Rocks on the Fence 2
I’ve continued setting rocks on the fence since my first post, though not every day.
It seems I’m mostly the only one playing with the rocks this time of year, but there are very few other footprints walking past the fence now, too.
I suspect I’ll see more activity once the weather gets warmer.
Then again, it may be that everyone will figure that I’ve got so much work into setting up rocks that they won’t want to mess with them.
I guess we’ll see what happens.
For now, I’m happy to add a rock most mornings, and if I didn’t find a good rock on the way to the mailbox, I either rearrange those that are there, or pick one up that’s fallen to the ground.
It takes a pretty good wind to blow the rocks off the fence (more than 30mph, I think), but people also bump the fence as they walk past. That’ll topple a few rocks.
In any case, it’s just a pile of rocks. On a fence, but still.
I have been thinking that I have enough pictures that maybe it would be interesting to make a time-lapse movie from them at some point.
But I’ve tried that before. Aligning all the pictures is conceptually simple, but complicated if you do too many. And while I’m pretty sure I could convince Photoshop to do that, it would take some scripting I have never had much enthusiasm for.
Meanwhile, I’ll keep adding or rearranging a rock most mornings, and then taking a photo from roughly the same point-of-view.
I am looking forward to warmer weather, though. It’ll be interesting to see if I pick up any collaborators.
Maybe I’ll get a dozen years like Ted did with his Lake George series. Or maybe not.
