I’ve photographed Abbot Hall countless times at this point and so, when I spotted a new vantage point and composition on the morning of August 3rd, a huge grin plastered itself on my face. This was taken shortly after yesterday’s image of the float at Crocker Park as I made my way back to the car.
The sun had risen into the morning sky and I had exhausted all possible compositions and angles to be had on this particular morning. As I walked by the tree at Crocker Park and saw that Abbot Hall could be seen under its full canopy, I stopped to consider the possibilities.
This particular image required getting the camera nearly flat on the ground. The great morning light cast a nice glow on Abbot Hall tower and the grass in the foreground.
