Description
A broken and unsupported step ladder mysteriously points towards the clouds in a blue sky. Perhaps it is a metaphor for life itself and the often difficult journey we all face. Whilst beachcombing I took advantage of some flotsam or jetsam to create this ephemeral and slighty surreal artwork on the beach near Crow point, Braunton Burrows and Saunton Sands in North Devon, UK. The Taw & Torridge estuaries can be seen in the background. Taken on a hot day one July.

the space between one step and another is going to take some imagination to get to heaven. L/F

What a cool scene....has a very surreal feel to it I think . . . lovely color and textures in addition to the puzzlement of that ladder!!.....fv
Richard Brookes replied:
Thank you for your kind comment Karen. It all came together quickly due to the chance find of the old ladder, the vast beach and great light. I just couldn't resist trying it!
