And it's so fun to say too. ;)<BR/><BR/>Rima, I try and I try, but I can't help myself. I favor that blue, gosh darn it. I also favor post-post-modern. ;)<BR/><BR/>Bev, we have lots of great expanse of blue sky here. You'll see it a lot -- a LOT -- in my photos. Thank heaven you like it. ha<BR/><BR/>Lisa, oh, the first vote of descent. But you make a good case. And trust me, it is hard to get good old-fashioned landscape shots around here -- what with cars, telephone poles, electric fences, paved streets, etc. in the background. Darn modern life.<BR/><BR/>Diane, I've got you down for Blue Steer, and I'm glad you liked both.<BR/><BR/>Frances, you've also made a good point -- the blue is a tad more interesting in the second picture. The first picture says, well, I AM BLUE. But you know me, that's never a bad thing. ha<BR/><BR/>Mom, glad you liked this one and that you relate to it as being specifically West Odessa. One of our "better" moments I must say.<BR/><BR/>Audrey, thanks for voting, sweetie.<BR/><BR/>It seems we have our first clearly defined winner of pairs: Blue Steer -- not by a nose but by a whole head!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693378720453372676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33950202.post-10008127584610831662007-12-04T04:42:00.000-06:002007-12-04T04:42:00.000-06:00Blue Steer.Blue Steer.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14278168178556385860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33950202.post-32769097636666674602007-12-03T18:23:00.000-06:002007-12-03T18:23:00.000-06:00"Blue Steer", of course.

I think the first photo brings out this aspect, because it makes the steer into quite a mysterious object that could be alive, and is looking at the windmill! It has a wilderness solitude to me, with lone silhouettes surrounded by a great expanse of blue sky.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676624646066417262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33950202.post-28332420133546751392007-12-03T12:47:00.000-06:002007-12-03T12:47:00.000-06:00Blue Steer!

It look more like a post-post-modern/realist painting than like a photograph.

What a great angle and further, the blue hue brings such an elegant touch and dignity to such a common object...Just to prove that each thing, big or small, has beauty.. very very wabi-sabi.
