The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.
Tennessee Williams
While today’s photo doesn’t include violets or mountains it still reminds me of Tennessee Williams’ quote from Camino Real. Symbolic opposites are incorporated throughout this play illustrating a world full of harsh contrasts and in the end we learn the only thing that conquers the broken is love and softness. Here this derelict shipping container on concrete blocks is receiving some wild daisy love from Mother Nature.

Juxtaposition of subjects are foils for each other…

really love the contrast here- and I found more the more I looked – like the lock and the big weed sync – the metal components and the flowers have that juxt vibe – and all in a very subtle B & W – very cool L 🙂

Thanks, Yvette. 🙂 I’m happy to hear you found so many elements to view in this one. There is a lot contained in this small square and most of it is only visible when we slow down to study it.

Nature is humble granting this container some flowers and resilient to grow under it 🙂
