A Shell Game

 
Too hot to care about much. And it's the week of the paper route for me again. I promise to keep looking for good things. And you won't know if I'm cheerful or not. The internet is really good for some things.

I like things that look like other things. Here's an example.

bridge abutment

It's just a plain old bridge abutment, but with greenery giving definition to the cracks and some extra bushes for seaweed, it looks like a scallop shell at the bottom of a clear sea.

That's all for today.

  1. I still can't make out what the picture is even though you said what it is. Just stopped by to say hi. Feel I have been neglecting my comment duties lately.

  3. My first impression of that image is of the hull of a long abandoned boat.

  5. I like how the right angle or a little cropping can make something look much more pleasing than what it really is.
    I also like the fact that when I'm doing my posts no one can tell how grumpy I might really be :)

  6. I looked at the picture first, and the first thing I thought was that it looked like a shell.
