The Electric Towers Near the Memorial Bridge

As you approach them the electrical towers seem to lose reality in some way; the size is unexpected, and the proportions seem askew. When I saw the chair and hubcap, I thought they seemed like miniatures. I needed to make my way through the underbrush to stand next to it.

Behind the Curtain

Behind the trees, two bridges, three train tracks, arriving ships and local traffic. Still, the trees are full of songbirds and common sparrows.
