I took a walk this afternoon around the neighborhood near my hotel in Rockville, New York. Sometimes I just need to get out and see the world I’m in. A few blocks into my walk I came across this empty baseball complex. I haven’t been on a diamond for many years so it felt kinda cool to step out there. I remember the days when I played the sport and enjoyed it. I was not the best but that did not matter, I went out there and tried. Anyway I found a few other interesting subjects in my viewfinder.
I found fire hydrants everywhere, blue ones with white tops. They were eye-catching to me. I wonder what people thought as I circled a couple of them, squatted down for a low angle but I swear I never lifted my leg. 🙂
I thought this was interesting. See them a lot and especially the farther east I go. Every culture has their statues symbolizing their faith or a hero or a memory.

Monte, there is a strange and lovely synchronicity between your image of the fire hydrant and the statue of Mary. Did you intend to put these together?
Monte Stevens
Wow, Sabrina, I never saw that until you mentioned it. You are very observant.

You have reminded us again that making good pictures is not hard if we take time to look around and “see” the world around us.
Monte Stevens
Your are so right, Don. What will we see in our view finder?

Monte, fine examples of actually seeing what you see and with photos letting others see it as well.
Now that is very interesting about the fire hydrant and statue of Mary.

Thanks, Earl. I never saw the correlation between them. Could be the colors or composition or both. I’m glad Sabrina saw that.
