so many ways to read this.... it is a golden rusty image with strength and beauty. and i love the word tandem. the idea of how we all "work together". certainly i love the way we can all work together....
thanks for your place in my heart...your beauty, generosity and strength.
I find this photo fascinating as well. It does communicate on many levels and I think that urban machinery and farm machinery have their own beauty--the shapes of the wheels and gears and the colors of the oxidized paint. I found this wonderful link. I thought you might like it. http://kidronarts.blogspot.com/2009/05/farm-machinery-as-art.html Thanks for a great haiku, Meri and thank for your lovely and dear comment on my blog. xoxo, Noelle
Sometimes things aren't what they seem. We settle in somewhere, thinking it's going to be safe and hospitable and just what we hoped for, a magical haven that provides us shelter from harm. Then reality sets in and we realize that we were mistaken. That soft place to land turns out to be quite a bit less soft than we'd anticipated. In fact sometimes things get downright hard and cold and unforgiving. Not at all what we expected. Do we stay and make the best of it or fly away to build a new nest somewhere else? Sometimes the most valuable lessons come from learning to see the beauty right in front of your eyes. Sometimes we bloom most gloriously when we learn to thrive just where we are and come to love just what we have. Maybe each of us is exactly where we need to be, learning lessons custom-made for us.
Haiku My Heart i invite you to imagine living in peace one day at a time I have to admit that I'm finding it hard to celebrate the birthday of my country having declared its independence from Mother England, when the country was founded on institutionalized slavery, the idea that white men were created equal but but black men were less than and women weren't even considered. We tend to glorify the "all men are created equal" phrase without looking at the reality. We can do better. We must.

This is a beautiful image in the golden light.
There's a mill stream in my garden which leads to a historic working flour mill this machinery reminds me of the ambience of that place!
Thank you
