Her is another one for the April Challenge. I photographed the outstanding chalk art creation at last years festival in Pasadena California. Due to the size and severe space restrictions I had to borrow a ladder and compose keeping as much of this outstanding work as possible.

Wonderful Art! I like how you managed to squeeze in the artistic materials on the right side which helps tell what this is even without the explanation. Hard to believe this can be accomplished with just chalk and a sidewalk. You captured it well.

I agree with Mike, Art. This works on all levels and as Mike mentioned, including the chalk was a stroke of genius.

Isn't this event coming up again, very soon?

Yeah, this is really cool! They do a couple of these around here, but I've never been able to get to them. Perhaps this year?

Very cool! Hmm - one of the issues with living in a podunk town- we don't tend to have anything like this in the area!

They have Chalk Art in Denver in Larimer Square but I haven't gotten to it yet. Love the composition and can just see you climbing up a ladder to get this wonderful POV.

this very cool, it amazes me of the talent in these chalk drawing. this one is really good...you don't happen to have one of the person working on it. that would be great to see.

the best part is you didn't fall off the ladder and you got a great shot....you can do more than one thing at a time....LOL
