Lights and Shadows on Flickr.
One of the darker areas in the Upper Antelope Canyon, Arizona. Upper Antelope is at about 4,000 feet elevation and the canyon walls rise 120 feet above the streamed, located within the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation.
The spring from the Hanging Lake on Flickr.
Shot while hiking to the Hanging Lake, near Glenwood Springs, in Colorado, USA. Just at the beginning of the trail, we stopped for a while to shoot a couple of shots of the stream. This stream will be our companion for the next couple of hours! Shot in RAW, and converted to B&W in Adobe Lightroom.
Face in a box? (In black and white)
The Crown Fountain at Millennium Park, Chicago. Void of colors, only in shades of grey. Reminds me of some old film (The Wizard of Oz, or was it the face of Marlon Brando in Superman?)
Crown Fountain is an interactive work of public art and video sculpture featured in Chicago’s Millennium Park, which is located in the Loop community area. Designed by Catalan artist Jaume Plensa, it opened in July 2004. The fountain is composed of a black granite reflecting pool placed between a pair of glass brick towers. The towers are 50 feet (15.2 m) tall, and they use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to display digital videos on their inward faces. Approximately 75 ethnic, social, and religious Chicago organizations were asked to provide candidates whose faces would be photographed for integration into the fountain. The subjects were chosen from local schools, churches and community groups, and filming began in 2001 at the downtown campus of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). To achieve the effect in which water appears to be flowing from subjects’ mouths, each video has a segment where the subject’s lips are puckered, which is then timed to correspond to the spouting water, reminiscent of gargoyle fountains.

Where does that lead to?
Reminds me of those endless corridors in a dream, where every turn and corner looks identical.
Playing the keyboard - manual focus, tripod and a remote trigger - was all that was needed!
