This week’s Mundane Monday challenge shows the Taj Mahal framed by stacks of sandbags. It reminded me immediately of the stacks of sandbags I saw, and photographed, last week along a creek bed. No Taj Mahal here, but I was reminded of Leonard Cohen’s lyric, that the crack in everything is “how the light gets in.” In these stacks, the crack is where the flowers can grow:
It’s wonderful how your perspective has allowed me to stop and think about this image and about picking up my camera again.

This is interesting that you got inspired by my last pic. Even without the Taj Mahal, your caption is very nice. The flowers’ growth through the sandbags is wonderful.

I think the Leonard Cohen quotation sets the imagery off nicely. Who knew a quotation makes a nice frame?

I’ve been working on this challenge for about a year now. My interpretation of “mundane” has become to photograph things around my home that I pass by on a regular basis and might not notice otherwise, if not for this challenge.

Excellent idea! In my opinion, that’s one of the more valuable functions of art — to call our attention to things we might otherwise not notice, such as the beauty of flowers growing from a wall of sandbags. I’m so going to enjoy your Mundane Mondays now that I’ve found your blog!
