Sidewalk Storm Drain Grate, Warehouse District, New Orleans, LA
No beginning…
No end.
Infinitely intertwining the past, the present, and the future,
the physical and the spiritual…
all plants and animals and minerals.
Eternally merged…
Continuously connected.
Life.
I recently captured this close-up photo of a storm drain grate on a sidewalk in the Warehouse District of New Orleans. It was beautiful! So much lovely architecture and structural elements in NOLA! It reminded me of the Celtic Knot and the inter-connectivity it represents. This week’s WordPress Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge is ‘Connected’. I had to share this photo.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Unique picture and beautiful poem to go with it!

I particularly like how your eye captures what others overlook. A storm drain. Yes. Connectivity. Yes.
