Fence in the Fall
After accidentally posting today’s blog yesterday (again – aargh), I am just doing a quick and dirty post because I am not yet ready to have a day off in my blog. I understand what quick and dirty means, but if I said I was doing a slow and clean post would you hit the back button on reading that? I think I might.
This picture was taken at the same time as yesterday’s trees, leaves, mist and frost. The mist and raking light are the same and there is some frost left on the pipes, but really, this picture would have seemed out of place in yesterday’s post. I am glad for this accidental chance to use it.
This view is located at the edge of one of the playing fields in Beacon Hill Park, near its north east corner. I am not sure what these pipes are doing on top of bits of stored fence, but I assume that they are covering the spiky part of the chainlinks, maybe to protect leaping ball players or some such thing.

I like this image too, great contrasts!

After posting my reply to Katie, I thought about it some more. I am inclined to disagree that the yellow pipes bring simplicity to the photo. I think I was looking at them too much, and not at their surroundings. This thought inspired me to crop the image to see if what I was concentrating on would stand better alone. So, here is the crop, which has its own merits.

I like this image for all the lines and shapes in it. And the sun play too. 🙂

Thanks Katie – it would be a pretty noisy and uninteresting picture without the pipes – I was thinking that somehow they bring an acceptable simplicity to an otherwise too cluttered view.
