This was taken a few years ago in the fall, in my backyard. Beauty can be found anywhere, even in barbed wire with a backdrop of dying fall blackberry brambles!
I hope this is a thought provoking shot. a) These are cultivated poppies growing wild at the edge of a farmer's field. b) The view is in the countryside but clearly the town in the background is not far away. and it is encroaching fast (We have to build 850 homes per year! !http://www.basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/politics/11676516.Planning_inspector_wants_850_new_homes_built_in_Basingstoke_and_Deane_every_year/) Clearly the poppies are on the wire literally but it is as though they cannot make up their minds whether they belong in the town or the country, just as the idiom, 'on the wire' or 'on the fence' suggests. The ominous thing is they won't have long to make up their minds because the town will soon encroach. I know there are many other meanings about on the wire. It would be interesting to hear them, especially from around the world.
Oh and another thought provoking idea - look at which camera I used!
in 2018 this view changed much because of a newly built skyscraper behind this old depot for the subway trains.
Standing in the small station of Jersey Av at 6:30pm on a Friday evening is quite an unnerving experience....
You feel lonely.....and life around you just goes on.
Shot on the iphone.
P.S: Half an hour later I was back with my wife and I wasn't lonely anymore :)

ODC1: Abstract. Playing with some wire and PSE.
Not necessarily my favorite, but it was something very different from what I normally post and was my highest explore and #views/favs, so I will add it here for our final 52 weeks of 2013 theme.
