Description
Various and sundry dirt tracks atop a ditch, caused by heavy equipment, captured 9/1/14, adjacent to the massive local I-5 freeway widening project, in progress not far from home.
ZOOM worthy.

Great shot my friend... Great structures also!

What amazing patterns those heavy-duty tires make in the dirt! We have a LOT of this going on in this area right now, freeway widening and new bridges being built; lots of orange cones and constricted traffic. It never seems to end. How brave of you to venture onto the surface in pursuit of this great capture, Harry; I'm sure it must have been early enough the workers were still having coffee!

Looks like a lot of people have been through this way recently, Harry.

This deserved a lot more than the 5 comments it got, while a lot of hackneyed, crowd-pleasing images get pages of sycophantic support. The way of the artistic world. But this is another marvelous study of process, nature, and the subtle-and-not-so-subtle collisions of humans with the world under their feet. I thought it a good place to start my first comment here in a while. In zoom, it's almost giddy: The lights and darks are quite jazzy (improvisational, going in many directions, energetic). And the shadows are balanced by a harsh bleaching light. And I like how the lower half---like the side of a mountain in close-up---is balanced by the upper half, which is all tangles of tire tracks. Those tracks are like a bunch of fighting snakes. And the whole image veers off to the left, with the tracks leading us somewhere unknown...The magic of this whole category of your shots is that this might well be a snippet of dirt, surrounded by trucks, abutments, whatever; but in the photo, it seems like a vast desert, of which you've captured one part. Wonderful harsh work of shadow, light and texture; and typical of how you extract sheer moonrock out of a routine a walk from home. With Denise, it's brave of you to go into these places: I'd be afraid a crane would fall on my head. Wonderful shot.
