St. Louis Visits South Carolina

The shadowing in this still life is strongly evocative of St. Louis, Missouri’s Gateway Arch, the largest man-made arch in the United States.
I am finding myself increasingly more delighted when I find fun shadows in still lifes.

Conglomerate

There are all kinds of things going on here . . . Bits of shells, pebble, evidence of ocean parasite activity, and an item that I could not identify.
It is a fitting photo to start my Saturday morning because there are all kinds of things going on at home this weekend. I hope they all come together as well as this still life.
