These two photographs were taken on a Friday in Oct. at approx. the same time one week apart. These Danube river boats called Ulmer Schachtel are tied up near the dam. The first one was on a sunny cloudy day and the second on a foggy misty day. Matthew G. Beall  The Boats  2011 Matthew G. Beall  The Boats 2  201...

Last Friday morning I went to the dam (Ulm, Germany) to take some more photographs. As luck would have it I had some nice light which, of course, gave me some great shadows. Not to mention the wonderful geometry of lines. Matthew G. Beall  The Dam Ramp  2011 Matthew G. Beall  Sharing the Dam Ramp 201...

That all changed this past Sunday morning, a cloudy fall morning that was both warm and cold. I was chasing light and shadow. Matthew G. Beall  Dam  & Clouds  2011 Matthew G.
