Alive
I am lucky: my job involves travel.
I like to travel. (You knew that already, didn’t you?)
Just the other day, I was in Portland, where I spotted this mural and the pair of parking meters. Both made me happy.

Fantastic capture. The parking meters look like spectators to the scene – which then becomes ‘alive’.

Thanks, Vera. The parking meters are my favorite part of the composition.

Extremely well framed with those little motion-like waves around the parking meters that make it hard to separate them from the mural.

Thanks, Ehpem – I am still working on all the microcomposition lessons from my class with Sam Abell! Like parking meters/mural swirls, and maintaining that gap between the meters and the tree.

Well, you did a terrific job on this one. The tree almost looks like part of the mural.

That’s one of the best murals I’ve seen in a long time and the parking meters look as if they belong within it. I particularly like that well executed version of one of Edgar Degas’s famous paintings.

That Degas-as-mural IS very nice, isn’t it? This mural is new: it doesn’t show up on Google’s street view from 2014.

Love it!! Old school parking meters are my favorite. These new ones with the cards are super convenient but not nearly as picturesque.

Thanks, Sabina. I sort of think that without the meters, I wouldn’t have even made the shot.
