stuck in place

The plastic bottle has spun in place for four days at least. It is trapped in the swirl of water right where it comes out of the pipe that takes it under the road. One would think a slight variation in the volume of flow would be all that is required to send it along on its way. But the surface circle whirlpool keeps holding it in place. Is this our life, everything around us changes and we stay the same in relatively the same place and spin.

The regal bird was haloed in deep perple with a lighter shade surrounding the head. The colours are very pastel and they don't seem to photograph well.



Hidden behind dry dead bushes the bright yellow circle discovers a way to be seen, always like eyes peering out from blackness.



Edged in white a blue eye red with fatigue stands as the last guardian where the wall ends and the world continues on.
