It’s been a long time since I’ve played along with one of Carmi’s photographic challenges. I don’t know what made me pop over to his blog tonight & decide to take on this week’s challenge – angles.
I took this photo a few months ago, after my son had told me that a tree had clearly decided to drop its branches straight down through a tin roof. This particular roof is on a small enclosed space adjacent to our old sugar house that’s now used for storage. The tin on this roof isn’t all that old – I’d guess about 20 years. As tin roofs go, that’s practically brand new.
These branches apparently dropped from a fairly good height, hitting the roof dead on with their broken parts. The bottom of those branches are lodged into the earthen floor of this little shed. Odd how things happen sometimes.
Anyway, this picture is just full of angles, replete with them. (Now there’s a word I don’t use often.) So Carmi’s challenge presented the perfect opportunity to share it with you. Now go play the game yourself.
Wow! This reminds me that nature, for all our vaunted engineering genius, will always win. I can almost feel the power of that gravitationally-shoved hunk of wood. That’s one scary angle!
So glad you were able to make it back. You always have such a neat way of looking at the world. You know you’re always welcome 🙂
what on earth’s going on there?! my eyes took ages to work it out!
I thought the explanation would clarify what you were looking at, mmp. Sorry I didn’t do a good enough job describing it. In that case, simply enjoy the abstract angular art!

Nature abhors a vacuum. And a tin roof, apparently!
😉
Yikes Peg!
Thanks for all the positive photographic comments. Can’t wait to visit all of yours!
Wow, this is amazing, so sorry for you, but this could absolutely be our pole barn, from a storm we had as well. Sadly our roof caved in too! What a super photo for at an angle, it’s angles at an angle! It’s so angled!
Lots of angles, but isn’t it strange we get the angles when we take photos without realising often that they are there?
peeled that tin like a can! Yikes! Great shot 🙂
