My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
Â
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!Â

You really do have a wonderful eye for light, Tara. This image draws me in and makes me want to go explore.

Wow. Great light joke. Brava Tara.

Concrete is fascinating through your eyes,Tara! This is most remarkable and reminds me of many a (depopulated) Dutch painting.

Superb capture Tara. God Bless.

Nice shot and lighting!!

The light gives the feeling of coolness on a hot day with fascinating shapes to the concrete, looks like it was a candidate for trying a bit of HDR to get a bit more detail in the highlights.

Light and form - always there, but seldom seen except through the eyes of master photographer. Arresting and beautiful (although I know it wasn't designed for the aesthetics...)

Beautiful light and angles makes you wonder what's around the corner.

Beautifully lit, surprising that a place built for war, can be made to look so pleasant Good shot Tara! Rob

Well, ya know, the Romans invented concrete (they needed something to put all of their graffiti on, after all,) and so there's no way that concrete can be boring! I mean, not with an ancient Roman lineage. And I have to say that in looking at this shot, I know a few UrbEx (urban explorer) people who would commence to a bit of extreme (and possibly embarrassing) drooling over this image. It's got me drooling, and my Muse actually sat up, put down her iPod and started doing that Muse thing again...and that's a good thing. What I really like about this is the way in which you've captured the nice way in which concrete ages. The light and shadow, and sense of vacancy is marvelous! This is really super work! Oh, and by the way, did I tell you that I like this?

Excellent.

Love the play of light and shadow.. very nicely done!

One of the best things about coming to photos after everyone else has commented is getting to read what they wrote...love Chip's "sense of vacancy",...we've seen and experienced a lot of that in our coastal artillery haunts:) Ahhhh, the light!
