In his song "You Can Call me Al" Paul Simon sings
He is a foreign manHe is surrounded by the soundThe soundCattle in the marketplaceScatterlings and orphanagesHe looks around, aroundHe sees angels in the architectureSpinning in infinityHe says Amen! and Hallelujah!
I've never understood the lyrics of this song, but I do like the line that refers to "angels in the architecture." And if you look closely at any building like the Minnesota state capitol building, there are angels everywhere. But in this photo, it seems that there actually is an angel. And I hadn't seen it until after I picked the title for the post.If you look at all three of my HDR capitol photos over the last few days, you will see an attempt at achieving perfect symmetry in my composition. Frankly, I'm a bit obsessive about it and I spend considerable time in framing the photo trying to get the lines perfect and if they aren't perfect, I fix them in the crop. Good or bad? I don't know. But in capitol building architecture there seems to be plenty of balance and symmetry and my photos strive to capture that.
