That is very cool looking.  What is wabi-sabi?  Did you use any special effects on this?  It looks very artsy.

Doreen, I first learned of the phrase from Cheryl Marantino, and I liked it! Here is the Wikipedia definition:

Wabi-sabi (?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience. The phrase comes from the two words wabi and sabi. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" (according to Leonard Koren in his book Wabi-Sabi: for Artists, Designers, Poets and Philosophers). It is a concept derived from the Buddhist assertion of the Three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin?), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō?). Note also that the Japanese word for rust, is also pronounced sabi (the borrowed Chinese character is different, but the word itself is of assumed common etymology), and there is an obvious semantic connection between these concepts.[citation needed]

Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity, simplicity, modesty, intimacy, and suggest a natural process.

I'm glad you liked the photo! No special effects - WYSIWYG

Hi Debi:

I had to laugh...as your post loaded, I was on the other side of my office and saw this photo from far away, I first thought it was a shot of 2x4's and a structure going up.

Sitting down at my computer I realized the photo...what a great shot!

Toula, If I was on the other side of my office, I wouldn't have been able to see it at all! Thanks for having a look.
