Another Post from Fair Park (Part 2)

It goes without saying that Fair Park is the largest collection of Art Deco buildings assembled in one place. There are things at Fair Park that I know that are there, but I have not seen them to date. Sometimes it is a bit of pressure (self-created) to get everything edited from a days shoot and filed where they need to be for future reference. Usually, that is either to my editors sites, this blog or the delete button.Sometimes, I might send one or two to a local lab to be processed which I have printed for an album that sits on my coffee table.
Before hitting that delete button, however, usually, I will go over an image at full power from top to bottom and side to side. Amazingly, one will see things that  had been missed or were just in to much of a rush to really appreciate what your image is really all about. This image is just such a discovery!

If you have been to Fair Park and have every been to the former Women's Museum Building, the art deco art work sculptures are amazing. There is one at Fair Park that I haven't seen, but I know it is on the grounds somewhere. Not making a special effort to find it specifically, my thinking was that in time, I would eventually cover the full 177 acres and would discover the location of the unseen statue.

While giving the image the last and final inspection I found the missing statue at Fair Park! Now that I know the location, I can now focus on getting a much better shot of the statue, but that will have to wait for now.
