I love fall colors. Last month, I was on my way home from a photoshoot and saw this building covered in ivy. I couldn't just pass this by so I pulled over, got out of the car, and took a few shots.

When man-made structures and nature come together this seamlessly it is incredible. It was as if the building and the ivy were made for each other. I hope you enjoy this photo as much as I have.

Thanks!

Yes, there is a lens that I would buy if I had some extra money. It's the Canon 17-85mm IS USM. I've never used it but it gets good reviews.

Aw beautiful... look at each individual leaf, they're all so perfect. You're right, it does look like the building and the ivy were made for each other. Great marriage of colors, nature, and that which is man-made

*feels all cozy*

The leafes look so... unnatural!
It kind of gives me the creeps!
Perfect captured the atmosphere, another one that I might buy!

We should ask... then we could form an artists colony there and visit our friends in the sci-fi channel. (Okay... maybe I should get some sleep.)

PeteLatham [2005-12-08 15:49:25 +0000 UTC]

Great shot. I love the composition. There even seems to be symmetry in the ivy around the door!

If I had stopped to consider the shot (unlikely, believe me) I think I would have exposed slightly more to bring out the insides of the doorway a little. I probably wouldn't have stopped to think about this, though

Well done.

Pete
