More drizzle, another backyard-still for the collection. I find the clutter in rural backyards interesting.

I do as well...I think it makes a statement about the people that live there. Cool shot.

This "clutter" is well composed and the airstream's shiny silver surface seem to pop out of the scene. Very very nice.

Interesting juxtaposition of dwellings. Great tones in detail.

@jeff (aka dogilicious): A difficult edit that I'm not entirely happy with. Note the tin roof on the barn upper right, contrasted by the flat rain sky that causes the problems.

Of course! Very interesting compostion and framing. I like these semiabandoned spaces. The vehicle is fantastic!

@Paco Díaz: Wouldn't mind having an Airstream, or a tree that old.

That is one fancy trailer next to that shed. Do you ever have irate owners chase you out of their backyards or are these your neighbors?

@Steve Rice: If something is really interesting I request permission. Usually I shoot quickly from an adjacent property or right of way, in this instance the road made a sharp bend. I could hear a TV blaring away from inside the house, guessing someone elderly may live there. My neighbors aren't nearly so kewl, but you don't go walking into someones yard in KY without permission : ]

Thank goodness I found someone else who loves clutter in rural areas interesting! I have for a long time! There is plenty in Maine. We even have a relative who lives in a house filled with old canned goods and newspapers. It is just so unusual to me to see people living in these conditions where their things take over their lives. Up here you see people buy a trailer to move into because their house fills up with too much.

@Lambspun: I also have a fondness for shooting the dressers of old women. [I'm certain there's a clinical problem in that : ]
