Interrupted, Madison, CT

This one is hard to look at, but it reflects the strange, harsh and transient beauty that high noon brought to this narrow alleyway (thirty minutes later, the sun had passed over, and the scene was flat). I finally found a way into this photo without bringing on a headache (LOL), via the area where the horizontal rows of cement blocks are interrupted. That provides some psychological meaning as well as resting place for the attention to come back to, making it easier to drift off to other parts of the image. This one is not my usual cup of tea, though it does bring up the question of what (and how) we seek, and perhaps find, in any art.
