The Flatiron Building
.
No, not THAT Flatiron Building. This is the one in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The original was built in 1880 and burned down in 1890. A replacement was built in 1890 and also burned down. The one there now was built in 1987. At least the site is historic. To me, it looks like a locomotive surging down the street with building in tow. The building houses a hotel (“The Flatiron Flats” of course), and some shops. I’ve photographed it before but finally got something I am somewhat pleased with.
The Warped Prism 
This is a “WOW” shot for sure, Charles. It’s a great piece of architecture and the shot is amazing. The choice of selective color was perfect.
My father had a Foth Derby camera in which the film advance and shutter cocking were separate operations, so there was always a possibility for unintentional multiple exposures. I have a twin lens reflex, a Yashica D, where you can do the same. It still works fine if you can find 2 1/4 film anymore.

Great shot. Looks like a great place for a scary movie to be filmed.
