Do you suppose the tree will get a ticket for being closer than 15 feet to the hydrant?

This is very end of the worldish!! Like the world after people :->

I loved Life After People! That was an awesome thought experiment. Much better than Aftermath. Did you know there's a Life After People series coming out?

I like the title of the picture. It is intriguing and creepy at the same time. I wonder how long tree and hydrant have been there. It'd be funny giving a ticket to a tree.

This scene reminds me that no matter how advanced our society becomes, nature will always find a way to retake the land, if given the chance.

I also wonder how long this growth process has taken. Perhaps a couple of generations?

Don't struggle -- you will only sink in deeper!

I'm curious. Do you know if that's still a functioning fire hydrant? I would think that the city would arrange to have the water cut off, in case the tree roots rip apart the piping, but it would be very, very cool to have water emerging from the base of a tree in the event.

Like quicksand...though much slower. :-)

I don't know if this hydrant still functions. I suppose I could call the city and find out.

I *really* like what this is saying. Thank you for posting.

The more I think about it, what first seemed like simply a cool shot turns out to have a powerful message.

Wow Wanda, nice work, I like the composition you chose with the dark corners and the one bright that seems an escape for the hydrant. It works well...


Peace

Your photography is always excellent, but this is particularly striking!

Brava!

haha - this is so awesome!!!!!! Again, my envy knows no limits! Though I did get some time last week in AZ to get some photos of buildings, statues, and other such 'cultural' stuff as time permitted. I'll have to post them soon :D

WONDERFUL PICTURE!

I look forward to seeing your photos. I've not yet visited AZ, so I need people like you to show me what I'm missing. :-)

Oh Arizona, what beautiful weather you had while I was there. Cool and crisp in the morning and evening, a shiny sun and a calm breeze throughout the late morning and early afternoon. I did love it. It's desert, so you don't see much grass around the actual homes, (odd for one from Houston, Texas), but other than that - there were beautiful vibrant pink flower bushes everywhere, orange and grapefruit trees galore, and a wonderfully stark dusk that amazed you with it's striking blue vividness. Also, Mesa, on Main street, had this wonderful cultural arts network all along Main. You would find on most street corners, and some times in between street blocks, these wonderful bronze statues. Some of children playing baseball, another with a woman sitting on a bench, and a man standing, with one leg propped on the bench. Great stuff. I didn't get to spend as much time photographing as I would have liked, but hot dang I was always TIRED! LOL! I'll have to make a powerpoint or something. Took lots of pics.
