Project 365 – Day 88

Today was a beautiful day.  There was a chill in the air from a cold front, but the blue skies and blooming flowers reminded me that spring is almost here to stick around.

We have a beautiful park, amphitheater, and store front area by the city hall.  This afternoon I spent  a half hour or so walking around, relaxing, and looking for my daily project photo.  This was my favorite perspective, and I just love how the late afternoon sun lit up the trees and city hall for me.  The vibrancy and warmth against the blue sky help make this photo, in my opinion.  At the same time, I really dig black and white architectural photographs.  Naturally, I had to give this one a try.  I’m torn between the two:  On one hand, the color photo speaks “spring” to me through the blooms and the warm light, while the strong contrast of the black and white version has its own powerful appeal.  Which do you prefer?
