I don’t know how many times I’ve walked past this wall of bronze tiles outside the Westlake Park Starbucks in too big of a hurry to notice what was happening around me but last month I finally slowed down enough to see several of them are actually inscribed with interesting quotes. I’ve since returned twice to photograph a few of my favorites and am posting them here today as part of Lens and Pen by Sally’s Phoneography and Non-SLR Digital Photo Challenge: Challenger’s Choice (street photography).

You have a sharp eye. I might have missed these also. But I love the composition — both the quotes and the aging tiles.

It is amazing what we can discover when we give ourselves permission to slow down and see what is before us. These are engaging, especially the combination of hues and simple designs of the tiles and the soft handwritten quotes. Happy Photo Challenge.

Nice find. Nice choice for the challenge. How we wish time just slowed down and not pressure us all the time. 😀 Then we could see everything clearly and in the very details. 🙂
