Roadkill & I...

Today the opposite of tomato is a 'clean white shirt in another new exploit'

Having left the scene of yesterday's photographs of the double black lined roadside, the question occurred why I hadn't flipped some of the found 'roadkill' cans over in order to investigate & appreciate their reverse, so this morning prompted a return to the site for just such a purpose, in somewhat gloomier & wetter conditions, the documentary images thus featuring the presence of the taker in shadowy reflected form...



Interesting to note & record that two of the objects had been washed by the flow of coursing rainwater into closer proximity, thus allowing the capture of a more complex composition than previously...


There's something about the livery of the 'Vimto' can, whenever encountered thus, catching one's eye for momentary consideration & contemplation, that somehow suggests the violets & pinks of Cezanne's later palette...
Ah, art & its wonderful, ever-fascinating history is all & always around us...
