Cindy - Florida 8:50-10:10 AM

Today's walk, I focused on the unsightly. These are the things that I try avoid when I take pictures during my walk.

My desire was to find the beauty in these things. Have I done that? Not sure...but it was worth a try!

Trees never seem to bore me.

Here are some random things that caught my eye. I love the cracks in the sideway. (Great reference photo for murals and tromp l'oeil painting)

I passed by this pool on my way back from my walk. I wanted to jump in!

So what do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts:)

I hope everyone has a great day!

If they'd been in front of something else, we'd be trying to see the background and the lines would not appear as sharp. Way to think outside the camera! The big, twisted tree(s?) is incredible. And I could have really used a jump in that pool, too! :); August 27, 2009 at 10:41 AM

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I agree a simple background (sky) works best for these busy power lines!
I really appreciate your encouraging words!:); August 27, 2009 at 5:48 PM

I really love the first collage. Who would have thought there could be beauty in power lines? There is a tower that I take continuously take photos of when I walk on the country road, but it never makes the post. It always captures my attention because of its colors and the clouds surrounding it. You've inspired me to try to take it again, and see what happens.

As you know, your water tank and pipe photos would have been top selection when I wrote engineering proposals. These are the best kinds of shots--when you capture the beauty of a water tank.

Finally, when I saw your cracked concrete with the grass growing through, I thought to myself, "This looks like something Cindy would paint." You are right! We definitely have reference material. What will we be using it for again?

Great post today!; August 27, 2009 at 5:54 PM

I look forward to seeing your power line pictures!
I do think all of these wonderful photos of ours must be put to use. I was on a very inspiring walk this morning and my wheels are turning....developing...:); August 28, 2009 at 7:30 AM
