MacArthur Park

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet, green icing flowing down...

Someone left the cake out in the rain

I don't think that I can take it

'Cause it took so long to bake it

And I'll never have that recipe again

Oh, no!

A lost love remains here, sitting by himself, unable to forget all of the feelings shared at this park. As it gets dark, eyes begin to fill with tears (MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark). The sweet green icing begins flowing down refers to the green leaves on the trees flowing together as seen through tears. This love ended without reason (Someone left the cake out in the rain...), he will never love like this again ('Cause it took so long to bake it), and a love like this will never exist again (And I'll never have that recipe again...).

Anyone who has experienced young love can relate to this. Unpredictable, often blinding, and without mercy are probably the best ways of describing the only emotion that can feel perfect in one moment, and like the end of the world in the next.

Small collection of images from my day at the LA County Arboretum. I specifically was looking for shots that were geometrically similar.

The Grid Blues

Surrounded by the Metropolis, with its streets and canyons of buildings, all designed in grids, the hustle and bustle of a city can bring many of us down, feeling so boxed in, detached from the natural world of our origins. This image reaches out to me as a literal representation of "The Grid Blues".
