On Sunday I posted about the strange metal framework that had been installed around the old Park Central mall. I mentioned that I thought it was pretty useless. That is unless you happen to be a photographer looking for some interesting shots. I decided to see if I could use it to frame some photos.
Probably the most puzzling is this 'covered' walk leading in and out of the center. Shade is a very desirable element here in the desert. Since this center houses a variety of restaurants it would make sense to provide some shade so the people working in those buildings across the street could walk over for lunch out of the sun. As you can see from the top photo and this last one, this cover only provides shade in uneven stripes.
Well at least it is good for us photo bloggers!
ReplyDeleteNeat design, even if it lacks function.
ReplyDeleteI pick the third photo as my favourite. It's the framing that caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you figured out a way to use it creatively! And maybe THAT's what it's for? A "frame" for the surrounding city?
ReplyDeleteCreative photos indeed. I wonder if the idea is to grow climbers over the frame to provide shade?
ReplyDeleteSee, there was a function after all. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery odd anywhere but especially for the Valley of the (Hot) Sun!
ReplyDeleteTerrific shots!
ReplyDeleteAt least you found some good use for it, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Sharon. A great challenge and results. My favorite is the third photo too, I love your framing of the building.
ReplyDeleteSo it was just expensive decoration over walkways? I wonder if anyone, a developer, an accountant, objected.
ReplyDeleteWell, you've given it some purpose after all...
ReplyDeleteGreat compositions, Sharon !
ReplyDeleteYou managed to take some good photos. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! So artistic - nicely done! You have a great eye!
