I was waiting for Sarah at her bus stop yesterday afternoon, and I got interested in stuff on the sidewalk. This is a crack in the cement, maybe as wide as my thumb. There's a bigger version behind the jump.

There's an even bigger one of it at the flickr page. You can get lost in it. I took some others, but I'm going to get better shots of the same subjects before I put them on my flickr page.

Neat! It reminds me of the coarse sandstone walls of my old primary school, which used to fascinate me.

Also, that's the first Flickr photo of yours in months that hasn't been hidden by the SafeSearch filter. Did you do something different?

It's hard to tell! Flickr's bot wrote and said I had some things that weren't rated 'safe,' which was news to me, as I had gone to them for a determination, and they said everything I had was safe. So I went to the category -- new since last time I'd looked -- and told it everything I had was 'safe' (I went back and changed one picture that had some naughty words in it). I hope it's made a difference, and this isn't just another sign of random weirdness over there.

Yep, Flickr let me in, too.

Do you think the acorn-brown things at the bottom are organic? They look almost like fungi.

I took them for small fungi myself. At first I thought spores, but spores wouldn't be that big.

I was lurking on a friend's friend list when I found your post. Nice photo.

I was thinking if you liked that you should check out some recent artwork by Robert Pasternak. He has been doing pastels and camera videos (i don;t know proper name... using the camera to film about 1 minute) of concrete. I will put the link in quotes for any who are interested.

It is the link to the Ken Segal Gallery in winnipeg, under Geometric Concretism.

Robert Pasternak did the T-shirt design for the 'Winnipeg in 94' bid many years ago.

I've got it open in another window, and hope I'll have time to look at it. I like to gape at textures sometimes, especially ones where there's something happening.

Okay, found time. It looks interesting, if only it was shown large enough to see it better. (I had the same gripe earlier today when somebody had put up a page of Jack Davis covers for LPs -- all I could see was a hazy overview of the material, and I wanted to see the lines.)

I hope to make it to a Canadian con before I get too old to wander outside. Living in western MA, I'm in driving distance for the time being.
