simply stunning...

how unappealing this turned out to be, except for a slight handful.

c'est la vie. i really liked the way it turned out, especially with all the paths and patterns.

--------------------------

thanks for your comments!

ironically, this was shot at a museum, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which was recently recognized...

Originally posted by richmond times-dispatch:

as one of the 10 largest comprehensive art museums in the country, according to annual rankings compiled by the 193-member Association of Art Museum Directors.

With more than 540,000 square feet of space, the VMFA moves into the top 10 nationally. It's still a ways off from No. 1 -- New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, at 2.2 million square feet, is twice as large as any other museum on the list -- but it only trails the No. 9 Brooklyn Museum by about 35,000 square feet.

The new galleries will push it up to eighth in permanent exhibition space, and a sprawling sculpture garden, three times the old size, that wraps around and behind the museum will become the fourth-largest outdoor exhibition space in the country.

if you're interested, here's some more stuff i grabbed while visiting.

it really is a lovely place that i would highly recommend to anyone...who knows, it might even open up some eyes as to how to look at art...

'Tis the fate of abstract photography in a non abstract challenge. When I enter something of this nature, my success is measured in the comments and in appealing strongly to a narrow audience. I gave it an 8.

I thought it was fantastic. I gave it an 8. I wonder how much of the negativity stems from the fact that "art", in this case, is not a subject you photographed but, rather, a description of the result. I'm sure that didn't fly well. But a fine, fine image.

ETA:

Come to think of it, is that an Art Museum? LOL...
