  Wow, Dolores! You were allowed to take pictures in a mall! LOL! This is wonderful and the color reminds me a bit of your blue ceiling! Great!

  While you looking up I picked up the $10 bill you walked over :0) Seriously, Dolores, very nice shot. The composition and colors make a fine abstract.

Dolores Neilson
  Thanks again so very much BT!! Much obliged for your continued support! Happy shooting!

I'm so delighted you approve of my shot, Cathy!! Thank you for taking time to post your complimentary comment. Have a super weekend! We're going to be swimming be tomorrow according to the weather report...lots of rain...and with the accumulation of snow already on the ground..gurgle...gurgle!

Bonjour Damian!! Merci beaucoup! Happy day my French friend!

Hi Joy!! Thank you to you! I'm really not a mall babe like I used to be! I only go when I HAVE to (exchanging a pair of jeans for my daughter in this case)...I dislike the congestion, dodging people, countless miles to access the stores you want to reach...yuk!

Robert... I wondered if it was ok to photograph this...figured someone would quickly bring it to my attention if it wasn't permissable. I actually heard a two way radio in the distance but nobody approached me to denounce my photographing the sky light. That would explain why there were suspicious looks from some of the mall goers! I appreciate immensely your complimentary comment! It reminds ME of my blue ceiling too! Except this is natural sky through sky lights and the other is a blue painted architectural ceiling. Have a great weekend!

Gee Murry! I went to exchange a pair of jeans and ended up spending over $150!! And I walked over 10 bucks? LOL!
A shoe store was having a going out of business sale and bought Nike and New Balance sneakers for birthdays and next Christmas! I guess my mall trip turned out OK...got a pic and sneaks out of it! Thanks so much, Murry! Always delighted and appreciate your delightful posts!

  Greetings Mette!! Thank you!! Though I think I'm far from a master at ceiling shots...I think it coincidental that I discover a patterned domed sky light ...with beautiful blue skies as backdrop! When I returned less than an hour later, the skies were white. I appreciate your generous and complimentary comment immensely!

HI Sharon!! THank you so much! This is my first mall shot actually. "Ceiling Blue" was shot at a restaurant (not in a mall) my aunt introduced me to. I can understand why you think there's a pattern of mall shots..both a similar.
Many thanks again for your support. Have a super weekend!

  Thanks so much Debbie! The graphics was what appealed to me also.
Yes, sister friend! I couldn't agree with you more about a great shot versus $10!!

Mette...that was awfully nice of you to give me some credit. I don't think I deserve too much, God paints...I just record it.

  Another masterpiece of creativity Dolores!! Reminds me of a spiders web, so much so that I half expect one to appear when looking at this.

  Hi Mark!! Thank you so much! For your compliment that brought me a huge smile! So nice of you to take the time!

Greetings Gary! Hah!...you caught me.. I don't park the saucer in this garage, the aliens do! Maybe someday they'll take me to their world and I'll bring back some photographs. Maybe a grand prize winner, eh? Many thanks, GAry!
