The Art of Scrap Metal
I had seen this sculpture as it was being created at a nearby small metal works shed near the waterfront park. I didn’t realize it was something destined to hang in the park. In fact, I couldn’t quite figure out what it was. I sort of figured the guy was an artist of some sort with his piles of scrap metal collecting around his workshop and the weird shapes laying or hanging around. And I hadn’t taken the time to stop and talk to him. Now that I know what is going on at his little place, I think I’ll stop in for a look and have a chat. I’m bound to get a photo or two of him at work, and that will be far more interesting than this picture of someone else’s work.

Zen
Traveling to Keys View in Joshua Tree National Park, I found these rock cairns built by previous visitors. This one stood out because of its Asian-like structure. The scene was very Zen. I sat beside the formation for several minutes, concentrating on being in the moment.
I tried to frame Big Bear mountain in the photograph, but the close focus on the cairn meant that the plane of apparent focus did not extend to infinity. Still, I think the image captures the feeling of the place as I felt it.
