Caption this photo... (#13)

Sometimes, I just need my readers' cleverness and keen minds to help me finish a post. (In other words: I think this is odd shot is cool, but have no idea what to say about it...)

Judy Williams said...: Minimalistically done. The lines and zigzags of the shadows are cool. The broken chain has a symbolic almost sociological statement. Chains usually connect things together, yet this one is broken and abandoned, almost resembling a pile of poo. What does this say about us as a people? Are we broken? Disconnected? Cast away like a pile along the path? Wait. I'm getting WWWAAAAAY too into this.; July 7, 2009 at 4:54 AM
Judy Williams said...: Oh, a caption: Chain Poo Creeps Toward Geometric Shadows

dbdubya said...: When I first looked at this I wasn't wearing my glasses and had the same reaction as Judy - why is Laurie posting a pile of dog poo? Then I focused and saw it was a pile of rusty chain and a musical theme hit me.

Laurie Allee said...: These are great, people. But DBdubya, dog poo?!?!?! hahahahahahahah!!!!! Okay, now that's all I see, too.; July 7, 2009 at 8:17 AM
dbdubya said...: Hey, I wasn't going to mention until I saw that Judy did - twice! So, that makes two of us that are a little twisted - no, make that three since that's all you now see.; July 7, 2009 at 8:23 AM
Trish said...: Mister Earl...I love it!

My first thought was:
even plate tectonics can't be held back by a measly chain, despite what the Department of Transportation tries!

Or---the condition of the road totaled the truck that was towing...something and there lays the chain, alone and truckless.

It also occurred to me that if one were to hit the road, knees would end up looking somewhat similar---ground up!; July 7, 2009 at 8:25 AM
