Entropy
My morning walks follow a limited variety of routes, always passing by the neighborhood's "locus of decay" in one direction or another. Not sure why; the abandoned two-story apartment is the least attractive thing in the area. Maybe I'm hoping to encourage improvement by giving it positive attention. Or something like that.
After a super-rainy spring the untended grass and plants have made the place even more ruinous.
Until today.
Usually Nature increases entropy and humans try to fight entropy with beauty. This time it's the other way around! = = = = = Artistic note: Love it when Serendipity pops in for a visit. The tearstains under Mr Sun's eyes in the first two frames weren't intentional. They're just shadows made by his eyeballs. I moved the light in the third frame to brighten up everything, and the shadows disappeared. Didn't notice the effect until all the renders were done. ¶ 10:17 AM
