Cathodic Protection Test

Heavy cast iron lid and collar.

Flipflop on the tree

Please remove your sandals before entering the tree house.

Tree Palm Tree

Dividing yards and sky

Covered in black hide and yellow leaves. We searched your dark recesses for spare change.

but by then you had already sold the rights to your life story.

It was an errand that needed to be run

The cart was packed. An umbrella perched atop your head like a large brimmed hat.
