Abstract Facing the Sun

Facing the Sun · 03:58 PM

While visiting an amusement park near where our boat is docked, I noticed that the molded face on this thrill ride, reaching its apex as it thrust upward, appeared to be eyeballing the sun. I stopped down, to get a star effect, and grabbed this shot on its second upward swing. It's kinda lame, but I like it - and so does my wife (which is what really counts).

Nah, JIM - I just grabbed this as a 5-year-old pulled on my belt. I rarely carry filters; like the infantry, I "travel light and freeze at night." I suppose I should look in the closet and pull out my old CP filters to see which of my new lenses they'd fit.
