There’s a place in the heart of Indianapolis where all the cool folks go to play. It’s round, larger than life and filled with an abundance of architectural eye candy. A magnificent golden lady inhabits this place and she surrounds herself with a diverse group of friends. Her friends include bears, frontiersmen, and even buffalo. It’s a place alive with the sounds and sights of Indiana. It’s a must see.

Very set of shots of the architectural details! I really like the shot with the statue reflecting in windows. I briefly visited Indianapolis once and with my only free time, I had to visit the racetrack! I guess I missed out on some interesting architecture…
Yes, thanks. 🙂 Nice downtown area.
I never visited Indianapolis for in one or another way it never attracted me. Have been in many places (rural and urban) all over the USA. Had I seen these pictures before I certainly would have visited this city!
Great shots. The leaf piece is amazing. Is that part of a bigger statue?
Yes Charles. Good eye. Thanks.
What great shots– such beautiful designs. I love the street lamps.
They are nice. Thanks.
Your photography never cease to delight! Thanks….
Thanks Janet.
That is breathtaking! I’m amazed at the details, what great photos! Thank you for posting this… it’s like I spent the afternoon with you.
🙂
Thanks Jennifer.
I was born in Indianapolis, and still get there at least a couple of times a month. I’ve really enjoyed this series of photos. Monument Circle is one of my favorite places in the city, especially when it’s decorated for the holidays in December. Thanks!
Welcome. Thanks for the visit Greg.
It’s been years since I’ve been to The Circle. Thanks for the pictures and the memories they brought back.
Welcome. Thanks. 🙂
Not only do you have an interesting eye, but a humorous wit with your captions.. Very nice.
Thanks Toni.
Great pics!
Thank you very much Rich.
Are those skies really that blue or do you use a polarizer? Amazing contrast in this set.
That blue. I didn’t use a filter. P
That’s some playground. Cool friends.
Thanks Gallivanta.
Hi Seth,
Eye candy, you said 🙂 I would be having a field day, too.
I have never been here. What a photogenic town.
Cheers!
Yes it is a nice place. Thanks.
I just love the captions and the humour. It really brings the photos to life and makes you look a fraction longer. I had to search for that moustache and I wouldn’t have seen it otherwise.
Thanks. I am glad they are not too silly for you.
No such thing as too silly 🙂 Life should be less serious
The monuments from past and the buildings of glass
the activities of today, bring joy to yesterdays
Here we dance and play,
we sing and daze..its a place
its a space to be, for leisure and work
People are free and busy
as they walk past this square and see
branches with no leaves
and yes the flag that brings peace 🙂
Good pictures Sethsnap as we all can see 😉
Nicely said. Thanks so much. 🙂
Seth, I’ve nominated you for the Sunshine Award. Your posts do bring sunshine into my life day after day after day. You can see your nomination here: http://davidkanigan.com/2013/03/27/paying-it-forward-with-sunshine/. No worries if you choose not to accept the award…just know that you are appreciated. Dave
Thanks so much David. Glad I can bring a bit of sunshine to you.
These are wonderful. You have just shown me the intricate details i missed.
Thanks Ann.
Great pics Seth, I was there this past Christmas. Have pictures and a video of the ambience.
So I take it you had a good time?
All these places you visit and capture-have you a favourite place? And why?
I like most places. I can find something interesting in each one. My favorite city in the US is San Diego, followed closely by NYC.
Beautiful shots! So are you alway lying down for these or are you just really short? (Kidding) The photography is stunning!
I’m really short. 😉
Just wanted you to know that I nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. Please don’t feel obligated to do anything. I just wanted you to know that your work is appreciated.
That’s too kind of you. Thanks so much.
love the texture on “leaf piece”
Thanks Ema.
New Gravatar! enjoy ; )
🙂 yes thought folks were probably tired of seeing my goofy face. 🙂
‘My nerves son, my nerves’ simply hilarious! Over all great snaps.
My grandmother, Mawmaw, used to say that to us. 🙂
I visited Indianapolis several years ago for a family event, and I had not done any research about the city before I went. I was driving downtown, turned a corner, and saw this absolutely beautiful area by accident. Maybe it was the surprise of the whole thing, but it was one of the more beautiful architectural areas I have ever seen! Thanks for the trip down memory lane 🙂
You are welcome Brandon and thanks for your comments.
Beautiful shots.
Thanks David.
Loved them all Seth, especially the bears, gothic lights and the leaves. Great eye!
Thanks so much. 🙂 Glad you like them…
Seth, I love your work, you always find the heart and soul of you subjects. Thanks
Thats awesome of you to say. Thanks.
Pretty cool pictures!!
Thx so much. 🙂
Born and raised Indy. I live 9 miles from the circle. I am so thrilled that others see the beauty in this city. It often gets overlooked, but I truly feel this town is under-appreciated. Your pictures definitely show the best the city has to offer and hopefully will inspire others to see the city in a new light. Thanks!
It’s a wonderful place. 🙂 glad you like my photos.
Love your shots! It’s so beautiful!
Thanks Christine.
That third picture is amazing! The architecture is just something else. Great picks for your shots!
Thanks Tasha. How are you?
