Weekly Photo Challenge – Grand

“Man Made Militia” – Frick Park – Pittsburgh, PA – Installation – Stone Cairns

I don’t have access to the scenic vistas or beautiful landscapes that are commonly thought of as “grand”… So I have to make them… Believe it or not… This installation is on the banks of a sewer… Your surroundings are what you make of them… And in my case… I want to make them grand…

I took a walk to Frick Park as the sun was rising… On my journey I spent a few moments watching the sun rise over an old church that was covered in pigeons… I found myself questioning whether God would consider the exorbitant amount of money spent on our places of worship money well spent… Probably not…

When I arrived to my destination the sun had yet to break the trees… As always… I sat for a while and scanned the area for stones… Having been to this spot before… I actually knew exactly where the sun would rise… I carefully chose my starter rock to be situated in front of the sun… Watching the beams of sunlight fall from the sky as the sun rose… Finally landing in all the right spots…

This photo is the result…
