What could be more utilitarian than a water storage tower? I guess, in many places, there’s probably not much that’s more utilitarian. But anyone in the northeast area of St. Petersburg who ever turns on their water is getting it from this very decidedly non-utilitarian looking storage tower! Much more fun than the standard gray tank that you see so often. And just another example of how St. Petersburg does a great job of making ordinary things extraordinary…

Very nice shot Bob. Here in Minnesota there is a Flickr group that is just about water towers. Some are plain and others painted up but they are all fun to shoot.
Sounds fun, Teresa. I’m going to look for it. Interesting note about this photo – I originally tried this a couple of months ago, but was not happy with the results. Now, after seeing so many gorgeous HDR photos on your site, I have continued to push myself, so I went back and took new photos and this time, I liked what I got!
