It struck me this morning, but because I wasn't sure of the spelling I didn't say at the time, I think it looks like a Hirosige painting, complete with pink petals and the angle of the tree.
I love coming across found art, and this is a dandy one! 3-D Pointillism.
My word verification is upearked. Perhaps it could be a new word describing how politicians speak. "Boehner upearked his position about the Federal deficit."
Cool word verification, Robyn! I was tempted to move the stick inside the frame but that would have involved the effort of bending down and I'm a lazy sod so I left it as it was.
Hahaha, Speedway. That word verification thing is going to get us all into trouble one of these days. Good call on Hiroshige. I love his stuff and of course this picture is full of cherry blossom which is apt for him.
3D pointillism is a great concept, Ms.M. Your boner comment made me giggle like a kid (I refuse to mispronounce his name the same way he does).
Wow, Speedway! What an intriguing place. A bizarre mix of beautiful if quirky nineteenth century buildings and modern corporate architecture with some gems of modern design sprinkled around. I love that big gear sculpture!
Petrea, mostly I just feel weird when I spot something odd and photograph is as invariably people will stop and stare at what I'm photographing and look baffled as to what the heck I am doing.
Weird looks just seem to go with the territory when taking pictures. I got a couple taking pictures of the brick pavers the other day, but people just think "tourist" if the camera is aimed upward at,say, the Monument. If they want to see me as a weird old coot, it's their loss. I'm enjoying myself and get to meet interesting people.
I've had weird looks, too, while photographing shapes or patterns I see that the onlookers don't. I've sometimes had people ask me what it is that I'm photographing.

Yes, it is, Dive. It's everywhere isn't it?
Some of it even comes ready-framed.
Wow, it really is found art. What nice balance and colors.
You won't believe this, but the word verification for my comment is "stick." I'm not kidding.

WV: cunde - I have trouble saying my T's, too.

Here's a link to photos of architecture in Columbus, Indiana. About 60 miles south of Indy, it is an oasis in the desert of El Blando.

Don't you feel like you've struck gold when you find something like this?

I know that feeling, Dive. I like to photograph patterns in rust and cement.
Beauty can be found in the oddest places.

It's definitely their loss, Speedway. Actually, I rather enjoy being a weird old coot.

Me too, Ms.M. and when I tell them they look at me like I'm mad … which usually rather pleases me.
