Taken during the downtown Phoenix Festival For The Arts. The featured image is a portrait rather than a wide angle, and gives a great example how framing can create a different mood and feeling with the same subjects.

Nine Minutes of a Sleeping Puppy (dreaming of organizing gigabytes of video)
https://youtu.be/w9Mrer4tQao An adorable sleeping puppy accompanied with soft piano music. I was testing camera equipment in early 2016 and pointed it at the new dog (Waffles).
