Detailing the fence
Nothing is less real than realism. Details are confusing. It is only by selection, by elimination, by emphasis, that we get at the real meaning of things.
~ Georgia O’Keeffe
Before we go for today’s walk, the Weekly Photo Challenge is Lost in the Details and I thought I’d take a stab at it. I actually took this photo while out on my morning walk, before I knew what the challenge would be. I like the details and texture of the fence, the snow, the wire, the wood slats, and even the fence post off to the left side of the photo. I don’t know why I keep coming back to this fence and the hay bale it sits on. I may have enough photos of them now to fill a large room. Perhaps it’s the wabi-sabi aspect. I’ve been watching the hay bale and fence slowly erode with time.
Space and time

Galaxies in a small block of ice on the pond
It’s hard to believe that it’s almost December. This year seemed to fly by. Is time faster than the speed of light? (I suppose if time was faster we’d be able to time travel.) Sometimes it feels that way — much too fast.
Nothin’ much

Nothin’ much
What was after the universe? Nothing. But was there anything round the universe to show where it stopped before the nothing place began? It could not be a wall; but there could be a thin line there all round everything.
~ James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
