A long forgotten fencepost. Made of Pine but long since chemically transformed into lighter and...

Taken in 1992, in the late fall. I was attracted by the passage of

time and it's effect on the fencepost and the wire. The rust, the

mold, the deep furrows. The pine had been long since transformed into

impervious lighter, a phenomenon in which nitrogen from the air

permeates the wood. It becomes very heavy and hard. Impenetrable to

insects or decay. Notice the gnarled wire done by a determined

homesteader with good intentions generations ago, alas, now lost.
