On October 25, 2003 I was visiting a friend, David Hanssen, who lives in Sterling Masachusetts. On the trip back to Boston I stopped by the Sterling Recycling Center. These bottles, glistening in the afternoon sun awaiting recycling, caught my eye.
Shot with Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM lens @ f/2.8

wonderful!
you suggested:
I'd like to see a photo of you standing in front of the scene depicted in the photo in such a way that it looks like the photo is a window into the scene, a cut out...
my reaction:
nice idea
I might give it a try
one way or another!
thanks!

I appreciate all the comments. It was a "moment" that went beyond words when I was exploring various frames at the recycling center and it was almost as if the photo found me, rather than I finding it.
