Out Looking...

Entry to the American Theatre, King Street, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok
(Click on image for larger view.)


The voice in his head told him, "You never know what you might see when you are out looking". So he kept his eyes open and alert... all four of them. Little did he suspect that, when walking past this old movie theater, he would suddenly be enchanted by this wonderful collection of shapes, lines and warm colors. Doug could not resist the urge to take a picture...
 so he did.
And, he did all of that (dramatic pause),
 without tripping or stumbling.

Well, that was a really exciting story.

    doug lives in a blessed place where he can easily find such magnificent places that urge him on to adventures ... ;-))

    I think your angle was really effective here. It's a great abstract!
