Poking around our parking lot, I found an interesting van with a porthole. And in and around the porthole? Another car tree.

From the #ItsGoodToBeKing file . . .
“Philip, by the grace of God king of the French, to Boniface who acts as though he were pope, little or no greeting. Let your great fatuity know that in temporalities we are subject to no-one…”
Philip IV “the Fair” of France responding to a letter from Pope Boniface VIII rebuking the king for appointing clerics without regard to papal wishes, a letter that was conspicuously burned, quoted in Brian Tierney, The Crisis of Church & State 1050-1300

The surround of the porthole interest was well spotted. 😀
Barbara – Thank you. It might just be the case that I saw it in the photo, not in the viewfinder…
Good eye! And good for capturing it. I might have said, “Oh, interesting”, without making the effort to frame and shoot.
Judith – Many thanks, This is why I love having a good camera in my phone. I’m almost always equipped to take the shot if I feel like making the effort.
The serene clarity of the palm in the neat porthole is cunningly framed by the suggestion of violent motion in the palm’s Other Life in a hurricane. Framed again, the stillness of the misty present makes me feel that I am in one of those “thin places” where magical insights are available.
Laurna – 🙂 Yes, the impression of motion is pretty strong, isn’t it? (Here’s to magical insights.)
Very nicely spotted and captured!
Jim R – Many thanks.
