As we wind down Wabi-Sabi week, I must include some of my many detail shots of the ever-popular back hoe. Have you seen a mother try to drag her four year old son away from watching one in action? Maybe you've been that mother, maybe the son was older or younger. It's like a fire truck, that fascination. But even I can watch a back hoe do it's thing. They're almost alive, like a dinosaur, moving in all directions with their big scary teeth and extensions. So here's to the almighty back hoe, the monster star of demolition and construction.

  1. Fascinating contrast between the two images - one where the backhoe almost looks benign, gentle and calm; and the second image where you see the raw power and the violence... fabulous finish to Wabi-Sabi week Maureen! Thanks for visiting earlier and for all your kind, warm comments. hugs to you, Vxx
