Description
In decline, that is.
Captured 6/4/13, early AM, about a half mile from my daunting domicile.
Textures totally awesome in ZOOM.
No early morning sunshine this time of year because of our annual June gloom, and it doesn't clear up until late morning or early noon. Hence, no high contrast or shadows to display. But it does keep the temperature down.
Adjo, and have a nice day.

The textures would be excellent for modeling.

Superb pattern and texture my friend, amazing shot!

It looks like quite a short fence! Excellent captures of these wonderful textural boards, with knotholes and peeling paint. Is that something living in the low knothole? Or just a collection of debris? At any rate, once again you've done a superb job of showing us a piece of your neighborhood, Harry. Well done!

Again, more "finding the picture in the objects of one's day," a fascinating sequence of variation, plainness next to drama, repetition next to breakage, finish next to decay, and furls and chasms on top of it all. Because while this is a montage of a fence, shots like this take us into the inner world of penetration, decay, chasms and the like, until we end up in a kind of black hole with mysterious contents. (Denise asks what's in there. So do I. Part of the mystery of the shot.) A key part of the journey of these fence-montages is seeing wood take over the fence. By which I mean that the wood eventually claims its place in all fences unless they're cared for constantly, as in repainted, finished, etc. And the glory of those that aren't cared for is that the wood will triumph with its furls and indentations, 'age lines' and holes. And of course its surrenders-to-nature. (It's fun to see the natural wood-color shoot through.) Your montage goes from wider to closeup, the last closeups showing us (I believe) top to bottom of the same plank, where gaping holes predominate. (I believe we see the panel in the first shot.) And it's ironic and funny that this is in front of a "Reinforcing Workers" something-or-other, as if the reinforcers haven't reinforced this fence in a long time. And that bleached light you speak of (apparently common in June in LA---something I never knew) is a gift, in a way, because it gives you a semi-desaturated shot, which allows us to experience texture and light/dark more directly than if the sun were splashing all over it. A natural filter, ready-made... Endlessly fascinating and a lot of fun, filled with wonderful textures for all us texture freaks. I have to find shots like this---I just don't look; and when I do, they come out blah, where even my postwork does nothing for them. This is one of your master categories---not just fences, but montages of decayed surfaces---and they're filled with visual music and magic.
