First of all, as a “relative” newcomer to Wichita, I can affirm that a photo walk is a GREAT way to explore an adopted city, especially if you take one early on a glorious summer morning. This morning was not to hot, not too cold, sunny, in short wonderful for photographing areas of interest. I do not profess to be the best photographer in the world, but I like to take pictures. I’ve taken a lot of art classes, so I tend to see things in angles and texture. I don’t always get what I see the first time, hence a few repeat photos. My favorites are the brock building reflected in the pond and the clock. Let me know which version you like best. Clearly all three ask the question “Does anybody really know what time it is?” but I’m undecided which does it most successfully. I also like the photo of the cupola upward, and those through the disintegrating awning, and finally the tree grate and the overpass. No idea of their real names. That’s my next task. Enjoy and let me know what you think. Thanks to @WichitaCindy for info about the walk on twitter and facebook. It was an excellent adventure.
