Abandonment

Usually paint chips and rotting wood are seen as disgraceful. But take a look at this shot. It seems that this person has given up a long time ago yet when the sun hits it just right, it looks beautiful. Nature has taken over. Filling in the raw unpainted wood with the rich greens of plant life. Its almost like nature's way of saying, "don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Never underestimate the power of Nature. If you turn your back on it, it will be staring at your face when you turn around. There is no escaping it. We must realize that every action we take contributes to the direction of nature. Whether the direction is good or bad, we first need to recognize it. Now I'm not saying leave your sheds unkept so the wildlife will grow, but make an effort to do something, even if it is a small step. If every U.S. household changed just one light bulb to an Energy Star bulb, each year our country would save $600 million in energy costs, enough energy to light 3 million homes, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions from more than 800,000 cars.

I hope you enjoy the picture!
