I like to look closely at things examining the detail. This is just what happened a few weeks ago in Portland, OR. My wife and I were walking down a dock on the Columbia river and there were these very large poles that had been driven into the bottom of the river to secure the dock. Since they are made out of iron and are not painted, guess what happened? Corrosion of course, especially in the wet environment around Portland.

The graduated shadows due to the curve of the pole give the abstract image even more interest.

It is the first of the month already, which means it is time for another calendar shot of our dog Alle. Here she is taking it easy on the arm of our couch.
