Another one of those “it’s getting later in the afternoon, and the sun is setting behind the building” kind of moments. I should really read up on the best way to photograph in this situation? Unless someone else has any ideas how to get the best picture with a setting sun?
I really like this mural. The way it was done, the colors, the subject everything about this one speaks to Wauseon. I also like that the artist put in the name of the city on the train station depot.
What sticks out for you when you view the mural? Please comment below.
Thanks,
David W. Gates Jr.
