Cracked Up

Posted by Tricia (Melbourne, Australia) on 16 February 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Times like these do surface in our lives from time to time. A hairline crack appears and we let it be, until it becomes a bigger crack and finally, we crack.

Time to get moving and fix those cracks now. No tomorrow.

@dpm: Thanks for dropping by. I guess it's a matter of time. Some people crack faster than others.

very nice shot,like the angle as if going up thesteps,and the sepia tone gives it a very vintage and rugged feel..very nice!:)

@tyan: Thanks Tyan! I actually sepia-ed it and then faded the colour to reach this effect. I love this effect too.

thanks for posting at my blog,i posted my repl here for your convenience:)

hi dearie,thanks for taking time to reply..honestly,after staying at home for slightly more than a year,i actually do not think most women here would quit their jobs to stay home.Because if that is true,i should have more friends!!haha.On a more serious note,i think the converse is true.As in,most would return to work and arrange alternate childcare for their kids,childcare centres,grandparents,maids,nannies..childcare centres here are sprouting out at a phenomenal rate!The standard of living in Singapore is too high.[I am seriously not impressed with the new Budget]Its so tough that i see the need to do some home tutoring to supplement our income.Its hard not to work,the social stigma of stayin home,the money that working brings,the powerful marketing packages that childcare centres have to offer today,the over-glorified hot working mama in powersuit who claims to balance work-life so well....anyway,thats the way it is living in singapore.Let me know if there are greener pastures elsewhere,the grass over here is not even edible,haha.

maivju:z from kyoto, Japan

i really like this...just a thought...how does it look going down the steps?

@maivju:z: This flight of steps lead to a gate and then the road where cars sometimes drive by. I thought that this angle would better capture the cracks lying in the flight of stairs.
