From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dunn Tire Park and HSBC Arena (Buffalo) in a light dusting of snow
cropped version

This captures the beauty of nature and metropolitan life simultaneously.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 08:33, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, note that since the stadium has been renamed Coca-Cola Field, this picture with the Dunn Tire park ornamentation is now historic.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:56, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • You say this on a few of your noms here, but I don't get it - where's "...the beauty of nature"? Not much nature that I can see... --jjron (talk) 16:55, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I mean the natural element of a light dusting of snow.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 19:51, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Eh, thought you might have been referring to that - not being smart, but I don't think you're going to sell too many people on that. I mean, if it really showed the beauty of nature and metro you might have this scene with the dusting of snow and some beautiful plant surroundings all under a stunning blue sky. This is all a pretty dull grey for the most part. Not much point trying to sell it as something it's not. :-) --jjron (talk) 05:38, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • I see by your most recent FPC that you are a beach fan. In Buffalo, they do love their snow. This has less perspective distortion than most, but no blue sky. Does it have a shot at VP?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 06:42, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          • Not while it's only in an image gallery... While you're at it you'd want to crop the edges to take out those hangers-on, and probably rotate about a degree CCW. And to be honest, it shows more about those nondescript buildings down front than the C-C Field. I'm not really sure you'd be able to get an external FP/VP of this place, at least from this angle. It all seems too busy. --jjron (talk) 16:25, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
