Weekly Photo Challenge: Layers
This week, the theme is to:
Photograph layers
Photographing layers this week initially gets me thinking macro – getting in close and really looking at the individual layers that makeup the whole.
Detail of Anselm Kiefer, Breaking of the Vessels, made from layers of metal in the St. Louis Art Museum.
Of course, layers lends itself to photos of food – cake specifically – but I take way more photos of architecture than I do food. So, I have only a layer of bricks to show.
Feel free to add photos of colorfully layered cakes and things! At least the photos of bricks don’t add calories.

But anything stacked will work as a photo of layers. Whether the layers goes up and down…
Bubbles in the ice.
… or back to front.
I have lovely photos from the Arch grounds and from a park across the Mississippi River, but the Arch can be seen from many parts of downtown as well and from many angles – sometimes not even retaining the iconic arch shape. I loved the layering of the city buildings, which show a cross-section of St. Louis: modern skyscrapers next to old, abandoned (and graffiti-ed) structures. The hint of the Arch in the void uniquely places the photo in a city.
…or even both.

Look for layers in landscapes and nature. 
And this might be a good challenge to practice shallow depth of field – layering foreground and background.

I like the first photo: an abstract in wonderful colours. The photo of bubbles in ice is the most puzzling though; did you reverse the colours?

Thanks! The bubbles in the ice are frozen. I darkened the water a bit, but this is what the river looked like during our last really cold freeze.

The stark peaks that loom over Canada’s Icefield Parkway are comprised of countless layers of rock, Jenn: http://bit.ly/IcePkw
