"mural"

A series of "walls"... No matter how many times I've walked past them (and photographed them) before, they are still stopping me in my tracks every time I see them.

I do not regard myself as a photographer. I'm merely a guy who enjoys capturing all the memorable scenes that I encounter in my everyday life. Perhaps, it's like a traveller hoping to record his memorable journey, but in my case, it's the journey of my life ... If I can record my encounters in such a way that they leave an image on the mind of myself and other viewers, it's a tremendous joy and some accomplishment...
In terms of photography, I'm trying to preserve the moments as my eyes see "something" and my heart feels it too. As such, I seldom feel interested in planned, arranged or manipulated photographs...

When brick & wood marry together ! Looks like an alien spreading her numerous arms. Almost an abstract !

How many times people have walked past those walls and didn't see them? You do see them and the beauty of the shapes in them.

A clear reminder that nature will penetrate any walls we choose to make.

We haven't seen an abstraction from you in a while, Hugo - this qualifies! Wonderful light and form.
