Ephemeral beauty of an ordinary corner

Ephemeral beauty of an ordinary corner
Copyright ©2006, Jyh-Lurn Chang HoF Win ¤1

This is an ordinary corner in an ordinary house (a 17-dollar-a-night hostel in Portland, OR). I would say most of the time people would not notice the existence of it. To me, there must be something beautiful in it for a passerby to enjoy even for just a second. The world is a lot more interesting that way, don't you think? So I took a photo of it. Hopefully someone will think it is beautiful.

There is no photoshopping in it except for the weird cropping that I chose. It is my intention to show a part of everything, including the ledge on the lower right corner. It's totally fine if you disagree. Any comment/suggestion welcome!

It IS ephemeral

Thanks Vaggelis! This photo stayed on the main page for about half a day, and is now no longer there for instant viewing. This beauty IS ephemeral :))

Curious ....

about your photo and Monica´s photo as thumbnail aside at frontsite. The colors are rather like and one can get the feeling that monica´s photo is looking as detail from your photo, Lewis.

Joke aside, I like your photo for the colors you have achieved here. And the peacefull mood.

Kind regards,

I noticed that too when I posted it. What a coincidence. Yes, the way I cropped the image is to make sure the green color(s) is the star of the show. Thanks Horst.
