This month's theme for City Daily Photo Blogs is feet. I captured these feet at the National Archives in Washington standing on a raised glass platform over a map of the Gettysburg battle field. View thumbnails for all participants in the Feet Theme.
It's also Monochrome Monday! To view other Black + White photos, please visit the Home of Monochrome Maniacs.

Glass over a map that you can walk on and see? Wow, what a concept; those feet with the shadows really help to illustrate it. I like this in black and white.
It's a great way to explore a map, except that people tend to be a bit preoccupied and bump into eachother :) A very nice photo.
lovely combo image!
Happy theme day. Please check out my blog.
Superb - at first I thought that they were skaiting:)
Have a nice week!
How fascinating to learn where these people are standing. For a moment I thought they were on ice-skates as they appear to be raised but now I understand. Really original choice.
Excellent mono, good composition.
Fantastic shot full of history, and in monochrome which to me gives it all the more atmosphere!
Optical illusion too looks like he's levitating. Excellent.
Very nicely done.
Floating feet! Fantastic photo!
I "visited" such a map in Paris. It's funny because it gives you a kind of vertigo, and the feeling to be the king of the world..It's also interesting because it gives a total view of a situation.Good illustration for a bit difficult theme..
I was wondering why they seemed to be floating. Cool shot!
That's really cool! Before I read the text, I was trying to figure out how the illusion of floating was accomplished! Very nice.
Great way to combine both themes! Looks like they are floating :)
Good photo and great way to combine the two themes in one!
You done good for both memes! Interesting idea to make the floor map visible but not get ruined.
I also left a comment on two others below because I came back to see your bench and got interested in them too.
Beautiful b & w shot and great choice to illustrate this June theme!
I almost can feel some balance like some dancers do!

Before I read your post I thought you stumbled onto magician :)
How interesting! I was wondering about the shadows until I read the part about the raised glass.
I thought this feet were in mid-air! What an intruiging capture for Theme Day.
I'm glad Jilly saw ice skates too - for a minute there I thought I was nuts!
Very cool shot.
It really looks like he is walking on air!!
really cool.
well this is unique. floating feet and good eye for you to notice. quite an effect
Ah, it's raised glass. Thta's why it looks as if they're not quite there! Lovely photo.
Excellent contribution to the CDP theme day. It looks like a great place for hopscotch. *lol* Just kidding.

It is an optical illusion - I thought they were on skates at first and standing in little square sections. How weird, I thought. Intriguing photo of a great idea.
I like this a lot! Very clever to choose this location!
This is a fun shot - very interesting to look at.
For a second with the shadows under their feet it looked like they had roller skates on too!
PS. Henry the VIII will always be known Henry Cherrystone in my mind now:)
Neat in B&W. I like the shadows!
