The Happy Accident Light

{believe it or not, there is a fence under all that...}

Ok, so I am terrible at yard work. I really am. The worst part is that I have a very large yard. Over an acre, in fact. I was really busy for a few years, and severely neglected an entire area, which in turn, took full advantage of my absence by going wild. Yard gone wild. It happens. Anywho, I got back out there a couple of weekends ago and made an attempt at taking back my yard. While pulling and cutting and whacking, I discovered a lengthy section of old wire fencing I never even knew was there. I bundled it up and set it aside. But it kept calling to me... I knew there was something it wanted to be, I just didn't know what. It was already beautiful in its rusty elegance, I did not want to overwork it, or take away its quietly rustic character. I thought I would just round out the shape, give it a bit more form, encourage it to be more civilized, but not take a way the barbs, or sharp bits.
And then it happened. I realized that there was a space in the middle aching to be filled by simple clear light. Its very own little sun....

{in daytime it has a sculptural quality}

{the shadows it casts at night are hypnotic and pleasing}

As the late Bob Ross would say, this was a 'happy accident' and I love everything about it.
