Askew

Don't ask, I don't know why such things catch my eye.

really a eye-catcher - nice harmony of forms and colors.

That could be a bit uncomfortable if someone was trying to use it. You have a photographer's eye - you see something of interest and photograph it which is exactly what you're supposed to do and which will also get you into the elite photography section of Paradise.

Jack said...

I might hae seen it, too, but I would probably have walked on by. I like the way you placed the porta-potty in the overall scene.

Filip Demuinck said...

But still standing.

Greetings,

John said...

Poetry; 'askew portaloo'.

Luis Gomez said...

Like it! This is good T!

Sinbad and I on the Loose said...

Know what would have been funny, tilt the camera so that the porta-potty was level and the rest of the world was askew.

s.c said...

This picture let you look a little longer then a normal picture and that is good. Its just the twist in it. Like it

Robert Geiss said...

This might be THE reason why the remaining world is in balance. Probably a unique moment.

Please have a good Sunday.

Randy said...

A tagged toilet. Who would have thought. It would have caught my eye too T.

Wayne said...

I'm right there with you! At least the cops won't hassle you here :-)

黄清华 Wong Ching Wah said...

You have good eyes !

R.Ramakrishnan said...

Nice capture. Garbage can or post box? Or money chest?

R.Ramakrishnan said...

Ok.I now saw Sindbad's comment - its a porta potty :)

Haha! T that's a classic, you call it a porta potty, Aussies would call it a 'thunderbox' and it looks like this one has been blown right off it's axis!! It certainly is a bright statement on that barren piece of land. Fun capture.

'The Eagle has landed'... did you check to see if Neil Armstrong was around anywhere, doing a moonwalk?!

biebkriebels said...

There must be a heavy person inside or two?

E Squared and Mui said...

A pop of color like this one is bound to catch a photographer's eye.

Birdman said...

I LOVE language and some words are just so wonderful to say... like 'Askew', even if it's connected to a pot-a-potty. hahahahaha

JM said...

:-))) It surely is eye-catching, T.!

Kaori said...

I have no idea why but I could stare at this photo for hours. So many interesting details, besides the obvious, of course! :D

Krunal said...

great colour, cool composition

La sonrisa de Hiperión said...

Esto sería una playa desolada...

Saludos y feliz domingo.

Sharon said...

cieldequimper said...

Or even your path, lol! I hope it doesn't smell as bad as I think it might...

Rosie said...

joshi daniel said...

well spotted!

Mats said...

Maybe cus it sort of tells a story? :) Nice capture!

Ronnie Isacsson said...

That´s what I call a colourspot . Hope you didn´t have to use it (the smell)

Doug Hickok said...

The tilt is what makes it special... looks like someone had a rough day :^)

Marcie said...

What a great find! Especially love the surprise of color!

Dominic Doherty said...

Guess it's because it's kind of a funny scene. Like, if this were a movie, there'd be some drunk guy coming out any second and getting run over by a truck or something lol.
I think I haven't seen a pic taken in Tucson in months... you brought back such a huge amount of material from your travels!

fabrizio said...

perfect sense of concptual art, nice photo

Fernando Santos (Chana) said...

Belo registo...Espectacular....

Amish Stories said...

Now you would have been much more brave to open that door,lol! Richard

James said...

I won't ask but I like it. :)

yas said...

I just want to say, "nice catch" : )
Have a happy weekend!

Alberto Oliver said...

What a luck such things catch your eye then, so in that way we can appreciate them with the same intensity you feel and see them. And that is the supreme purpose of photography, to share emotions in light.
Have a lovely sunday dear T. Hugs. :)

yz said...

hehe, funny shot, great eye

Art said...

Wonderful work, very interesting idea!

DomLOrtha said...

Congrats to have seen this unusual scene! Great eye!
Have a nice day.
