Patched House

No need for curtains

I like the design!

Great structure in

It's where the air conditioner is plugged in. I don't know how you did it but this comes across in an artistic way Jack.

Jack, Almost electric, like lightning from a cloud to earth. 

My first "practical" thought as to origin was A/C.  Doubt it though.

The Stairs, back wall and bump out all contribute a nice geometry, and the water stain on the lower wall, a kind of horizon, and weed a tree for the lightning strike. A good catch. Sandy

Hello Jack:

You know what I have been absent and detached from PN, but precisely because of my passion for photography, I return (not as often as before) especially to portfolios like yours. You put your viewer to the test eh? Well, your posing puzzles to the mind, in mine this resulted in seeing it as the sky and a bolt of lightning hitting the earth, only glad that there is another sky above the first….now, may it be a cloud? And if so, starting to produce two other lightnings? Whatever it is, it is certainly one of your great, enigmatic photographs, in which by the way, the cropping is of such importance to the context that it exposes (pardon the photographic pun) your savvy and experience. Take care and receive my best personal regards.

Thanks for the comment. Like you I have become absent and detached from photonet although my absence hasn't been as protracted as yours. My conception (and experience) of pn as a kind of meeting place for photographers to both display their work and exchange viewpoints is often at odds with the present reality. There are times when activity increases and I think that maybe this time we're entering a livelier period of creative ferment but we always seem to flutter back into the banal, the creative doldrums or the formulaic response. I've been around long enough to understand that I need outside stimulation in one form or another as a catalyst to enable me to re-imagine the world. Seeing truly original work redefines the possibilities for all of us. It's when that creative interchange disappears and. we slide into periods of ennui that I feel discouraged and begin to question just what I am doing here. I'm sure there are others that feel this way as well. I recover - I always do - but I have to say it wears on me.
