Vein with Needles
This is a follow-up to the Concrete Vein post, and is on the same concrete cross-section of the Gonzales Observatory, but a much more delicate vein.
I like how the pine needles and tiny plant make this seem like some mountain ledge in the distance.
It’s another one for the concrete-abstractionists.

Thanks littleislander – it is a mini landscape, shot with a telephoto from the across a steep-sided valley. Or it might be.

Is “concrete-abstractionism” a thing? Either way, this is a great shot.

Its a thing now. According to a comment on my earlier post, someone noticed and liked that ‘abstract’ and ‘concrete’ were adjacent tags. I liked that too, though I had not noticed till it was brought to my attention.

Hi Mr E. Although the vein is less distinct in this image, I like the composition more. The moss, leaves, flaking (?) etc give more depth and interest to the whole.

Hi Katherine. What you are thinking might be flaking, is the bedrock upon which the observatory is built. This bit of concrete holds up the walkway around the perimeter of the observatory – yesterday’s shot is taken from this location. Thanks for your comments about the composition, this image is quite heavily cropped to get a composition that I liked.
