THE MAGIC OF GARBAGE AND LIGHT

in Sunday 星期天3 years ago (edited)

After buying some stuff in the grocery store, I walked to the sea. There, on the stretch of coastline near the port ...

... I came across a highly decorative piece of garbage.

It was a plastic foil. One of those large ones that are used in agriculture. To cover the seeds or young plants.

The nearest large enough cabbage fields that use the foils are at least a kilometer or two from the port.

It was quite a journey from there to the sea.

The wind did a great job bringing us the foil ...

... and it continued that great job by making it flutter.

The thing looked very alive. Like some mysterious, alien life form.

It made me imagine surreal landscapes made of shimmering veils, with alien creatures camouflaged in that surreal environment.

Fragments of vegetation visible through the nylon looked great in the morning light.

Powered by the pretty cold wind ...

(Enlargeable)

... the magic of garbage and light was created.

Only from a distance ...

... the thing looked more like normal garbage ...

... so I kept my focus on details ...

... to keep the magic alive.

I spent almost an hour around that tattered foil caught by the thorny branches of some small coastal tree.

It was a bit like traveling very far ...

... while being in the same place.

At some point, I felt hungry and decided to go home. The nylon was waving goodbye as I walked away.

Not far from there, just across the inlet, I saw a group of elegant birds that kind of resembled that foil ... but that's another story. This one ends here - THE END.

POST SCRIPTUM: The little snowy herons that you saw at the end of this post will appear in another post that I'll publish later in the Feathered Friends community. As always in these posts on HIVE, the photographs and GIFs made from some of those photographs are my work.

Sort:  

Walking pass here in the dark and seeing this plastic foil dancing in the wind will be very scary 🤣

Hehehhe true 😀 the night can make a monster out of many things.

Yes 🤣🤣

Wow, you are a great photographic artist. Beautiful photos and content.
Thanks for sharing the beauty, sensitivity and versatility of your work, congratulations.
See you soon, in the next post!

Thank you 🙂 Glad you like the post.

Nice title haha. It's neat when a person is able to capture some beauty in something like garbage.

That thing certainly travelled a long way from where it originated.

That nylon looks like some kind of wedding veil. Love the birds photo and I'm looking to check on your Feathered Friends story as well!

The way you shared the polythene flying scene seems really weird and alien. These are very harmful to the soil. These should be avoided.

Seems like a very strong wind

Lovely as always

a good idea so the plastic doesn't get scattered and an eyesore.

Have a !PIZZA

I haven't sold a single copy of my autobiography.
Sigh. That's the story of my life.
