Pine Tree and Lights

 

The upward view from a convenience store picnic table

Rice Fields, Cheonjin

 

Another harvested/not harvested rice field picture. With the addition of a bale of rice straw and the subtraction of colour.

Entrance of Pet Grooming Shop

 

I assume the cat belongs to the owner and it's free to come and go or just flake out on the corner of a pad. I'm not sure if that dog behind the cage wall is jealous of the cat's freedom or contemptuous of the cat's refusal to do anything with that freedom.

Autumn Rice Fields

 

This photograph represents the change of seasons from the golden-tipped and heavy rice plants of autumn to the brown, stubbled fields of winter. 

Cracked Crosswalk Arrow

 

Is this a metaphor? 'The way ahead is not easy,' et cetera. Maybe not. The only thing I had in my mind when I made this photo was, 'This is a very long crosswalk signal.'

View of Ayajin from Bongpo

 I like the clouds, but my attention keeps getting hung on the hook of beach at the bottom left. So I cropped it out:

But now there is almost so water, so the picture became better in one way but worse in another. I'll keep the picture on my hard drive, but I don't think I'll print it and it won't be going into any portfolio.

Wooden Platform

 

I had the camera set to Monochrome when I made this photo, but I switched to colour after I reviewed it a few times. The brown/grey of the tables is a contrast to the green plants.

This sort of table, or platform, is easy to see in the countryside. People sit on them to drink or have a picnic. These have a hole drilled in the centre, probably for a parasol.
