Messy - Thematic Photograpny

Sometimes nature is so messy like this fallen tree with its roots out of the ground.

But at least it can disguise the mess it made.

Other bits of trees are used by farmers to stop a mess getting worse.

At least the barrier they create makes the fly tippers look somewhere else.

Natures strong winds cause a problem and create a messy outlook for me to sort out.

The messy mass against the fence tethered by a green line is a honeysuckle bush. Its metal support has fractured and lies at an angle rather than standing upright.

I guess it's human nature that creates scenes like this - the nearest I could find to something messy like Carmi's at Thematic-Photographic-397.

Messy - Thematic Photography

"To find a form that accommodates the mess that is the task of the artist now."

If you substitute photographer for artist in the quote from Samuel Beckett you get the task that Carmi has set us this week.

Where to begin?

Messy corner

Having loaded up with cameras, backpack and hat I only had to travel to the bottom of my drive for another messy corner created by a sycamore tree losing its leaves.

Autumn's first mess

With autumn taking a step forward, it does seem to have been long since something in the pink has turned into a messy sight.

Then there is a mess that is becoming more useful as it ages.

And a sign that nature can take care of its own mess as it rots.

Blackberries past their best

Some autumn sights add colour to a scene.

But there is some mess that I wish some people would not leave behind.

Have I succeeded with this 'messy' post?
