So Friday afternoon I was going to a preview of the new Gilcrease Museum. I checked in with guard at the entrance to the parking lot and I was a little early and so he said you got some time so go ahead and park and make yourself at home. I never need to be told that. You invite me to your house, I’m going to check out your books, liquor cabinet, and refrigerator. I’ll be playing with your dog and tracking down your cat. So now you know why I never get invited anywhere. But at Gilcrease I parked and walked across the street to the Thomas Gilcrease Mansion. I love the formal garden there.
They had the fountain going so I was trying to make a slow shutter photo of the fountain. Doing that with a handheld phone is tough. I hope it doesn’t make you too dizzy. And then I thought, hmm, I’m going to check out that the green structure is over there. I don’t know what you call it but it is wrought iron and very ornate.
So it was like wow, those are some interesting shadows.
Then I looked up through the lattice and wow. This is really cool. I’ve been here a lot and I guess that I never looked up.
So then I looked to the side and I love this shadow of the structure plus the garden fence. I love the long shadows of autumn.
As I left the garden I found this plaque about gardens. I swear have never seen this before but it is perfect.
I’m linking with Shadow Shot Sunday.
Fences do make the nicest shadows. Love your joke. It is a joke, right? Right? 🙂
Alan, You continue to delight me with all the things you share on your blog(s). What a neat thing to do … to visit the new Gilcrease Museum. The plaque about gardens is absolutely perfect. John
As Tom the Backroads Traveler from Skywatch says, always look up! You caught some great ironwork and shadows.
Me gusto la fuente. Te mando un beso.
To my detriment, I believe I have only been to the Thomas Gilcrease Museum once and never to the mansion. The new facility looks like a visit my wife and I need to make. There is a building a mile from our house that looks a little like the new museum. It has a large, colorful cantilever as a part of the design. Nice images Yogi.
Love the lattice and shadows! Interesting building too.
Looks like a minimilstic unusual looking building to be a museum but you might like to poke around B’s liquor collection, he makes his own spirits.
