reflections of a tuba

Description

My mother-in-law turned 85 on Friday. She is an avid Iowa State fan and my wife arranged to have the Iowa State band play happy birthday to her prior to the football game. I stationed myself on the steps of the Alumni Building to get pictures of my mother-in-law being introduced. I was surrounded by tuba players and took the opportunity to take some shots of the reflections off the tubas. This was my favorite as the bell of the tuba acts like a fisheye lens and shows the Alumni Building and some of the band members.

This is beyond cool, Kirk - you have a little world there. Bet your mother-in-law was pleased as punch. #1500467
