I found these abandoned fences stacked against a boarded up building – they had outlived their purpose and have been left to the ravages of time. One was once painted a turquoise blue; the other had been left unpainted. The early morning sun warms the color of both, and brings out the texture of flaking and peeling paint on the other. The image is a poignant one – both of these fences were hand made, and one of them painted in the hopes of appearing beautiful. Both now show only the bittersweet textures of nature at work.
