Perspective is everything.

I'm stretching the theme a bit here, but I thought it relevant. Two views of the same scene. One a pleasing -- if perhaps illusory -- view from afar, another the not-so-pleasing view when you get up close enough to see the reality. It's a metaphor for many things I suppose -- including itself.

These are two of several shots I got along the waterfront in Cleveland when my son and I were making the "Great College Road Trip of 2005". We weren't actually visiting a college in Cleveland, but we had a day to kill, so we made a side trip to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Next morning, as we headed out of town we stopped so I could get this shot of a dock along Lake Erie.

After seeing Lake Erie up close and personal I decided it looks much better at a distance.
