Framing Is Everything, Part 2

Tweet

Earlier this year I posted a photo of Beargrass Creek, taken near a shopping mall. It was framed in such a way that it looked to be a serene shot from the woods instead of next to the parking lot. Here's another example of a case where framing is everything. Doesn't this appear to be from my recent waterfall tour of north central Tennessee? Nope. It's not even outside. I've been to quite a few Bass Pro Shops, including the biggest one (in Memphis, housed in the former Pyramid arena downtown); however, I have to say I'm spoiled by the local one. It has a manmade creek going through the center of the first level, complete with a stick dam (and stuffed beavers on the banks for effect), fish, and a small waterfall. (There's an even larger one upstairs.) Anytime I find myself in the vicinity (I bought my car across the street from the Bass Pro Shop) I stop in. It's a cheap vacation (as long as you don't buy anything ), and I get the benefits of nice (fake) "nature scenes" without the humidity, heat, and bugs!!
