I have always loved the detailing on this very large, elegant home, which sits on a steep and graceful section of Masonic Street around the corner from my own much more modest condo.  This is the second time I have photographed the home’s architectural detail through the scroll of fence and front garden.  This time the light was favorable — sun forcing its way through the last of the early morning fog.  Also, the last time there were no purple flowers, which my wife tells me are called butterfly bush.

Subjects lit by full sun–even early sun, as here–are not my favorite.  The exception is when shadows add complexity. Someday, I am going to do a whole series focused on scaffolding.
