I've realised that I have been making roadside pictures without being consciously aware of my doing so. My concentration was on the pieces of bark themselves, not their location. This is a good example. This is another one in black and white. Then I realised that the location was often the roadside.
The roadside pictures usually happen whilst I'm walking down back country soars (eg., Depledge Rd) in Waitpinga on the early morning poodlewalks with Maya. A case in point -- in the late summer of 2024
I am often looking at the roadside whilst I'm walking and the photos that I make are modest. They are of ephemeral objects that are insignificant in themselves. Just like this one -- a particular moment as the light shifted away within a minute or so.
The bark had dropped to the ground by the next morning, due to the strong coastal south-easterly winds. The roadside is usually very dusty as the roads are usually unsealed with the occasional traffic throwing uo clouds of dust that eventually settles on the vegetation. I often wonder how the vegetation survives and is not choked by the layers of dust.
