The Interim Fence
It’s easy to fall into the rhythm of the straight roads on the Plains. Fences flash by, post-wire-post-wire-post, in the endless pattern of ranch land.
Until the rhythm is broken by a flash that’s not quite right in a way that makes a photographer seek a place to turn around.

A very true observation, it’s often the subliminal flash of a small detail that registers most, that catching of the eye when a rhythm is broken. Its an unconscious reaction that works without explanation.

The trick, I guess, is being able to recognize what’s going on in time to do something about it. Fortunately, where I live, the roads are (mostly) straight and there’s not much traffic so turning around is almost always an option.

Mouldable glue would be really good here. 🙂 Nice one.

I am going to drive out there and tell them; I think there’s a chance they are unaware of mouldable glue and it’s up to me to change that sad situation.

It’s strangely satisfying to find that break in the rhythm. I like symmetry too, but finding the odd one out is cool too. My wife sometimes shakes her head in bewilderment but I pretend not to see that!

Same thing with my husband. And with me, too!
