Postcards from the side of the road
Out here in the desert foothills the sun beats down
and weathers what ever you've left outside.
You may forget that.
Then one day your old broken down useless stuff becomes art.
Rusty pink tractor is museum ready.
Flora amid rusty iron tub with a hint of Star Jasmine nearby.

I think that weathering is always beautiful and nature creates some of the best works of art, even with machinery. Lovely postcards and welcome home, Gemma.

Nature always has her way of making a mark and beautiful it can be. Great postcard shots, Gemma!
ReplyDeletelove old weathered stuff. I saw lots of it on the weekend.. but no photo opportunities.. too difficult to stop on the side of the road on the bike. :(
ReplyDeleteThe weathered fence is just the look I've been after, shame I'll just have to wait!
ReplyDeleteLovely postcards,

I think I will be breaking a little while longer, Gemma, but seeing these postcards was lovely. A couple of them were a strong reminder of a visit I took to Mendocino a few years ago. Interesting how images of the ocean and the desert can be so alike.
