The first day of each month is a theme day for members of City Daily Photo. For November, that theme is Brown. You can see how others are interpreting this one right here.
I was passing alongside the National Arts Centre one evening in late April. The recessed lighting caught my eye, as did the exterior colour- appropriately brown.
Taken in July during a road trip into southern Ontario, this is a bas-relief, one of several in a subway station in downtown Toronto.
The rest of these were taken a few days ago in the same place, Major's Hill Park, while I was down here photographing fall colours. This sculpture is called Twist 1.5, dating to 1978. Alex Wyse and Ken Guild built this wooden spiral of British Columbia fir. I've shown it before, but decided it would be ideal to do so again, particularly with fall colours forming a backdrop. Buildings in the background of these shots include the Chateau Laurier, Parliament Hill, and the American embassy.
Chocolate brown is my favorite color … 😅
ReplyDeleteThe twist is very beautiful!
Oh, thank you, now I have "Let´s twist again" as earworm!
ReplyDeleteBut a very beautiful one it is, the artwork, I mean.
I remember seeing the spiral before. It works well as a subject for the theme.
ReplyDeleteI like that spiral, as if its brown or not, doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteGood job of sticking to the theme. You have been diligent about it. I forgot and Brown is one of my favorites!

Interesting photographs. Brown is all around us, but it isn't easy to find color and shape so happy together like they are in your photos.
