January, though a winter month was calm and had many days made for great photo walks. I took my first photo walk with a friend-and fellow photographer and my daughter-a future photographer. There are many things to capture the eye in and around down town Tulsa, OK.
People are great subjects. Other great subjects can include landscaping, cars, buildings, and anything else that might interest you along the journey.
This particular photo is a church which reminds me of the stories of fairy tales and knights, princesses, queens and warriors from another time and another place that can only be visited in the movies or your own imagination.This particular "castle" is located right here in Tulsa, OK present day and has nothing to do with castles (other than in my imaginary world of mysticism and fiction).
Old buildings once included figures and gargoyles which have always fascinated me. This one is on that same church (or "castle") in downtown Tulsa,OK. They were thought to keep evil spirits away...and I'm sure you can find plenty of superstitions and tales containing their origins and purposes.
Rt 66 is a favorite topic around Oklahoma. This is a gate next to The Blue Dome downtown. The Blue Dome was Rt 66's first 24 hour filling station (once upon a time). Today houses offices for local downtown restaurants for now. Oklahoma has a Rt 66 museum in Clinton, OK. Here is a link if you would like to learn more: http://www.route66.org/index2.html
Now that the storms have potentially passed (at least for now), enjoy a photo walk with a friend, or neighbor, or fellow photographer and see what you can capture "on film".....
