farmingdale water tower


please click on photo to see tower up close



I've passed by this typical long island water tower a zillion times over the years. I don't think I've ever seen it look so pretty standing there in the sky. this reminded me of a Thoreau quote I recently came across over at
sylvia's blog, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."
check out some typical new york city water towers here and one up close, here, not to mention this unique one here.

It certainly does look wonderful against that blue sky!

A great shot against the sky. But all of your shots are great, Lilly! And you're right, it's all in what/how we see things that make them beautiful! Thanks for the tag to my blog, glad you enjoy the quotes!

Have a great week!

That's a great quote {thanks, Sylvia!} and a beautiful photo, Lily. I love the aqua colour.

Yes, the changing nature of light is what makes a photograph. Some things only look pretty for 3 minutes a day. Lovely photo.

What I see?...a round rescue boat that was hung high up there. Can´t help it, that is a rescue boat.

Water towers---not all are in the shape of Mickey Mouse. Nice skies over Long Island.

Oh, I like that quote very much. I'll have to remember it. I like the looks of your water tower. I see something very nice. Thanks for sharing the other links, too. Happy Tuesday!

I love water towers like that, they always make me think of space ships, alien ships landing .. the sky is wonderful and makes the tower POP!

YOu did a great job with the contrast not to lose the beautiful sky on the sunny day! Did you use a polorizer?

Consider adding photo information - exposure, lesn, filters. This makes it more interesting for photo geeks like me - not only to admire but to learn what works or does not work.
