Description

When I first came upon this scene, there was a 1992 - 1996 Toyota Camry sitting amid all of the carnage it had caused (Hmm...? Toyota?) The next day, the car was gone but the "mangle" remained. In addition to the damage, what attracted me was the color. You don't see that many orange fences in Chicago. They're almost all uniformly black. Chip and I were trying to figure out if this was actually orange paint or Rustoleum. (Chip thinks it's that snazzy new Rostoleum-colored paint.) This picture was made on Kimball Avenue, near Argyle Street and the Chicago River, on April 23, 2010.

Perhaps you don't see many orange fences because they attract Toyotas? The colour does make for a very neat image though. : )

Cool capture and twisted patterns. Rustoleum makes an orange primer??? Dana

I went to the Rustoleum website. Wow! Chip might be right about that orange paint. It's not primer, either ... they've got designer colors now! I think I would be in my Toyota thinking, "don't hit that fence, don't hit that fence," and WHAM! You know how it would end! You probably hit what you're staring at.

The things I learn here are simply amazing!! Now I know what I need to rust proof anything--and in designer colors no less. I love all the twisted, tangled, and smashed pieces here, though I'm sure glad it wasn't me driving the car that caused it.

Oh wow! I love this shot. I remember when I saw the little-bitty version of it on your camera screen. WOW! It's even more vivid, I guess because it's bigger, though I somehow think that the owner of the Toyota and the owner of that fence might not like the vividness you captured. Oh well...since when were they art critics anyway. I love this color combo. It pops.
