Needless to say, the public art program in this city just started a couple of years ago, so the public art inventory is very limited.
Thanks to the New Mexico 1% for Public Art, it allowed for a small purchase for Fire Station 6 in Rio Rancho (due to the nature of how it was funded).
So, I headed out there to photograph the public art (it was a photograph collage).
Instead of showing you the public art I went out to photograph (I'm on the city's art commission; which is why I was on that errand to begin with), I'll show you the happy surprise-which was the sun shining through the garage that housed all the trucks and equipment. The fireman that was there offered to open the door so that I could get an unobstructed shot, but I opted to stay with the patterns that the glass on the door lent.
Shadows. Patterns. Texture. What's there not to like?
"Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see." (Martin Luther King)
Every week, a group of us from around the world post our shadow shots over at Shadow Shot Sunday 2. Entertain your muse and be amused by stopping by to see what others have posted! You can view all of my 2011 Shadow Shot Sunday images on my Flickr account.

Wow, 31 years a municipality is young indeed! I like that the door is closed, we have a nice mix of horizontal, vertical and diagonal. The Land of Enchantment offers a nice strong sun that filters far inside the firehouse. Artistic and practical blend well here...
What a great variety of shadows for the day, Paula! You always find the most intriguing shadow shots!! Hope your weekend is off to a great start!! Enjoy!
You were very creative in getting this great shot. Nice work.
great shots are often found in surprising places....
...and I'm glad you opted to give us the view YOU saw through the glass. Much more artfully designed in my opinion.
check, check and check...love everything about this photo paula!!!
A very cool shot.

Comments always makes me happy, would you leave me some?
Oh, yes, Paula, an unobstructed view wouldn't have been the same at all. Great shot!

Yes, this shot has it all.
It's economical to have it all in one shot. :)
Have a good week!
That happy surprise made your comings and goings worth it!
