Mona Lisa? by pasadenarose

Mona Lisa?

I made a quick stop at City Hall to see if I could get her to smile for me. I think she kind of did. :-)
Oh yeah.

OK so I am looking for something that even remotely looks like a woman and find it nowhere. Worrying that you have finally cracked I start to drop down to make a polite comment .......and there it is!! You caught it . After being amazed by the creativity I notice all the angles and lines as well. Light and shadows too. Fabulous composition. enter the weekly theme!

Thank you all. It really is an extremely photogenic building.

@grammyn
Haha!! You do make me laugh. :-)
Glad you liked my shot of this lovely lady. I looked at the Theme and I don't think I qualify because of the date. :-(

@pasadenarose Man I didn't even notice the date. Too bad because this is a contender!

Time of day was just right to make the shadows and lines stand out - this is a wonderful shot!

I love this building and your perspective! Am I really supposed to see a lady or is this to make me crazy?Help me see this!!!

Wow, what a fabulous building and photo. I feel the same as the person above me, am I supposed to see a lady as I do not.

@okavangohippo Thank you. :-) I did get lucky with the lighting.

@kathyladley @darsphotos
Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to confuse you all. LOL

"She" is the building...City Hall.

Originally the reference to the 'smile' was just regarding the fact that she looked so lovely, with the light and shadows showing up so well...as though she smiled upon me and gave me a good shot.
It was a bit later that I noticed the ever-so-slight 'smile' of the upper roof line on the right, prompting the Mona Lisa comparison.

NO lady.
Only a gorgeous bit of architectural delight, providing me with a very nice photo for the day.

Again I apologize if my artistic license caused you to question your powers of observation. ;-)
Can't promise I won't do it again, though. LOL
