Sky Tracery


This is safety netting at a golf driving range, that happens to be next to a Starbucks where I often stop for coffee. The delicate tracery of the netting seen against the sky has always fascinated me. I have photographed it before, but never quite felt that I "got" it. Today is different. Apparently the terrible nor'easter we had last weekend has wreaked havoc with the facility. Huge areas of netting are missing, and the tops of telephone poles which hold the netting are snapped off! So the ordinary patterns of the netting have changed, and the sky was perfect. I love that it is not quite clear what is going on in this photograph, and that for me is part of the attraction.
