So what's the story? This was a rough week, in terms of newsworthy events, both national and international. I can't make sense of the shootings or the earthquake, of course not. I read somewhere a long time ago that the exact number of birds in the sky above you at any given moment portends to something or has some sort of meaning, maybe it was an old Greek philosopher who said so. Anyways, I saw this pic and it reminded me of a few things, like going to the deli on the corner as a kid, eating my chips and staring at the junk collected along the sidewalk, wondering where it all came from, whose fingers touched it last. It also reminded me of the idea mentioned earlier about birds, whether that logic applies to other objects that populate the landscape. In any case, the color here is striking and the photo altogether masterful. There is a lot to look at and wonder about.
