Did you consider going all the way? <br /><br />Really like "bleached descent." And it's far away enough from "beached" to have a good chime without seeming too-too.marly youmanshttp://www.thepalaceat2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-32259137675083547582011-08-02T14:40:17.282+02:002011-08-02T14:40:17.282+02:00there's often something so wonderfully photoge...there's often something so wonderfully photogenic in decrepitude. lovely.the polish chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929281676865641560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-17974225339372038662011-08-02T01:51:52.788+02:002011-08-02T01:51:52.788+02:00Ooohhh.

That this latest state is infinitely superior (aethetically) to the original. That they were never designed to function but rather to be. What's also astonishing is the way that rectilinear has become irregular and in some cases curved. "Photograph us," they implore, "in black and white. It was always our destiny after fifty - seventy-five? - years to appear in Box Elder."Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-23111784392703180562011-08-01T05:54:44.169+02:002011-08-01T05:54:44.169+02:00Love the poem and love the choice of B&W for t...Love the poem and love the choice of B&W for the photos.J Cosmo Newberyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459976320205444628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-21530506802013537922011-07-31T23:55:06.036+02:002011-07-31T23:55:06.036+02:00A fawn finding its feet.
