Keys To The City

I was in Columbia, Missouri quite often over the summer to watch the grandsons place baseball. After many tries I finally got a photo of this building without cars and people. This is City Hall and the sculpture was created by Howard Meehan. You can read more about it here.

The frame template is from the September 2012 issue of Digital Photo.

A good place to unlock the entrance if you have the key to the city. You will have it one day Tick. And, you are big enough to be the one to use it in this key lock.

I like the tri-part presentation and wonder how you did it. This would make a wonderful wall mural.

I like the building image fine, Ron. Can't seem to come to terms with the frame. It's too dominant for me.... can't decide whether it's the white, the bars or the irregularity of the frame. A basic thinner frame might make it look like a triple paned window facing the intersection and adding depth.

Excellent take on this fine building Tick. The clarity and colour are splendid, and it has good perspective.

I can't quite come to like the divided view - the gaps are a little wide and for me are to much of a reminder of broken buildings due to recent events here. I would prefer a whole building but thats just me and I do like the framing effect round the edges.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Fine work here Tick. This should be on the cover of a booklet about the City that they hand out to folks. Awesome work!!

Tick, You've created a city hall that is certainly unique. Have the citizens of Columbia had a chance to view this?
