Beauty in Strange Places

Description

A set of three digital photos taken on the same day... a couple of weeks before Christmas, 2004. They were taken close to my home in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. People like to dump in this area of the desert - which is illegal, and sullies the landscape, but I've managed to find a strange beauty in it. There's a couple of old couches out there I like - in their decay, being claimed by nature. Of course, there's the remains of dumped dead livestock out there. The bone surrounded by new grass struck me as beautiful, ressurection, in a way. I was especially struck by the beauty of the remains of a calf... the way the ribs jutted out. It reminded me of some strange archetecture.

There is beauty, even in rubbish - if you only look for it.
