After a weekend of work around the house, it was time for a welcome break. A cold front had arrived over the weekend, bringing very strong winds, with many autumn leaves blowing off the trees. Despite this, I headed downtown to the Convention Center. A short walk took me to the Theater District, where I found this sculpture. Looking out from the inside made for an interesting image with blue and white.
Passing by some windows to the center of the building, I was intrigued by the reflections of the two sculptures
Continuing down 14th Street, I found some pictures painted on the sidewalk. I am not sure of the significance of the pictures — probably the remains of an event days earlier. After making some images, this young lady stopped to wait for passing traffic at the intersection, so I made a composition that included her and the pictures on the sidewalk.
Further down the street, I found some “pipes”.
At this point, I was close to the Tattered Cover bookstore. It had been a while since visiting this store, so I spent a half hour browsing. Heading out, the sun had dropped below the layer of clouds that had been covering the city for most of the day. This low sunlight just created some amazing light for the remainder of the day.
From here, it was a short walk to Commons Park. Climbing to the top of the mound, I could get a clear view of some of the clouds lit by the setting sun
Heading back to the light rail station, one has to cross the Millennium Bridge, that was having some maintenance work done. While waiting for the elevator, I made this image of room full of exercise bikes in the Da Vita building.
Looking up, the sunset sky and clouds were reflected in another Da Vita building…
