I’m joining in with Sandie at itchifingers for her 5 in 5 meme again this year. We took Caleb to the Museum of Science and Industry today to see the Brick By Brick (Legos) exhibition. It was amazing, and Caleb and his Grandpa were in heaven. I’ll be sharing some photos from that in the near future. We had some time to kill after lunch today before our tickets for the movie on the National Parks (also wonderful) so we headed to the Art of the Bicycle exhibit.
I’m counting this one as the title photo, not one of the five. I loved the graphic look of this piece. Rather than take photos of whole bicycles, I chose to focus in on the elements that attracted me. A couple of these work for prompt 13, cogs/gears, in the Winter Photography Hunt, as well.
I loved the shadows this bicycle cast on the wall.
This was a wooden bicycle, and one for the WPSH.
I’m always a fan of red!
More cogs and gears.
And although this also is a candidate for the WPSH, it was the bright green that attracted me here.
It turns out that a museum exhibit is the perfect place on a cold, gray day in Chicago to find five photos in five minutes. Thanks, Sandie, for hosting this in 2017!
These are fascinating – I am always amazed at the ingenuity of the human brain in conceptualizing how to make machines. I especially like your shadow bike …
Me too! Agree with Sian. The shadow bike is so striking (and also a WPSH contender – Alt B!).
Your clever eye has spotted just the perfect subject for a “five”
(As a complete side note, seeing my name mentioned by mistake by someone I don’t know has made me smile. Maybe she means a different “Sian” of course. I shouldn’t jump to conclusions lol)
No – I meant you :o) Only just noticed the mistake myself! Sorry (and sorry Alexa). Not paying attention … maybe your Typepad pattern has slipped into my subconscious and led me astray even as I fail to actually READ.
What a fun exhibition. I agree with the previous ladies that the shadow photo is excellent.
Geez: I’d like to see that exhibit…your photos are great and I like the way you zeroed in on the different parts of the cycles…guess I’d have to vote for the shadows too as my favorite. Alexa hit the nail on the head! And certainly you did too with this quintet!
Cheers~
Oh, Karen, these are FABULOUS! I really like how you framed each of these photos, showcasing certain elements!
I can only echo everyone else Karen, the photos are superb! I also was drawn by the graphics in the first photo and I loved the way you just took close ups of sections. I’ve not seen a wooden e before and that appeals, I love natural materials and the grain of wood. Asked like others the one that stood out especially is the first bike with the shadows. Amazing shapes! I was also intrigued by the cos and chains, I am fascinated by how things work and abstract shapes. You are on a winner here with this collection. So much more I could say! Thank you for joining in Karen and it will make me see things differently next time I go to a bike museum.
