urban

urban environments.

silos

these silos at Tailem Bend South Australia remind me of when I worked on a farm when I was 15.
I was privileged to work for a Christian family who respected me and were wonderful to work for.
wages were $3.00 per hour, and I would make about $100.00 per week.
The vast cement silos hold many tones of grain and dominate the ladscape.

ladder with wind

what’s that saying: Trees that don’t bend with the wind, won’t last the storm”.

this ladder caught my eye on this windy day. It was so errect while the trees were blowing wildly.

i’m sure there are times when I need to be like the ladder and stand tall, be strong etc. but there are times I need to be like the tree and flex with the changes and chalenges that life my present.

fallen door

a door is symbolic of a portal, & a portal is symbolic of a way of accessing the NOW. i.e. a flower, music, conversation with a friend, a photograph, pain: both emotional & physical, a crisis, a breakdown, meditation, prayer, eating a strawberry etc. etc.

… so a fallen door could be a symbol of a lack of portal(s) to the NOW, or a lack of conciousness/awareness.
