Fabric Pattern #2

For some reason that is utterly

obscure to me now

I imagined that the paper clip

would add interest

to this photograph.

Or maybe I was just taking a picture

of the paper clip

thinking I could crop the photo

in some fascinating manner

before I shared it.

Whatever.

(as "they" say)

The fabric itself

is exponentially more interesting

than the paper clip.

However,

if you don't mind my saying,

having a perfectly unabridged

paper clip

in the middle of my

"fabric pattern"

is

at the very least

an ice breaker.

And for all you tens of paper clip enthusiasts out there

the paper clip itself

cries out,

"Believe in me!

Trust me!

Own me!"

Right?

Or

maybe it is a completely

disastrous

pathetic

paltry

silly

and otherwise misconceived

photo.

Anyway, I like the color and pattern of the fabric.

So, please try to ignore the paper clip.

Or sublimate.

Look BEYOND the paper clip.

As I said earlier,

"Whatever."

Clip-Art and Courthouse

Old courthouse framed by the arch of a modern structure

and in vertical line with giant paper-clip art installation.

The courthouse is also reflected in the tall glass entryway of the newer building.

This courthouse was also featured a few months ago in THIS POST.

Here is a closer look at The Clips from a different angle with a different background.

I didn't catch someone standing next to them for scale, but the nearby benches provide a clue.

I'd guess they are at least twenty feet tall.
