My Fallen Goddess

My fallen Goddess offering for Monochrome Weekly. I love her in my yard, even as she lays; fallen from her pedestal who knows how or why. Fallen as every God or Goddess or Idol must whether to reason or age or the simple passage of time.

I added some contrast to the image. It was too uniformly grey, but I think I may have added too much. I really like this photo, so perhaps I must fiddle with it some more.

Peace, out!

Sand Chair

I love the look of this weathered wood and rusty metal.

For me, at least, the image is sadly nostalgic- reminding me of visiting our High Desert ranch as a small child, sitting in these long decayed pieces of “lawn” furniture. The Monochrome seems to intensify the melancholy, somehow. Stop by Ailiani’s for more Monochrome Weekly images!

Peace, out!
