tattered curtain 2012

My favorite photo op. I have been driving by this house on a daily basis and have taken pics of the curtain as it decays over a period of 4 years now. Pretty soon there will only be threads and maybe a bit of lace. At one point I was tempted to bring my lopping shears to cut the branches out of that tree so it wouldn't be in the way and mess the curtain up worse, but I figured that wouldn't be the natural course of its decay so I left it alone.

 

I took this pic early in the morning to catch the sunlight on the curtains. Usually, the sun is behind the building and I've only caught it in shade. I like the way I captured the play of shadows from the branches and the textures of the stucco on the right hand side.
