The Daily Post: Corner

This photo was taken at the Twentieth Century Club in Pittsburgh several years ago. I had the pleasure of attending an event that my employer was sponsoring. And what a beautiful venue it is!

As always, I look for subjects that make great photos and this one fit the theme for this week’s photo challenge.

The artistic murals offered a lovely narrative from far away lands, while the antique furnishings complimented the elegant decor of this magnificent club. With a vintage radiator to chase away the chills on frigid winter nights, I could spend time here with a good book and cup of hot tea. 

But this particular evening was a spring/summer affair and more about cocktails and socializing…we had a terrific time!

The kinds of things that distract me are usually found when I glance upwards. Towering skyscrapers and vibrant sunsets. A sudden flock of loudly honking Canadian geese. And occasionally a giant chandelier!

The idea of looking up at something suggests that it’s large. There are exceptions like the moon and the stars. To the naked eye, these appear quite small. However, their vast distance away from us belies the fact that they’re quite massive, as well.

These things tend to grab my attention long enough for me to find my iPhone and snap a photo. Then, I linger awhile and enjoy the many delightful detours that surround us everyday!
