The Art of Photography
I do use a variety of both photographs and graphic designs in my posts. Most of them, (like the one) above are from the archives of a morgue file from a professional firm that specializes in photographs, graphic designs and illustrations. www.dreamstime.com
However I do sometimes take my own photographs and when I was a student at Penn State University it was a hobby, so I had a darkroom and the whole thing. Seriously into photography at that time. After that life intruded and I went in different directions with my art form.
But today I would like to share a few photos I took just a few months ago while visiting the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco! This is the type of architectural beauty that one can’t resist. So without further ado. A few of my favorite shots.
I was fascinated by the shadows with this one!

More shadows but I also really enjoyed the setting!
I really love the goddesses in this one, aren’t they noble looking?
And of course these incredible columns behind the Goddess, just amazing!
The entrance and my favorite!
Hope you enjoyed,
~ Penny

Great pix!
I especially love the 2nd one with the window opening.

Thanks RoSy! It’s one of my favorites too! I actually took just a ton of photos there that day. The weather was beautiful and obviously the scenery was too! 🙂 xx
Love the photos, Really there should be more quality crafts(wo/)manship like this these days. You have a good eye and what a perfect sky you had as well.
Totally agree! The day was a perfect day for this!
Awesome photos… I love sunshine and shadows too… it’s the contrast I particularly like 🙂
Thanks, me also! 🙂
really lovely
Thank you Padmini, greatly appreciate your compliment and you!

Penny you never cease to amaze me! I had no idea you were a photographer too! Fantastic shots… love the compositions and shadows. I’ve been to that museum before and had a ball! 😉
Thank you Roxi so much. Art is art, in whatever form it manifests itself, I believe! (I think you do too actually) It is a most amazing place isn’t it? 🙂
Beautiful photos Penny. The architecture is just stunning! 🙂
It is isn’t it. I was (quite frankly) overwhelmed to find these in USA, Not casting aspersions here, but just so different from our own modern architecture. 🙂
Absolutely! Looks like you had a good visit to SF.
It was fantastic, very hectic and busy a few weeks before Christmas, luckily one of the hotels that my son is associated with (his career) put me up and paved the way for a great time!
Wonderful 🙂
Beautiful pics Penny
Hi Gys, thank you so much, I hope you are doing well? with affection, Penny xx

J’espère que votre séjour était paisible et relaxant, mais amusante (et qu’il y avait beaucoup de soleil!), Penny 🙂
