Seen on the shore just past the parking lot here in South San Francisco.

Donna said...: for some reason the bleak quality of the shot puts that old show Twin Peaks in my head. That and it looks like it could be an illustration for a Raymond Carver story.; May 14, 2009 at 6:01 AM

Tom Hilton said...: Actually, it's probably pretty pungent as well.; May 14, 2009 at 9:04 AM
Generik said...: Probably more pungent than poignant, yes. This was shot at low tide, so I'm sure that thing is underwater when the tide is high.

Donna, I got a Twin Peaks vibe from that as well! I could almost hear Jack Nance saying, "...wrapped in plastic." And Raymond Carver is one of my very favorite writers. When I used to write short stories, I wanted to be Raymond Carver.; May 14, 2009 at 9:36 AM
Donna said...: My goal as a painter is to convey emotion and form with as few brush strokes as Carver used words -- if that makes any sense.; May 14, 2009 at 9:57 AM
Generik said...: Makes perfect sense to me.; May 14, 2009 at 2:09 PM
