These  giant (9-foot) statues line the Grohmann Museum’s rooftop sculpture garden.

As I was walking into my building this morning, I saw this reflection in the windows of the office building across the street.  When I saw the statues’ silhouettes in the glass, I decided to take a picture.

Then after dropping stuff off upstairs in my office, I ran to get coffee.  By the time I got back, the sun had emerged from behind a cloud.  What a difference a change in lighting makes in a photograph!

Coming into the building again much later in the day, around 4:15 pm, I noticed the sun hitting the statutes from the opposite angle.  I think of the three photos, this late afternoon one is my favorite.  It’s only an iPhone picture, but now I can look at the image whenever I like.  And if I ever decide to try for a better photograph, I can bring my good camera downtown on a similar afternoon.
