The Lens Artists photo challenge this week is to post images that are abstract. That is, in the words of Patti Moed who set this week’s challenge, it is an image that “goes beyond what we normally see in the real world. It makes viewers ask questions and use their imagination.”
I wandered around a lot looking for photos that made me question what I saw or look at things in different ways, before I finally wandered into the foundation of my world: the basement. I looked around at the disorganized shelves and the stacks of stuff, and saw things I hadn’t noticed before. This is some of what I saw that I don’t normally see.
Ducts carrying warm air throughout the house (and pumping some of it into the basement)
Heavy electrical cabling coming out of the main junction box
The plumbing going into and out of the geothermal furnace and water heater
One last shot that includes all of the above: ducts, wires, and plumbing, receding into the crawl space behind the basement
Posted in response to Lens Artists #74: Abstract, with thanks to Patti for posting this week’s challenge.
ON ANOTHER NOTE: Starting in January 2020 I’ll be posting only on my official author website. If you enjoy my content, please start following me there: www.celiareaves.com. I value every one of my followers, and I hope you stick with me!
A great solution and something of a mind opener – your own basement! Well done !

I should go down and do some research in my own cellar as well…but oh, much to do if I start such an adventure. Better not even think about it.

I know what you mean. I had to work to keep focused on interesting photos, and not the litany of things to clear out and clean up and organize. Basements can be challenging places!

I appreciate your eye – I hadn’t really noticed that blue junction box until you mentioned it, and now I see it pop! Thanks.

Great idea, Celia! My favorite is your shot of the wires. I wonder what it would look like if you added some filters to it. Intriguing thought!!
