Old Barn

Turn silver gray
Standing in weather
Seasons affirmed

A familiar venerable agricultural structure near the roadway always attracts attention on any trip north. Such residual artifacts persist as temporal evidence to help synchronize evolving cultures.

“Inside a barn is a whole universe, with its own time zone and climate and ecosystem, a shadowy world of swirling dust illuminated in tiger stripes by light shining through the cracks between the boards.” – Carolyn Jourdan

Urban Tripping

Details pass by
Complete experience
Vibrant revealing

The external human sense organs deliver an enormous deluge of turbulent information to the mind. Reduced down to a manageable distillate for the objective of survival, cognition simplifies these chaotic signals into recognizable patterns. Rationality dominates the utilitarian tendency during customary perception, relentlessly confining potential interpretation.

“We are all of us doomed to spend the rest of our lives watching a movie of our lives – we are always acting on what has just finished happening.” – Tom Wolfe

Exposure Vicissitudes

Atmospheric conditions
Longevity expectancy
Aging gracefully

An isolated rustic structure found in the middle of an abandoned field provides an interesting study of texture, pattern, and continuance.

“Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.” – William Butler Yeats

Circle Star

Accumulated wear
Comfortably worn
Concentric prominence

An act of the mind takes inextensive vibrations and locates them in juxtaposition. Part of the associated perception involves individual history, always part of the present moment as objects in space are distinguished within a combination of simultaneous sensations.

“It would appear that aging is a common but optional part of the life plan.” – Josh Mitteldorf

Grain Elevators

Reinforced concrete
Agrarian facility complex
Emptied by gravity flow

On familiar travel routes, certain anticipated emplacements are repetitively entertaining. Aesthetics opens minds to possibilities and different perspectives. Of course, what is interesting is more of a personal journey than an achievable objective understanding. Time passes and governs wisdom possibilities as ideas rather than factual particulars.

“Silos are the great hidden constant of the industrialized world.” – John Darnielle

The Blue Door

Possible experience
Sufficiently complex
Venerable gallery

A secondary portal takes on an indexical patina related to duration. In this iteration, an object of physical passage indicates the passage of time via exposure oxidation.

“How a world outside us, how a Nature and with it experience, is possible–these are questions for which we have philosophy to thank; or rather, with these questions philosophy came to be.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Weatherworn

Epoch juncture
Complex gnarl
Imagination sets in

An old door indicates passage through time as a narrative written in texture.

“I’m afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.” – Andy Warhol

Bandstand Boogie

National airwaves
Got a good beat
Can dance to it

The defunct restaurant concept was based on adolescents dancing to communal music. Rocking surroundings just steps away from currency, modern trends quickly become nostalgic history.

“I don’t set trends. I just find out what they are and exploit them.” – Dick Clark
