I think this picture kind of relates to the topic that we looked at in class about borders and boundaries. When I took the picture I was worried about how it would turn out with the sun shining down like that, but I really think that adds to the picture. I think it really puts the "boundary" in the spotlight!
Ok, so at first glance this really doesn't look like much, but if you could see the surrounding location you would probably think it's weird too. This tree was at the end of a sandy road and I'm really not sure why it's there. At some point I'm sure someone had a purpose for the rope, but I'm not sure what it would have been.
Believe it or not both of these pictures were take from the same spot. (right- looking down, left- looking up) I think it's really unique how the earth can look so different just by looking a different way. This is definitely one of my favorite sets of pictures.
These two pictures were taken a ways off the water and closer to the dunes. I think they really show how the earth can create it's own art without any influence from man. Some of the designs in the sand and the placement of the grass is really neat considering that it wasn't placed there by man.
This last picture really doesn't resemble art, but I liked it so I decided to post it!

I really love the first two photos you took! I agree with your comment about the first image; it does remind me of Brad's discussion on borders. The way the light falls really makes me want to explore beyond the guard.
I think I'm drawn to the second image because I enjoy pictures of man-made items juxtaposed against natural backdrops.
I was thinking that the string could have been from hanging a bear-bag. I'm not sure where you were exactly, but if you took these pictures near campgrounds, that might explain it. I'm not sure if you camp or not, but a bear-bag is essentially where you put all your items that have a scent, and hoist it in a tree away from camp so that bears and other animals can't get at it.
Overall, I think you took some fantastic pictures. And to me, if you find some aesthetic value in your photos, then it's art. So don't worry!
