Next to the Petaluma Arts Center there is a large corporation yard that contains a certain amount of rubble. While walking through the yard in search of possible images, I came across a large steel beam wedged against a piece of concrete. Where the two pieces joined, I noted a padlock sitting in a pool of rainwater.
The only alteration to the photo was to add an internal frame.
In close-up, seeing the Bottle Brush blooms in detail for the first time…
Over the years I have photographed hundreds of abandoned shopping carts throughout Petaluma’s landscape. This photo was taken on the Lynch Creek Trail with no thought given to composition, etc. It was just a quick point and shoot. Frankly, I barely remember taking the shot.
It was when I finally downloaded it that I realized that it was a tad unusual.
The cart was in the water but for some reason (the early morning light, the fog, whatever) it appears to be suspended in mid-air.
