wheelbarrow

Photo by Jamie O'Shea

This is a wheelbarrow that lays alone on my parents farm. It's wedged up against a wooden stump which probably ended up in their fireplace. 

I love this photo. I love the composition and colours. The light is in just the right place. It's cold and lifeless. The grain in the wood shows off the magestic flow of it's limbs right up to the edges where you could slip off. Somehow seems more attractive to me now that it's spent. A picture of how beauty can re-invent itself from another angle. A new life for it perhaps. I also admire the shadow on the laundry wall in the background. So many thoughts here.
