So much depends upon a red dovecot…

A bunch of local tertiary students had an installation of dovecots at Floriade this year. I was really happy with this photo of one of the dovecots.

Dovecot

It reminds me of that lovely William Carlos Williams poem, ‘The Red Wheelbarrow’:

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain

beside the white

Little red wagon
Little red bike
I ain’t no monkey but I know what I like.
I like the way you love me strong and slow,
I’m takin’ you with me, honey baby,
When I go.

I also liked seeing these ones as different faces. It would be fun to animate them!

Making the most of Floriade’s Rock & Roll theme were The Extremes:
