Three poles carrying a bit of everything communicate with a neighboring wall. Much care has gone in to maintaining all these wires and the wall, with its band of red and conscientious tuckpointing.

What beautiful flowers. I love purple because the second I look at it, I feel a rush of joy.

I’ve been to the Warren Woods many times and strongly believe that Mr. C picked an ideal spot to propose...

Thanks for painting a picture of the noisy city with your words. Despite the noise, I miss the place.

How lovely to turn an unexpected wait in a vast airport into an artful observation. Thank you for looking outside...

Thank you for visiting

Yup, those are three poles very laden with symbols of a most wired-in society. I see transformers for electric power, phone lines, cable lines, and heavy-duty current-carrying power lines. The poles look old but on them is the “new.”
Celia says
Harley, thanks so much for confirming my hunch–yes, it looks like those things are carrying all the energy we need. And I love that you see them as carriers of ‘the new.’ Well put.
I also like the suggestion of density, in all the windows looking out on the poles. This is the sort of subject Hockney used to paint. The windows imply mystery, as well as inhabitants inside.
Thanks for writing in!
