Books stacks on the block

I was down the back of the block doing stuff when I noticed how much the old organ and it's book stool had changed over the last 12 months.

This lead me to go around and check out the book stacks on the block. All are doing their quite transitions beautifully - changing and growing wildlife and plants - so I thought I'd share a few images.

I do love the fact that these seats, walls and art pieces are part of our environment but are also gradually breaking down - creating a different beauty.

    The piano and leaves make beautiful images and I love the plants growing through the weathered books.

    Hi V & R - glad you checked out the transitional work - producing some delicious images. R - the plants give them a new dimension - given the paper started with plants!! Go well. B

    It's great to watch these transitions over the years, Barry, and I know we'll be seeing more with time. Lovely shot of the keys and leaves and how delightful that the orchids are finding homes in the books!
