Fall Outside The Observatory Window by alophoto

Fall Outside The Observatory Window

Another Rear Window shot. Hope did one today, too @madhatters

I've had a very selfie heavy week and sometimes I get sick of seeing myself and perhaps you do, too. I apologize, if this is the case. Back to prettier things...my lovely fall scenery.

This was taken inside the Cincinnati Observatory, an old building from 1873 that the security guard let us into when he caught us casing the joint and peeking in the windows. We were in the place alone with him and I couldn't help but wonder if he was a serial killer (it's Hitchcock week, it's where my mind goes). And I was trying to figure out how to use my camera as a weapon to defend myself. When not planning my escape, I snapped a few photos, this being one of them. Loved the look of fall outside the old glass window.

I ended up filling in for Jeff at Mad Hatters this week for a shot I had used in my extra album earlier in the week. In case you missed it, it's here: http://365project.org/madhatters/365/2014-10-22

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I sure am. Got to watch my son win his last soccer game this morning and ate pancakes for breakfast (homemade with banana, chocolate chips and coconut and some with blueberries).
