I look at it and see the cracking upper layer of a drying mud puddle. I have to force myself to focus on the tree.<BR/><BR/>I'm partial to old edifice ruins. Our trip to Scotland years ago was good fodder for such a fasination. I could have stood encircled by the stone piles and standing stones of an assumed ancient cemetary for hours -- just photographing.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859698145917146528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1147399203310863832006-05-11T22:00:00.000-04:002006-05-11T22:00:00.000-04:00i take alot of pictures around where I live the ve...i take alot of pictures around where I live the very wonderful city of LA...<BR/>So I think that in itself brings a certain amount of decay sorta..<BR/>Great post as ususalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1147379772740518482006-05-11T16:36:00.000-04:002006-05-11T16:36:00.000-04:00If you walk in the woods, nearly every scene you c...If you walk in the woods, nearly every scene you come across is worthy of a post like this. I haven't taken photos of anything like that, but I always admire the patterns in bark and gnarled tree roots can keep my attention for hours.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1147379176226920012006-05-11T16:26:00.000-04:002006-05-11T16:26:00.000-04:00When driving in the country on smaller back roads,...When driving in the country on smaller back roads, occasionally you'll see an old abandoned farm house. I'm fascinated by the ones that are falling to bits and where nature seems to be reclaiming the space with grasses and trees and such. The foiliage follows the form of the building, then overtakes it. It's almost as if the organic, the natural pattern triumphs over the manmade, the artificial pattern.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1147376275799960602006-05-11T15:37:00.000-04:002006-05-11T15:37:00.000-04:00My favorite place as a child was the Marymount Aca...My favorite place as a child was the Marymount Academy, it was an old boys school that had been left to fall into ruin. We used the grounds for a summer camp and I often got to go into the school with the caretakers and just soak in the history. I loved walking through this forgotten place that had ushered so many young men into adulthood. It would almost seem to whisper to me, the air heavy with dust and past lives. LOVED it!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016235174235419233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1147352519536719212006-05-11T09:01:00.000-04:002006-05-11T09:01:00.000-04:00Your picture and question reminds me of the tons o...Your picture and question reminds me of the tons of pictures of nurse logs I've taken on our hiking trips. And the kids favorite "red brown butt rot". Seriously, that's what it's called. It's just another decaying stump but since it's a chance to say butt with out getting in trouble, they point them out as much as they can.~A~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17683986824860534772noreply@blogger.com
