The Old Dog Presents: The Mundane as Art Round 13 ..........Wood Piles!

in #mundaneart7 years ago

Yes I know, I'm weird! I love cutting splitting and stacking wood. Mostly though, I LOVE wood piles. In fact I even wrote an article about it well over a year ago.

What Does Your Wood Pile Say About You?

It's for this reason that I've decided to make the theme for round 13 of The Mundane as Art Challenge "Wood Piles"


Here Are Some Sample Photos that I took today, a month ago and last year! Can you say obsession?

Oh yah, it's game on!! I'm working on my post!!

Good stuff!

When I read your post immediately I thought if this picture. I love it not only because the wood is piled up on a steep mountain but also because of my dog Perla and how she was posing there.

Very nice. Thanks for the happy photograph!


Curonian Spit, Lithuania. Lovely place with almost untouched nature. Sandy dunes and pine forest.
But in summer the problem is due sandy land it remains very dry with high possibility of the flame catching pines very quick and hardly stoppable then

Due this fact special services make yearly cutting of the pines and overall cleaning of the forests, as well as keeping clean special anti-flaming sandy lines (some 3-5 mtrs width)

So that was exactly the case, when making a photoshoot there last summer, we stumbled across cleaned area and the woods already cut and prepared in a pile for further transportation to the factory

Enjoy the scenery :)

Thanks so much. It's always lovely to get a submission from you!

Always a pleasure :) Was quite an issue this time to find, luckily got one which made prior to starting a photoshoot... and that was one of the best frames btw

This one is beautiful!

Oh, now, THIS is beautiful! Such a great capture - perfection <3

Now that's what I call thing outside of the box. Great work @psidema!

Thank you. It is a creative idea

Hahaha, it's funny! You are very creative and playful!

Esta foto está genial, la verdad no se habría ocurrido. Te felicito por la creatividad @psidema.

You choose very interesting and unusual themes, @kus-knee. Thank you! I want to present the stacked wood for a heavy and long winter in northern Romania, in a mountain village. It's the wood gathered to heat a church.

wow beautiful dude

Hey @bluemoon, very nice indeed! Such a feeling of security with all of that wood stored up!

Yes, it is a community work, thank you!

Wow! That will give off a lot of warmth!

Yes and no. The church is a big one, not that in the image...this one:

It is a beautiful church! And yes. I can see why they use a lot of wood!

Wow. That's a huge wood pile @bluemoon. I've never seen anything like that except at a merchants! 😊

The wood is near, the winter is hard and long, these are the reasons.

Great photographs @kusknee! I love this theme and I am in!

Oh my @ileana56 you've got me all excited with this photo!

Thank you, @kus-knee! I still remember the day I took this photo, because it was amazing sunset.🙂

love this pic

Such a beautiful sky!

This is a gorgeous sunset. I can't wait for our sky to start making these again.

We've had some wonderful sunsets in recent days. They will definitely be in your area too!

some are boring, some are awesome if you ask me. My favorite is the house that has a wall made of wood, one half dark, one bright...

I'd love to have an entry from you in Bali! That would be very exotic for our virtual gallery!

I Was thinking about it, but I don't think I know any place where they have wood piled...:-(

You can join us on the next round!

Those are great photographs @kusknee! I have a few in mind I could enter although the piles are of a less organised variety! 😁

No problem. I'm also a big fan of minimalistic photography! If its a pile of wood and it looks like art I'm in!

I need to make a note of it or I'll forget! 😂

Oh I wish I could enter more than one! I was quite astonished the first time I saw these neatly cut and precisely stacked wood piles in Europe. This one is in the French Alps near Manigod.

I've cut and stacked a lot of firewood in my life, but my woodpiles were never works of art like this one.

That is a beauty in and of itself but when you add in the scenery. WOW!

The wood pile was right next to the road. I suspect it may have been the only flat spot on the property to stack it! I simply couldn't just focus on the wood pile and leave out the scenery.

Oo Melinda you live in such amazing place! :)
