An image characteristic about a city in quarantine, not psycho like someone told, but a city hit by economic crisis. So wandering around the streets, you could see discarded equipment from closed clothing stores, surrounded by favorite animals!
Rain turns the sand into mud
Wind turns the trees into bone
Stars turning high up above
You turn me into somebody loved

Found this mysterious object on a rocky beach in the Azores - brick mashed into stone, worn by the sea into a smooth triangle? No idea what this is, sort of wish I’d brought it home.
Starting a new set today: autumn leaves that fell. What can a person do with leaves on the ground? Well, maybe more than what you'll see from me over the next few days, but you may find my offerings interesting.
As for this image, I didn't touch a thing. Somehow when I try to arrange a still life in nature, it never works: I can't duplicate the random chaos or patterns-within-chaos that occur naturally. My concoctions are always a little too perfect and artful, and I never like the results. I learned a long time ago to just go with what I find, the only changes being to occasionally remove a twig or use my hat to bend grasses away and out of the frame while I make the shot.
A friend sent me this quote recently and I think it applies not only to the coming series but to all creative endeavours...
Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.

Another manipulation of the little Etsy Octo, this one perhaps more sinister than the previous 5. Sold.
On the road from Avetrana to Manduria, we stopped at the church of San Pietro, near the beach. The beach was practically deserted; it was clearly no longer peak season. The temperature during this period was around 25 degrees Celsius.
Across the main street from the church is a place where you can enjoy delicious ice cream.
We then continued along the coastline with views of the beautiful beaches. We reached Marina di Maruggio, where we turned off to Manduria.
It started by a pick
of very average
art.
After the act of erasion,
and the addition of
new paint, plus
a minor quantity of
iron wire mesh,
and used-up cutting
disc.
this became
a day at the zoo

Some say / I should creates larger artworks. // Now, this is large enough / not to say / one size fits all.
While walking a bit in the park I saw something blinking hanging in a bush near the path. I had a closer view and found this pacifier someone may have found and put it at this place. I tried a look through my cam and found it looked somehow amazig. This is the small story of this photo. 😄
