Pilgrimage: #18: Digging

an earthy smell
but no skunk to be seen
crumbling pavement
rough
uneven
then
the orange backhoe
stationary
still
against the green hill
they are cutting
the eucalyptus grove
down

  1. This is a particularly striking photo. The abandon. The color. The lean.

  2. Yes, and the sharpness of "they are cutting/the eucalyptus grove/down," so much violence against the ripeness of the color.
