Blue Santa Fe Window [110327 Elements of Design]
Uploaded: June 15, 2005 23:30:29
aperture f 5.6, shutter 1/125, lens 50mm, location - Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The elements of design is the simplicity of knowing what you're seeing without really getting the whole picture. Driving down the streets in old town Santa Fe this is the feel you get looking out of your car window. Stark shapes and bold bursts of color pop out at you for only a moment. You recognize what you see even though you wonder what is behind the wall.

Congrats on your finalist...love the pop of blue #1623234Gunther Allen July 22, 2005
Thank you Cathy. I love the stark contrast of color with the desert muted colors. There is a magic quality about it. The blues seem bluer and have more meaning. It is like seeing a rainbow for the first time. You gaze in amazement and then it fades away until you see it appear again when you least expect it! - :-) -G #1623853Marie Fields July 23, 2005
