Must See Newly Painted Water Tower In Ocean County, NJ
I have discussed it before (photography) and shared photos I have taken over the years. It's a hobby for me and I do love capturing photos from all over our travels. If you are into photography as a hobby then you know what I am talking about. It's a passion to capture great subjects and scenery when you can. Whether it's a beautiful sunrise or sunset or a puppy sleeping, getting a great pic is always satisfying. In this particular case, it's the "water tower". Yes seems like a boring subject but there is a lot of features when it comes to water towers. Their shape, their design, their history, and the art are all part of what makes "water towers" a great subject. If you go to cities you will always find water tanks and towers scattered throughout the skyline and I love taking photos of those old ones, they make great black-and-white photos. Today a trend in suburban towns is to customize and paint their water towers, making them a piece of art in the sky.
