Morning Look Through Upham Arch

Larger view available. We visited Miami University, my alma mater,

during our Thanksgiving visit with our kids and grandson. I recall my

final exam in advanced composition from Upham Hall, "Look out the

window and tell me what you see." Look out of the arch with me and

tell me what and how you see. Thanks. Larry

This is excellent. I like that the inner walls are dark but not so dark that details would be absent. The view which has depth and beauty is promising,  positive and particularly soothing in world that seems to be in tumultuous turmoil.   All the best,

It is sometimes very difficult to balance exposure from within a structure to that outside of it, but you have achieved it here with great detail and natural looking colours.  I would imagine that it  was quite a challenge shooting into the sun.  I  love scenes of empty places that are usually packed with people and I have a feeling this may be one of those places.

Nice work Larry!

Morning solitude and a peaceful mood is what this pov brings me Larry. The large view reveals nice textures of stone and slate in what looks like a very welcoming environment even without leaves on the trees'. I can imagine how nice it would be in spring or the fall. I wish you and your family Happy Holidays.

Best Always, Holger

Hi Larry,

  Beautiful scene with wonderful composition, textures & colors.  Take care, Patsy

Larry, there is not much I can add to what has already been said. Excellent image in every way. All the best to you and yours in this holiday season.

Tony,  My daughter, son-in-law and grandson here in Oxford, Ohio.  They (sans the grandson) work at Miami University, my alma mater of 1965.  I appreciate your helpful comment.  Larry

Alf,   A comment from you is always a treat and a learning experience.  I am pleased with how this turned out.  Best to you for the holidays and New Year.  Larry

Holger,  Many thanks for your visit and comment.  It is helpful to know that what to me seems plain and common is appealing and successful.  I did my undergraduate study here at Miami U.   Best to you for the holidays and New Year as well.  Larry

Patsy,  thanks for your visit and nice comment.  You have had some terrific  abstract images lately.  Best to you for the holidays and New Year.  Larry

Nicely framed vision!
