually we are accustomed to experiencing the builder and the planters as being white in color. However, the camera captures the building in the setting light that is more yellow or orange.
