Smithsonian Castle Washington DC

Washington DC has a seemingly endless variety of interesting architecture. From modern to classic DC has it all. This is the original Smithsonian Museum and was the only building the Smithsonian Institution had until the 1960's. As I was looking at the old tree and the Castle I thought the two have existed together for a long time. By shooting black and white I was able to capture an image that concentrates on the rich tonality of the subject. Notice the leaves on the tree are white because of the fall color change.LynnFreeny.com

Steps and Shadows

Shadows have always intrigued me as far back as I can remember. They magically disappear and reappear as clouds travel across the sky. Shadows are distortions of solid objects. In this image the shadows take over as the main subject causing the steps to almost go unnoticed. The random patterns the leaves form at the bottom of the steps help finish the composition with something very different from the symmetrical shadows. LynnFreeny.com
