Seeing 2011 (#66)

For your consideration: an utterly unexpected vision — I was wandering around the grounds of a local landmark (seeking architectural, statuary and leafy subjects) when I rounded the corner of a building and was rewarded with this chimerical arrangement.

Taken by surprise, and not wanting to lose the chance composition, I managed to hastily and surreptitiously take two photographs before retreating from the scene. Only later did I have time to consider the narration here . . . this tableau reminds me of the kind of imagery my Clifton High School English teacher would have us write stories about.

I took the picture — you write the story. (I invite you to leave leave your visionary version as a comment.)
