This image, reflected off the Northwestern Mutual Financial building across the street, shows the distorted reflection of the clock tower of Tampa's Old City Hall, also known as "Hortense the Beautiful".

The tower was dedicated in 1915 to Hortense Oppenheimer Ford for her great contibution in raising the funds for the clock tower.

This is a high ISO image (ISO 1600).

I've been a photographer most of my life, starting very young with a Kodak Instamatic camera. There were a few others over some years and in my mid-twenties a Canon EOS 630 (film camera) which I used extensively. Then I quit for a while. Can't say I know why, life happens. Some years ago I decided I would commit to what I knew had long been an important part of my life. It has been good in many ways, mostly because it lets me see the world around me as a place to enjoy and share. There is much that goes on around us that is negative and depressing, to say the least. It lifts my spirits to find other views that show there is much to be grateful for and much that others might find inspiring although they might never get the chance to see...
