“Empty Chairs at Empty Tables”

I didn’t like much I took today, but I did like the alternating bright- and dark-gray panels of these umbrellas outside Morris Library. Bare trees + gray sky + hats & winter coats = empty chairs @ empty tables.
[Gah! I missed the song reference yesterday, now corrected!]

I like the depth of this shot and the way you lined it up with all of the umbrellas curving around!

@oneinodd Thanks, Lisa! I found this perspective only by walking up-down-and-around the few small steps at this end of the raised patio so that we see the table tops “edge on”, too!

The alternating light and shadows on the umbrellas is quite a nice effect.

@abbeeocomcast Ultimately that was the deciding factor, although I do like the stubborn little piles of snow that refuse to melt!

Love the umbrella's!

@hey_danes Thanks, Dana! When the weather gets nice I should go back to this spot and take this one again. [Trying to pick today's & I'm not well pleased with anything. :-\ ]
