The Downtown Mall

A couple weeks ago I challenged myself to return to the familiar Downtown Mall in Charlottesville and discover a new perspective. John and I have spent many evenings walking to the Downtown Mall for good food, gelato and people watching, but I wanted go to a familiar place and see it in a new light. I focused on architecture, color, repetition and texture. I ended up really liking what came from this exercise especially because my view point radically changed from seeing a classically beautiful setting into a place with abstract beauty.
