Blue Wall #3

When I look at this photo

I think I can HEAR

the sun shining,

the wind blowing,

the rain falling,

all at one time.

The beautiful weathered appearance

along with lines and shadows

and that persistent blueness.

Appealing.

(No pun intended, at first.)

Belfry

The clear blue sky

creates a stable cyclorama

to enhance the scrumptious

details of this stately dome.

The brickwork

and the red, gold, and white

trimmings;

the arched openings

with faux columns

and headers.

Gorgeous.

Palms and Fountains in Anaheim

Anaheim Convention Center,

arena peeking into the photo from left

like what is being called a "photo bomb" these days;

similarly the flagpole finial in the center of the pic

jutting toward the fountain...

"Big A" sculpture in the distance,

and beyond that a glimpse of 

Disney's "California Adventure" amusement park.

Palm trees,

concentric decorative paving...

very nearly too many elements in this photo.

How many humans can you find in this pic?

Bark

A desolate landscape:

mountains, valleys,

crags, ravines,

buttes, canyons,

riverbeds, lava flows...

texture

line

shadow

shape

hidden images

faces, objects, mythical beasts and creatures.

All for study

in a square foot of live tree sheathing

bark.

Chair #7

Perfectly sturdy,

healthy,

useful

chair;

tossed aside

when the building it belonged to

was abandoned.

If a chair could curl up

in a fetal position,

I think this lonely chair

would do it.

Or

maybe this chair

is moving toward

The Light.

Random Decor

This is simply

about random decor

in a Washington, DC,

hotel lobby.

The giant chess pieces

are eye-catching in their chrome-like glory...

next to cowhide side panels on a leather armchair...

on top of a madly modern print carpet...

Interesting.
