Ambiguity

Evans Valley Road, Silverton, Oregon–10.5.2011

Minor what wrote that one should look at a photograph not for what it is, but for what else it is. I drive by this upended tree stump nearly every day. Sometimes I have thought it looks like Michelangelo's Pieta. More often, I think it looks like the grim reaper without the characteristic scythe. In the end, it is not necessarily what I see but what you see.

And, by the way, I was tempted to crop out the piece of the power pole on the right, but decided against it. This is as the camera captured it, flaws and all.
