I took this at Eastman House. I have seen this scene for years and I always stop and photograph it, but I was never satisfied that I had an interesting picture. So I think this is good enough. I probably shot this 5 different ways, from inside a corridor with windows that looks out at this scene. I wanted this to look strange, as if a space ship had landed in a strange landscape. It is a strange building. This is in the back yard of Eastman House. Originally the museum was just in Eastman House, but in 1989 A new museum wing was added behind the mansion, and in addition, there is an underground research and storage facility that is about 3 stories deep! This structure is an emergency exit, I believe from the underground facility. But it is a strange structure, isn't it? I thought black and white worked better than the color version of this photograph.
The dark pine trees hiding part of the Space Ship is perfect in black and white. Hard to imagine 3 levels below ground. Joan
ReplyDeleteHaha! Good title. It does look like it could be a spaceship. I also thought of a greenhouse. Who would ever guess that this structure is used as an emergency exit. Betsey
