Like the “Little Engine That Could” I thought I’ll never find photos for this challenge. But when I re-read Patti’s post, I started thinking, “I Think I Can!”
So, I started searching and found some. Here’s what I found.
A very much alive window washer next to a store window mannequin. Taken at a local shopping center just before the stores opened. There are also a lot of reflections.

The Washington Monument towers above the tree line at the Capital Mall in Washington DC. This was taken just before President Obama’s inauguration and from a car window.

The shadow of a window appearing much larger than the actual window. Taken in downtown Sacramento.

Shadows reflecting on various parts of a wall at the Manetti Shrem Museum of Art in Davis, CA (UC Davis campus). I love the different walls and how the shadow reflects on them.

A sculpture of a small girl standing on a TALLish building, inviting you to be persistent.

Here we have the juxtaposition of color, style and placement of the SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity, This museum caters to grade-school children. SMUD is our Sacramento Metropolitan Utility District.

Thanks Patti for teaching me that when I “think I can,” I can! It was fun. Please remember to link to Patti’s post and use the Lens-Artist tag when you respond. We certainly had a “cropping” good time last week when Ritva gave us the encouragement to crop away! John is presenting our next challenge, so look for his post. In the meantime, stay safe and be resilient!
The man and mannequin is the best example!

Anne, sometimes, when we just put an idea in our heads, things eventually become clear. Your photos here are great. I loved every single shot, and, especially, the man and the mannequin, the large window shadow, and that gorgeous color juxtaposition. Great work!

Thanks Margaret! I didn’t notice the juxtaposition when I took the picture of the window washer. Now I’ll be thinking about it all the time!
