Indiana Love

Today's photo was taken last Sunday at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. They have a fairly famous, large, outdoor sculpture by Robert Indiana, entitled "Love", for obvious reasons. According to the description, they recently restored it and are letting the weather age it naturally over the next few years back to its normal "variegated purplish brown patina with iridescent overtones". In other words, it's like I took its picture just after a radical haircut instead of waiting for its hair to grow out.

The hexagonal flares in the photo are due to the fact that there was a bit of wind and snow in the air and the sun was in front of the camera. They're snowflakes, out of focus. I think I like that effect and might try for it on purpose sometime. What do *you* think?
