Today is Columbus Day, and 514 years after his death. Columbus is more controversial than ever before. I took today's photos a few months ago, when I was on Courthouse Square in downtown Scranton, practicing my depth of field skills. Notice, the sharpness of the statue and the blur of the building behind it.As a kid, I always remember Columbus Day as the first three day weekend of the school year, and way back when, Columbus was viewed as a hero.Here are the photos. As for Columbus, feel free to make up your own mind.
