this picture shows you something not visible to people on the street. there is a fence with plastic sheeting blocking this from the sidewalk.
i stuck my hands into the gaps at the corner and held my iphone over the water (pretty high over it, as you can see). it is the foundation of a building with a lot of water in it. in my mind, there are creatures lurking in the hazy untamed pool. i’ve seen this in my dreams, you know.
you can see about thirty or forty feet of that white sheeting on the left side of the frame. there is a gap, too, where there is only a typical, climbable fence between the street and this…thing. big, ugly water. murk. lake-like crater.
Yes. That is dream imagery. That is a freakin Kurosawa frame. All kinds of Jungian suggestions to be drawn.
One of the rusty support poles, which appear to have been retrofitted as some sort of temporary measure long overdue for the next phase of construction, is starting to buckle against the weight of the earth on the other side of that crumbly foundation wall. This is just overall not a good situation. It’s like the ultimate sump pump issue. In a neglected lot with apparently blocked drainage.
On the other hand, it is kinda hauntingly picturesque. Very evocative snapshot, bro.
thanks ‘mano, appreciate your thoughts on the image. you get just what i was feeling. dude, even the frakken clouds look painted on!
