Eye on the sai - a photo on Flickriver

Eye on the sai

            This reminds me of Raphael.  I mean the leftmost segment, it looks like a frowning ninja turtle to me.

I keep telling myself I need to post more, and more randomly, here, sharing more of what regularly intrigues rather than just the stuff I think meets some vague idea of audience appeal.  I think this was the first of what I’d call artistically intentioned images shot this year, rather than day to day subject based documentation.  As such, it feels like a good place to start the year on here.

I see this wall often, and often notice interesting shadows, but typically they've moved by the time I can get to it with a camera.  This is one of the few times I got there and found what I'd seen from afar still in position, meaning the wire still lit up, the wood texture emphasized, the nails casting attractive shadows, and the central shadow pointing at the lit wire.
