Mundane Art Contest
As I was thinking about @kus-knees latest "mundane art" contest
and on my way home after dinner in the restaurant at the hotel next door.....
I stopped to take this night time shot of some damaged and discolored ashphalt.
I think that 
my shoe at the bottom of the picture makes it especially endearing, don't you think? :-)

By the way, here's the entrance to the hotel next door:
(yeah, yeah, I know it says "EXIT". Use your imagination!)
Entering the Perla Hotel, Loutraki, Greece

over and out
@onceuponatime
This is a defeat for marketing.. your shoe becomes famous for your inspiration and not for its brand name! Enjoy your stay! :)
I know, eh. I should have photo shopped @onceuponatime onto the shoe!
you have an eye for the abstract !! ;) :D :D ... And the shoe ? Adds charm to the abstract :) ... nice and easy and mundane. And yes, the way you enter is the way you exit :). The circle of life completes itself on the same point :D :D ... I too am an art person. I paint, to be more specific :) .. Check out my blog if you have the time :)
I'll agree with you completely. The way in is the way out.
Go inside.
absolutely !!! :) Dust to Dust -the final destination :) ... Followed you :)
I would be surprised if you could find a asphalt without a damage, but art forgives everything.
Have a nice stay.
Thank you

Great one
I also agree With You @artgalleryraka
Your shoe is very photogenic and charismatic :)
My shoes take after me. In fact, I taught them just about everything they know :-)
that pictures made me think deep!!
Lol thanks for sharing!
I hope that you didn't think so deep that you were unable to come back up to the surface here with the rest of us :-)
Interesting concept, mundane art... the beauty found in unlikely spaces. Wasn't it Leonardo Da Vinci who taught his students how to see/draw better by observing cracks in the wall and the pattern in stains.
As a poet, I feel that the world is teeming with poems, waiting to be perceived and picked from the air =) @onceuponatime
Picking poems from the air! And from trees, and amidst the flowers of meadows too.
And I hope you will catch a big one in the sea!
Thank you, @onceuponatime ! If you've the time/interest, I hope you might enjoy these very short poems of mine, featured on NPR: https://steemit.com/poetry/@yahialababidi/my-poems-featured-on-npr-20171116t14218583z

" Hoping for you that all goverments work quickly"

@onceuponatime,
Artistic eye can be found in anywhere! You have proven that! Actually this is wonderful, and I can assure you have a High Quality camera lenses too! Hope to see more great photography from Greece!
Cheers~
Well, it is a cell phone camera, but yes, the Blackberry Priv has a very good lens.
@onceuponatime,
I thought it was a Cell Phone camera! But it's a high quality one!
Cheers~
watch your picture for a while, and then art is like that, everyone sees what their mind allows them to see, so ...
What did your mind allow you to see (but don't scare me lol)?
I did not expect you to ask, you would think I'm crazy, but I see the face as a kind of an Ogre seen in profile. I see perfectly the nose in the most pronounced crack, let me know if you can see it, it's a profile face haha (I'm ashamed)
Ogres, like beauty, are in the eye of the beholder :-)
the exit from the real world maybe
I left the real world long before this :-)
haha that thought did come to me a bit since you are now a Greece resident :-)
