<p>Corn Silk - we attempted to grow corn one year. Don't think we had enough growing days because there was no harvest/ But it was magical watching the cobs form and that lovely glowing silk (the number of kernels on the corn can be counted by the strands of silk. Nature is so magical.

<p>Chicago Water Tower Christmas </p><p>I've titled this photograph 'City of Chicago Old Water Tower Christmas' because it evokes a sense of resilience and devotion. The historic water tower, built in 1869, stands as a testament to the city's remarkable recovery from the devastating Great Chicago Fire of 1871. This symbol of old Chicago serves as a poignant reminder of the power of faith and perseverance.</p><p>As I gaze upon the Christmas tree in the public square, I'm struck by its significance. This evergreen symbol, adorned with a star or angel, represents the eternal and vibrant spirit of life. In contrast to the barren trees of winter, the Christmas tree embodies hope and renewal, reminding us that our existence is rooted in the promise of everlasting life.</p><p>The intersection of these symbols fills me with joy and a deep sense of connection to the scriptures. Jesus' words in Matthew 11:28-30 come to mind: 'Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.' His promise of rest and peace is a beacon of light in a world often consumed by chaos and uncertainty.</p><p>More —>> <a href="https://frankjcasella.pixels.com/blogs/chicago-water-tower-christmas-tree-black-and-white-.html" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="frankjcasella.pixels.com/blogs/chicago-water-tower-christmas-tree-black-and-white-.html"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">frankjcasella.pixels.com/blogs</span><span class="invisible">/chicago-water-tower-christmas-tree-black-and-white-.html</span></a> <a href="/tags/photography/" rel="tag">#photography</a> <a href="/tags/fineartphotography/" rel="tag">#fineArtPhotography</a> <a href="/tags/blackandwhitephotography/" rel="tag">#blackAndWhitePhotography</a> <a href="/tags/chicago/" rel="tag">#chicago</a> <a href="/tags/fjcasellaphoto/" rel="tag">#fjcasellaPhoto</a></p>
<p>Silhouetted Winter Trees at Dusk – Black and White</p><p>Sometimes there is more color from the black-and-white than the color photograph. For example, these silhouetted trees stand against a vibrant sunset. The sky glows with shades of orange and purple, creating a serene evening scene. However, when you remove the color, you actually see the personality of the trees and the base of the story about this photograph.</p><p><a href="https://frankjcasella.wordpress.com/2025/12/21/silhouetted-winter-trees-at-dusk-black-and-white/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="frankjcasella.wordpress.com/2025/12/21/silhouetted-winter-trees-at-dusk-black-and-white/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">frankjcasella.wordpress.com/20</span><span class="invisible">25/12/21/silhouetted-winter-trees-at-dusk-black-and-white/</span></a> <a href="/tags/fineartphotography/" rel="tag">#fineartPhotography</a> <a href="/tags/blackandwhitephotography/" rel="tag">#blackandwhitephotography</a> <a href="/tags/photography/" rel="tag">#photography</a> <a href="/tags/artist/" rel="tag">#artist</a> <a href="/tags/fjcasellaphoto/" rel="tag">#fjcasellaPhoto</a></p>
